#1 I'm surprised that they haven't restricted people exercising. After all, when you exercise, you produce more CO2.

#2 It had to happen. 20 years ago, (when I smoked two packs a day), a co-worker objected to my smoke harming his lungs. I asked him if he burned wood in his fireplace. He didn't see how that was related.

Well, Chester, now you see how it's related!

#3 This headline is deceptive. Many local governments out west have severely restricted the use of wood-burners, entirely independent of whatever the EPA is doing. The "lawfare" method of grinding out ever more regulations deserves a separate article of its very own.

#4 All wood burning laws should be local.

#5 All environmental laws should be local.

That also goes for all Educational laws, all Labor laws, etc...

We could make a category for it.

"The Mandarinate."

#7 The Left wants us all shivering in the dark and dying in our 30s. Utopia, man.

#9 Possession of wood should be outlawed. Wood is just unoxidized carbon, destined to become CO2 whether you burn it or it decays naturally. No different than unfired ammunition.

To ensure the future of humanity, all traces of CO2 must be removed from our collective atmosphere. Sure, the green plants will be pissed, but what have they ever done for us?

#10 But cannot regulate Gore's emissions...or is that only possible from a licensed masseuse.
