Yeah there’s no way there are still enough standing forests for this.
I was playing cyberpunk earlier. There’s a line in a loading screen news segment that contains the phrase “Amazonian plains”. Even polish capitalists are like “yeah, Brazil is going to kill us all and turn the world lung into a new Great Plains”. Real doomer moment. Guess Poland is joining them.
In Hardspace: Shipbreaker, the view of the Earth shows flooded coasts and only the poles having greenery
To have the wood ready for winter you’d have to have already started cutting and drying the wood by at least 3-4 months ago minimum and that’s assuming it’s already fairly dry wood. Dead trees, depending how dead and dry they are, could probably do but that’s a tiny section of the total forests of course. I live on a 48 acre property and the amount of trees that die naturally each year is about enough to heat the house about 70-80% of the time in the winter with oil filling in the gaps. So that’s like 0.2 square kilometres per household or a density of 5 houses per square kilometre, which ain’t good.
