So, the Chinese need to stop burning wood in traditional stoves and start using gas and electricity produced from coal. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, they do the opposite:
How the dirtiest power station in western Europe switched to renewable energy
The Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, England, used to spew out millions of tons of carbon dioxide a year by burning coal. But over the past eight years, it has overhauled its operations by converting four of its six coal-fired units to biomass.
While scientists disagree over the extent to which biomass as a fuel is environmentally friendly, Drax highlights that its supplies come from from sustainably managed and growing forests.

One needs to have the brain of an aphid to buy any of this. (sigh)
The wood pellets come from the USA and Canada. They have to be transported to the UK. Drax gets massive subsidies for this and would be bankrupt without the subsidies. Emits more CO2 than if it burned coal.

Some of the Comments are quite illuminating. Esp. the RSS data comments.
