Correct. Most squeaky wood floors and stairways, etc., were just assembled
poorly and you can actually fix them _in situ_ with finish screws. I recommend
the #8 GRK finish screws @ 2.5 inch length.

Either find your biggest (heaviest) friend to stand on the spot before you
insert the screw OR find a way to jam the floor down from the ceiling. You
lock the floorboard in place, fully compressed, and then seal it in place with
the screw(s).

For new wooden floors, I highly recommend a layer of cork between the
floorboards and subfloor for a variety of reasons... insulation, noise,
squeak avoidance, etc. I would not build a wooden floor without that layer.

If I am reading this correctly it's the trees and not timber, laminated or
otherwise, which capture CO2. So what kind of advantage does timber offer in
form of CO2 emission? Specially considering the tree is now gone and this

Timber is carbon that a tree has pulled from the atmosphere.

As long as it stays in a building, it's not going back in the atmosphere.

Planting trees and turning them into timber is a form of carbon sequestration.
