yes, any time you're burning wood you're climate unfriendly. But a lot of other things are climate unfriendly: where do you live what's the energy source breakdown? It's all renewable? Your computer was manufactured and furnaces were involved at some point: what about their emission? It's CO2 all the way down.

You should look at all of this relatively: from an absolute standpoint, humanity isn't good for the planet

> humanity isn’t good for the planet

CO2 levels were at least an order of magnitude higher millions of years ago. Perhaps that is better and humanity is actually improving the planet? Who is to say what is good for a planet?

Humanity may not be good for humanity.

Daily life isn't good for the body, but if you're not going to live your life there's no point having a body.
Wood is renewable..
