Another round of speculative-execution vulnerabilities

It's good to see some pushback on the remarkably common but simplistic idea that since biomass sucks up CO2 when it grows and releases it when it burns, all is ok, and we can just burn wood as much as we want with no ill effects. In addition to climate change, the other big environmental crisis is biodiversity loss, largely driven by land use changes. Such as turning native forests into cropland, or for that matter biomass plantations.

Burning biomass is, in the end, a very inefficient way of turning sunlight into usable energy. There just isn't enough arable land on the planet to replace the energy we currently get from fossil fuels. There are other very low carbon energy production technologies that are much more area efficient, like wind, solar and nuclear energy.

Anyway, this isn't the correct forum to debate this. ;)
