It's been nearly six weeks since the #Dieselgate trial began. This week, the High Court was told that about a million Ford diesel cars were sold in the UK with defective emissions controls. Many of those cars were never formally recalled or fixed; we are long overdue a manufacturer-funded recall.
The effects of wood burning go far beyond physical symptoms.
"Even a new wood stove today could be affected by further tightening of regulations in 10–15 years. This makes the investment riskier – especially since retrofitting is often more expensive than buying new and doesn't always help with older models emissions"
the truth is they actually do ooze poisons into home interiors, whether you like it or not. Do you think the poisons pumped up the flue and outside don't get re-introduced into the home by infiltration and leakage?
Not only that, the vile and lying stove industry employ the same tactics to sell more of these unessential, highly polluting wood-burning stoves knowing that they emit disproportionately massive amounts of highly toxic and carcinogenic pollutants into communities
✨ Our podcast Deadly Industry: Challenging Big Tobacco is back for Series Two! ✨

Still no comment from you on Benzo[a]pyrene emissions? We are expected to tolerate high levels of this toxic carcinogen less than 2m from our windows so that the stove industry can profit from polluting the air in cities. Modern stoves burning "Ready to Burn" wood are proven to be largest UK source
Jenny my lovely green friend. Do you think burning wood in a stove is nice? Are you burning wood often
sounds like superficial, broad-brush word salad. It is gaslighting spin. Misleading tripe. Marketing PR buzzwords. Pseudo-intellectual claptrap. All belched from the stinking stove industry playbook. Stinking stoves.
Toxic air is harming our health, triggering lung conditions and worsening asthma 🫁
79% of people say it worsens their lung condition.
Ban new wood burning stoves

Again, what is your stance on wood burning stoves?
Only half of the UK public are aware that wood-fuelled power stations exist at all, and only half are concerned about the #AirPollution that comes from domestic burning (wood burning stoves and open fires).

So given that they were illegal, what did they do? Somebody should put a fire pit 24/7 in each pro-pollute councillor's house. See how they like it
A resident of East Greenwich, Rhode Island who is being smoked out by a neighbor’s illegal fire pit asked local authorities to enforce the town’s law against backyard burning.
The Town Council’s response? Consider making backyard burning legal.
If the air becomes cleaner, this creates a buffer where stove sellers can say well, now we have room to accommodate our profit driven, cancerous wood-stoves en masse. Wood-stoves: Marketed by shysters and frauds
Who would have thought Tobacco companies lie? Much like the sick, poisoning of milliins world wide by the trend of wood-burning stoves. Promoted by criminals and liars.
Help us take the government to court to protect our water, power and climate from destructive data centres.
Together with Foxglove, we’re launching a legal challenge against the government’s decision to force construction of a data centre in Buckinghamshire.

Can you do one for the urban scourge of wood-burning?
Wood-burning has turned into a fashion accessory that threatens air quality. People and children especially are passive-smoking in our communities with dense hotspots of carcinogenic wood-stove fumes
hopefully this will capture the wood-burning hot spots
🏠🚧🚚 Housing, construction and freight are major sources of pollution in Southwark.
We’re working with @lb-southwark.bsky.social to address those sources head‑on and put residents’ health first.
Any governments official who still supports wood burning in the way it happens should be fully examined. Likely they are affected by the vile, carcinogenic stoker virus. This invades cells and causes morphology like this
💨 Heating our homes shouldn’t harm our health.
If the Government’s serious about prevention and health equity, it’s time to phase out wood burning and invest in clean heating - like the heat pumps our HAC colleagues at @nestauk.bsky.social are showcasing.

did our ancestors burn out the peatland? Sounds like yet another excuse for the minority to set things on fire and guess who all pays?
And more KPMG scandals. Can they be trusted?
