[Stoves] health impact?

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Kirk

 

With all those things taken into consideration, the Malthusians have it wrong. The UN has observed that with development and security of person, people have far fewer children. The global population is predicted to peak in the year 2050 at about 9 billion and will be just below its present level by 2100.

 

At present the world produces enough food to feed a population of 18 billion and the greater portion of it is wasted.  The study of demographics is well developed and the consequences of its changes have been discussed at length by Harry S Dent in a series of books on investment and national economies.

 

The predictions of Paul Erlich have all been falsified within my lifetime. The future just isn’t as dark as it used to be.  Be happy. If you are not happy in this day, for what day are you waiting in which to be happy?

 

Regards

Crispin

Hi all,

 

I was wondering what happens when all the people whos lives are saved add their demand on an already stressed environment.  If 10,000 lives are saved that is 10,000 more mouths to feed and 10,000 more people cutting down forests.  That's today, 20 years from now it will be even more as the saved children begin their own families, and in 40 years even more.  I asked a friend about this and he, being a retired high school teacher, said that the stoves must be accompanied by education.  Any thought on what education would be good?
