Equating corporate environmental destruction with local energy resilience and biodiversity enhancement is strikingly revealing.

You know the all of the facts that can support clean air, why not share them?

The convenience of a control switch blinds us to the consequences of our energy use, this is the core problem.

Efficient wood burning in the UK, paired with ancestral forestry techniques, not only reconnects us to energy but also makes ecological restoration a necessity.

Using outdated estimated data to influence policy makers... sounds about right 🤪

Measures introduced since 2022 are having a big impact in London, cutting pollution that was already at its lowest level in centuries.

They want you to misinform your MP or councillor to advocate for damaging policies

Jason Scarlett @jayscarlett.bsky.social · Aug 30

True, but if we narrow climate change to air pollution alone, we risk missing the deeper systems driving both climate and health.

The EU is good at drafting grand regulations. The UK tends to be better at uptake and enforcement on the ground. Comparing the two isn’t as simple as you make out.

Gas, oil, coal, electric, imported 'renewables' all have disgraceful drawbacks, they are destroying the environment, the users are the problem.

The minimal emissions of a modern stove using British wood is the visual sum of its negative consequence, its users are paying to enhance our environment.

Good news that that this complaint was upheld by the ASA after council labelled wood burners ‘cosy killers’. Wood is a natural, sustainable and renewable fuel and when used responsibly on a modern stove it plays an important part in heating our homes www.brightonandhovenews.org/2025/05/12/a...

4/ @GeorgeMonbiot’s failed stove use highlights what happens when expectations, design, and lived experience don’t align. Wood burning, like any renewable, needs careful design. EPCs misclassify up to 25% of systems — flawed data leads to flawed solutions. Let's fix that first.

Jason Scarlett @jayscarlett.bsky.social · May 4

3/ Coal and open fires remain common, especially in places like Wales where bituminous house coal is still legal. Multi-fuel stoves are mislabelled as “wood burners,” skewing PM2.5 data and overlooking real culprits. The study’s assumptions miss key regional and technical nuances.

2/ @DrGaryFuller, your recent study raises valid concerns, but relying on EPC data oversimplifies a complex issue. “Wood burner” appears 47 times, yet many of these appliances burn coal or are multi-fuel. That distinction matters and alters the conclusions significantly.

We’re not tackling a problem — like all renewables, we’re innovating potential. And with that innovation comes the chance to alleviate challenges with open eyes and practical thinking. That mindset matters now more than ever.

Great news, it shows skepticism in the politically motivated research you enjoy peddling that polarises debate

Now, it's up to the wood stove industry to honor the trust placed in it by ensuring that every fireplace, chimney, and stove installation meets the highest standards of performance.
