Because of this, they certainly want to ban them. They’d rather your freeze
New study uncovers unexpected culprit behind 2,500 deaths per year: ‘Simply too big to ignore?
The use of wood-burning stoves and fires in homes has been linked to 2,500 deaths in the U.K. a year.
The Guardian summarized a report released by Global Action Plan and Hertfordshire County Council explaining that wood-burning stoves and open fires are one of the biggest culprits of small-particle pollution.
Meanwhile, their use has risen in recent years, the publication added, citing an April 2025 study.
While 90% of people have other sources of heating, many still use stoves and fires for aesthetic reasons.
“We all need to stay warm this winter [but] an open fire or wood-burning stove is the most polluting way to heat a home,” Global Action Plan’s Larissa Lockwood told The Guardian.
“Air pollution from wood-burning stoves is cutting lives short and putting people in hospital — the health burden on the British public is simply too big to ignore.”
All they are really doing is linking, but, they cannot 100% definitively state the burning of wood was the cause, but
Lockwood told The Guardian that the government needed to strengthen the powers of local authorities to enforce regulations, better communicate the dangers of burning wood and other solid fuels to the public, and help people to insulate their homes and install cleaner heating systems.
In other words, the Government needs to ban them, even though more and more across the UK, and Europe, are using wood fireplaces because the cost of energy has gotten so high due to climate scam restrictions.
Climate activists have a long history of making stuff up. (lying)
Climate deniers have a long history of making stuff up. (lying) As do all MAGAts.
Rimjob wanna cracker? Sqauwk…
CumBrain wanna suck a dick?
Quiet, piggy. Anyone who claims that inert gases cause heat isn’t in any position to accuse others of lying.
Quiet, dumbass. The relative chemical inertness of a gas is irrelevant. You should look that up.
Glass is inert, isn’t it? How does inert glass allow light to enter but prevent infrared (IR) radiation from leaving?? Weird huh?
Carbon dioxde absorbs electromagnetic radiation in the infrared wavelengths.
“The infrared (IR) wavelength range spans from just beyond visible red light (around 700-800 nanometers or 0.7-0.8 micrometers) up to about 1 millimeter (1,000 micrometers), sitting between visible light and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. It’s divided into Near-Infrared (NIR), Mid-Infrared (MIR), and Far-Infrared (FIR), each with specific applications like thermal imaging (FIR), remote controls (NIR), and spectroscopy (NIR/MIR).
Carbon dioxide strongly absorbs infrared radiation, primarily in the mid-infrared region, with major bands centered around 11-16 micrometers (µm), which traps heat and contributes to the greenhouse effect, but also at shorter wavelengths like 4.3 µm, 2.7 µm, and 2 µm, with some absorption also occurring in the near-infrared (NIR).”
Of course the IR-excited molecules eventually release the heat in all directons – up, down, sideways!!
Anyone as scientific illierate as you isn’t in any position to deny scientific findings.
Happy New Year, dumbass!!
