By only releasing the CO2 that was captured last year, it will even out. We will never go to a zero emission life-style. Even burning wood will release CO2.

agreed, but this Co2 being released by burning wood is, if you like, from now rather than the far distant past. it is this vast store of ancient Co2 that is where most of our current problems have originated. hence the threat from the thaw of the permafrost.
