Ban All The Things!

Campaigners are pressuring the Government to implement plans to ban wood burning stoves from British households after serious health and environmental problems were linked to the appliances. Despite smoke control areas and limits on what can be burnt, wood burning is still an enormous emitter.

New wood burning stoves have had to meet emissions targets Since 2022, which mean they burn cleaner and are labelled Ecodesign. The fuel which can be used in devices is also strictly regulated, with wood only containing 20 percent moisture and under, certified by Woodsure and HETAS, allowed to be burnt.

However, pressure groups and scientific papers have shone new light on just how bad the problem still is. Ecodesign models can emit a staggering 750 times more tiny particle pollution than a modern HGV truck, the European Environmental Bureau says.

    1. Good King Wenceslas last looked out
      On the feast of Stephen
      Where the snow lay all around
      Deep and crisp and even
      Brightly shone the moon that night
      Though the frost was cruel
      When a poor man came in sight
      Gathering winter fuel…..

  2. Surprise surprise … Net Zero causes increased pollution in London !

    The reason for the sudden attack on wood stoves is due to the lunatics pushing Net Zero , which has caused huge price increases and reduced supply of natural gas and electricity , with the result people have been burning wood to stay warm.

    These eco-lunatics seem to expect people to simply freeze in winter .. well that actually may be the plan .. rather than resorting to burning whatever is necessary to stay warm.

    1. They wood prefer that staying warm becomes a KRIME against KLIMATE… 🙂

      Agreed, the KULTISTS are KOOKY loonatics…with a hate on for humanity.

      1. Exactly right. Generating home heat independent of government intervention and interference demonstrates a level of self-sufficiency that is simply criminal.

  3. Yet Drax is still allowed to burn wood pellets manufactured half a world away to generate electricity…

    1. CLEAN versus UNCLEAN is situational, by continent.

      This is the ultimate revelation of the depth and breadth of Climate Nutter Hypocrisy, so it’s certain not to be covered by the “Complicit with Every Form of Insanity” Mainstream Media. I like to think that they’re lies and delusions will one day catch up with them, but what are the chances of that?

  4. I was out in the woodlot last week, cutting down some trees for seasoning. Nothing is going to come between me and my fireplace.

    1. Will you be getting your firewood certified before burning like is required in the UK?
      Just keeping up with fallen trees and trimming back fence rows keeps me 2 years ahead in firewood. Burning it for heat is part of my heritage in my home and native land.

    2. You’ll just have to beg gov’t permission and get an ATB (Authorization To Burn) permit for a couple hundred bucks, and only buy from authorized dealers. A full background check, as well. If it saves just one asthmatic kid in Toronto, it’ll be worth it, right OJ?

  5. Do government buildings burn if they have wood stacked around them? Would that sort of thing upset the ecology?

  6. They’d love to pull that off here in Canada so they can get on with freezing us to death.

  8. You’ll know the joke is over when the peasants are out cutting down the trees on the front lawn of the county court house. For firewood.

    I absolutely love that this campaign against wood is coming in the middle of a war in Europe, in winter, when there’s no heating fuel, and the amazingly expensive electricity is intermittent. Genius!

    1. The Elite Trash is going to be stunned at the backlash when it comes.
      Personally I have had about all of their sh*t I am going to put up with, some green commie starts on me it will go bad.

      1. Euro-backlash is already in full swing, the farmers are blocking the roads all over the place in Germany, France, Holland.

        Newsies don’t cover it, is all. That’s how you know its the Real Deal.

  9. I have lived in small towns where everyone had wood stoves and heaters and used them. There were times when you could barely breath. The statist’s war on clean energy (NG) is resulting in the increase in dirty energy which is tolerable when widely dispersed but people prefer warmth and comfort to cold and deprivation. The road to serfdom, where the serfs will be forced to raid the Crown’s forest for fuel and poach it’s game for meat is almost complete. And this Crown’s government would rather you freeze in the dark.

  10. You cant build bureaucracy and expect it to call it a day.. Seriously, how many people are heating their homes with wood in this day and age?.. Another small % that can be picked off by the democratic BULLIES because it will cost them nothing..

    They are coming for your BBQ next.. As a matter of fact they are coming for everything given enough time.. Its never clean enough for the PPM bureaucracy $$$.. They have jobs to justify..

    1. There is an eco-asshole who lives in my little suburban city who has “air quality” sensors that pick up minor changes in particulate matter among other things … he uses a “purple air” device …

      https://www2.purpleair.com/

      He constantly posts on NextDoor about how shocked he is when at commute time every afternoon next to the freeway … his sensor spikes “dangerously high”. What a shocker. What a tool. But what’s WORSE? He also likes to report that his sensor spikes really high just about dinner time on beautiful summer days … because … so many people are firing up their bbq’s. Yes, he calls for the elimination of BBQ’s altogether. These people are crazed … and you know this idiot is an eco-vegan … bent on BANNING you from eating meat or driving.

  11. Imagine having to get your firewood certified. You know there is too much government when…

  12. Kill all the people! Then everything will be clean and pristine!

    (“Sentient” – that’s irony, right? I shall burn some tires in your honor.)

  13. Smoking cigarettes should kill people almost immediately, why don’t they?

    Humans have sucked in smoke since the ‘discovery’ of fire.

