The global Biomass scam.

Biomass is held up by governments around the world as a net-zero carbon alternative to fossil fuels. Just like most aspects of climate change mitigation though, the reality is far more complicated than that. Some studies have suggested it may actually be doing far more harm than good. So what's going on?


UK citizens can contact their MP to call for an end to biomass electricity subsidies. You can also take action directly via this website: https://www.cutcarbonnotforests.org/
