Why is wood seen as a climate-neutral fuel, but coal and oil are not? All these fuels are based on composed organism that collected carbons over their lifetimes, that are now used as a fuel. The only difference is the cycle time.

The cycle time is pretty important in this case. Coal and oil only form under very specific conditions and take millions of years. So when we’re talking about carbon emissions with 1-20 year windows it might as well be infinity.
Wood on the other hand can be replanted and harvested again in 5-10 years.
