Tell that to the European countries who signed onto the Paris accord and are going to be using burning wood as a renewable energy source. Because it’s renewable it won’t count towards the countries total carbon emissions.
Unfortunately burning wood has twice the carbon emissions of natural gas.

Europe's decision to promote the use of wood as a "renewable fuel" will likely greatly increase Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and cause severe harm to the world's forests, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications.
