Using wood for fuel is very shortsighted, wood produces are dirtier at the smoke stack than coal. Also cutting down the boreal forest for this is extremely destructive, eliminating an ecosystem, that helps to absorb our much over produced carbon dioxide.
The forests in Canada have been shown recently to be net losers of carbon dioxide rather than sinks for carbon dioxide due to the heave cutting down of trees. Also the way that we cut trees with heavy machinery disturbs the land, and it is in the land under the trees that most of the carbon is stored, and the large mycorrhizal network (fungus), that works between trees supporting them with water, carbon, warning, is also destroyed, so it is difficult to replant trees in the disturbed soil. They will have to slowly build up the mycorrhizal network to support themselves.
Finally replanting trees should be done to mimic the forest that was there before, a mixture of trees, not only a monoculture which is prone to disease and blowdowns and fire.
