Burning biomass in N.S. will speed up the climate crisis, warns MIT prof | CBC News
Something wrong with this picture. Many of us having been saying for years that biomass was neither sustainable or climate friendly. Nothing much has ever been said about it in the media. Years later John Sterman, director of MIT’s Sloan Sustainability Initiative says what we have been saying all along. Now it’s news!! 😒
John Sterman, director of MIT’s Sloan Sustainability Initiative, analyzed carbon emissions from burning wood for heat and energy, and found it’s as bad as burning coal, 30 per cent higher than burning fuel oil and 80 per cent higher than natural gas.
