好久没有那么激动了

六月以来，星火燎原，我们的生活也从暗潮涌动到激情澎湃。第一次那么真切地感受到天象的力量。
突然之间发现自己从农业开始做起了林业😅提醒自己时刻想起这些研究对世界的意义，好好做好自己的事情，尽一份力~

Wooden buildings and fuels may drag us to another gulf

We used to burn trees for energy, and we stopped doing that after we had fossil fuels (ugh), then now people thought, oh maybe we should go back to wood fuels again!

This article written by my supervisor: Why Burning Trees for Energy Harms the Climate? explains that this could be a wrong idea. There are three major reasons:

1. When burned, trees generate more CO2 emissions per unit of energy generated than fossil fuels.
2. Harvesting trees for energy releases carbon that would otherwise have remained stored in the forest. It also forgoes future carbon sequestration that otherwise would have occurred had the trees been allowed to continue growing.
3. The re-sequestration of the released carbon back into biomass is not instantaneous.

We also need to rethink how "green" it is to replace concrete with timber products for construction materials.

I read two articles on the pros and cons of using wood to substitute concrete for buildings:
Article 1: TO SAVE OUR CLIMATE WE NEED TALLER TREES NOT TALLER WOODEN BUILDINGS
Article 2: As Mass Timber Takes Off, How Green Is This New Building Material?
