@MattMastodon @Sodis My thinking about biomass: if we don't burn it, it will not be released as COâ‚‚ to the atmosphere.

I guess the thinking about biomass was: if we only burned biomass, not fossil mass, then we'd have an equilibrium and no problem. But saying that biomass is net-zero gets it backwards. The COâ‚‚ doesn't care where it's coming from. It is our task to produce as little COâ‚‚ as possible. The goal is to get below the amount of COâ‚‚ /captured/ by biological processes.
