EPA restricts emissions from word burning stoves.

[Forbes] Gov't collective land and natural resources, not yours. Living off the grid soon to be illegal. Only pre-approved urban residences are authorized.

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

#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?

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

#6  The "lawfare" method of grinding out ever more regulations deserves a separate article of its very own.

We could make a category for it.

"The Mandarinate."

#5  All environmental laws should be local.

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

#4  All wood burning laws should be local.

#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.

#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!

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