how does gravity curve space-time?

A wood stove releases carbon which the trees removed from the atmosphere and an oil stove releases carbon which was trapped millions of years ago. And whatever fuel you use, make sure that the flue is in good shape and get a carbon monoxide detector.
One that I would consider for my home burns corn. Fuel is relatively low cost and the heating value of corn is relatively high. On which pollutes more or less? Well, being that this is the global warming section, when you calculate your GHG (green House Gas) footprint bio-fuels are a net zero where fossil fuels have a high footprint value. The reason for this is that bio-fuels are renewable. You grow more of said crop, corn, sugar, wood etc, and you once again sequester the CO2. You then burn said fuel and release the CO2 then grow a new crop and sequester it. So, from a GHG perspective, wood or any other form of bio-fuel would pollute less. I have pollution in quotes due to the parsing of types of pollutants. In addition burning fossil fuels releases other chemicals not necessarily associated with GHG while burning bio-fuels is generally cleaner without the addition of complex and expensive scrubbers. Hope this helps.
