Default Why does the president

Have a real wood fie burning in the Oval Office while he is with someone ? Isn't that polluting our air and leaving a carbon footprint ? Maybe his people should put in an electric fireplace.

You can't use an electric fireplace to destroy a paper trail.

Get with the times, grandpa. Nobody burns stuff anymore. The current procedure is to wipe, like with a cloth, and then destroy with hammers.

Looks like somebody forgot to pay the electric bill.
Side note: it’s nat gas appliances they are trying to get rid.

The tree that grew the wood, got the carbon that burns in the fireplace from the CO2 in the atmosphere. So when a politician burns it, he or she is only returning the CO2 to the atmosphere from whence it came, and therefore, is not adding to climate change.

When a peasant is burning natural gas or oil products (like gasoline), the carbon in those things also came from the CO2 in the atmosphere, so he or she is an environmental criminal, and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I hope this clears things up.

Yes. Much like National Debt, the POTUS may use carbon credits as a loan to better our lives. That fire makes the sheep feel warm, and safe, which balances out the fact that residential wood burning in CA produces more nastiness than autos, even diesel.

I want a wood burning fireplace in our new home. Wife wants a gas fireplace.
Looks like a backyard fire pit is in my future.
