if you heat with wood skydive, you're definitely going to die exposing yourself to risks that you otherwise would not be

if you heat with wood go swimming, you're definitely going to die exposing yourself to risks that you otherwise would not be

if you heat with wood leave your house, you're definitely going to die exposing yourself to risks that you otherwise would not be

I didn't say one word about the environment. You're funny, fella.

Oh yeah, my bad. It's all about what affects you directly. Who cares about the rest of the world.

This is why we call it a delusion, ladies and gentlemen.

i'd like to see a comparison of the overall efficiency and emissions:

a chunk of coal from mine, to diesel locomotive, through scrubbed power plant, to turbine, to wire, to homeowner's heat pump

an oak cut with chainsaw, hauled home, through splitter, into wood heater

i bet the coal wins on both accounts

Trying to take a hard stance against fire...........it doesn't get much more delusional than that.

Are you referring to me? I voted for Obama

And either way, I don't really see what political affiliation has to do with anything.

The science is clear. It's very harmful to burn wood in your home. Now go ahead and give your children respiratory problems, I don't give a fuck. But you are the one that is deluded.

The science from some guy's blog? If using wood for heat were as catastrophic as that blog makes it out to be, there would be some seriously fucked people in Scandinavia where most homes heat with wood.

a. I don't have kids
b. Science has also proven that Diet Coke causes cancer in lab rats
3. My morning commute to work is more life-threatening than my fireplace
