What impact does burning wood in a home fireplace have on climate change?
I notice many people using their fireplaces and buying wood to burn in fireplaces in the winter months. I am guessing this has to have some impact on the climate like fossil fuels (e.g. coal and forest fires) do. Am I correct? If so how much of an impact does it have? Links and resources to information would be greatly appreciated.
What else will global warming cause in the next few months?

Now there is a drought in California and it’s attributed to global warming and it’s likely to get worse. And I read that there is flooding and forest fires in different parts of Australia and they are both due to global warming…