    Sure it’s not good for you to smoke according to the stats, but many smokers still live long.

    We have adapted to smoke.

    1. You sound like a typical smoker in denial. Know them well. Of course most of them are dead now. Leaving their families created so much hardship for them. So maybe you don’t care about your own health but you could at least give a darn for those depending on you. Not that I even care. Just sayin’.

      1. How is that any different than getting the jab or wearing a mask to ‘protect others’?

        “If I cannot smoke in heaven then I shall not go.”
        Mark Twain

  14. I completely quit recycling and don’t GAF what I burn in my fire pit, including any used oil I can’t repurpose. I came to the realization several years ago that giving in to these people just leads them making bigger and more absurd demands.

    1. Jeeze Arty, “giving in to these people just leads them making bigger and more absurd demands.” ain’t that the truth!

      I also suspect that a lot of the smoke is bad due to the fabric attached to the furniture they are burning to stay warm.
      The Eco loons just make the problems worse, and then demand even further rules and restrictions to compensate for it.

  15. This sort of fresh lunacy can be used as a metric for how far removed the laurentian loonies are from reality and actual human beings.

    Put these unfortunates, deprived of the legal ability to warm themselves and they will have nothing to lose. They will fight back.

  16. Been doing construction since the Nixon administration. Buildings are so tight now, that codes make us install by them selves air exhaust systems that auto come on every 10 minutes.
    Because of cancer glues, natural wood turpentine, human/pet CO and gas.
    They’re tight because of energy codes, mandated. So you get indoor pollution. Which require new, more codes.

    Energy code—-> pushes indoor air codes—->pushes up costs—–> more taxes for “affordable” houses—->….

    We’re deep in created problems from the previous “solutions”( unwanted and forced ).

    At least Catch 22 didn’t generate new problems. We are in Catch 23 where we chase solutions to problems caused by solutions.

    At least government office slugs benefit. So we have that.

    1. Ten years ago we got a new furnace & hot water heater installed. They had to run a fresh air duct from the outside to feed the furnace. I mentioned that I thought it was stupid, heating up -40° outside air in the furnace when we could be warming up 68° inside air.

      Was told, “code”. Yet the furnace getting replaced operated just fine using interior air. It’s not like our home is anywhere near airtight.

      Idiots.

  17. What did they expect? Take away our access to cheap, clean, plentiful sources of energy in the name of some eco-loon cult, and we’ll go to the next energy source that helps us the most. Which does NOT mean very expensive “renewable” forms of energy. Those don’t help US. They help the loons feel good and upright and virtuous.

    I wonder if we could just burn the loons for heat?

  18. One might believe that such bans are due to pollution, people being the pollution (in some other’s estimation).

  19. How much of the planet burns from natural causes and what % do wood burning stoves contribute to that?.. Yes, limits are necessary but so are limits on their limits.. CO2 and water come to mind.. You cant put rainwater down the drain anymore because some WONK has decided that rainwater needs to remain where it falls.. Even though the land is used up by your home.. The real reason being they cant afford to maintain the sewer network anymore..

    Hear hear no more water down the drain.. Leaky basements for all of you?..

    It all boils down to a million laws and bylaws with no money or ability to enforce them with out being racist.. I smell smoke.. Lets call in a dog team to find those illegal BBQers.. Who is going to pay for this?.. Nobody that’s who..

  20. Lets conserve water when we live next to a great lake.. They like to say we are using it but really we are just renting it for a short time..
    No reason exists for water conservation for any community within a few miles of the great lakes..

    But when they cook up the California suffering we are living in a dust bowl.. Low flow everything because we are all in this together, except we are not..

    Travel to a third world country and marvel at their showers.. They are not tuned to be just good enough.. They are 4x better than ours..
    In and out in two minutes, awesome.. Here it takes ten minutes.. Same same water wise with some California suffering thrown in..

  21. I bought a wood stove BECAUSE of the WEF arseholes attacking our energy system and our whole way of life.

  22. There’s a few deadwood trolls here or one loser who probably has a picture of Juthtin above their bed.
    Either way, you’ll eventually be stacked like cordwood when the cold civil war turns hot.

  23. I still remember the good ol days (when I was 10 years old) and helped my grandfather clean the terraced creek bank in the rear yard of his beautiful suburban home. Every Fall we would rake up all the cuttings and scrub that we cleared back … and *gasp* … would rake into a pile … and SET IT ON FIRE!!! OMG! We burned all the clippings right there on the creek bank in a small clearing.

    But a funny thing … we never set the creek and surrounding hills on fire. Never burned ourselves. Never torched his house or his neighbors homes. He wasn’t stupid or dull witted, and practiced fire safety. He taught me fire safety. We never burned when it was windy. Never set a fire too large to control. You know, used common human sense. And he also burned household trash in a small, off the shelf, trash-can sized, incinerator (they used to actually make those for backyard burning). Again, never with a bad incident.

    This was in the mid 1960’s … and by the 1980’s all outdoor fires were banned by our County. Why? Simple answer: stupid people. It seems a few fires got out of control. And … the eco-whiners had enough control in the 1980’s (hey … it’s California) that the “toxic smoke” simply had to be banned. BTW … this is suburbia … and not very many people actually had yard fires. So, it wasn’t really any kind of a serious problem. But “controllers” gotta control.
