[Stoves] Off-topic: My CV - Cooking Vitae (Re: Ron, Paul, Anil)

Traveller miata98 at gmail.com
Fri Sep 30 00:52:19 CDT 2016


Dear Ron:

Thank you for doing a background check on me. Will help FBI when I apply
for US citizenship. Your epithet - "climate denier" - may make me
Un-American, but I trust Hillary.

You might like my piece on Nautilus website - Electric Chaiwallas
<http://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-policy-forum/policy-forum-electric-chaiwallas/>,
where I advocated solar roofs for roadside tea sellers.

Now, I would appreciate if you could challenge a single assertion in my
Nautilus posts - on The Carbo Cult, Tale of Two Disasters, and Connecting
the Dots in an Ocean. (This was years ago, and I am always prepared to
change my views.)

All of that is off-topic, but may help heal your feeling of discord.

As for my "credentials," nobody need take my Curriculum Vitae, which is for
paid consultations. When I write free, I write for fun. I thank the
moderators for indulging me; I take clowning as a serious business, like
science.

It's just that the alleged science of GBD and WHO/EPA exercise on modeling
concentrations from emission rates is no science. I may write on the
evidence basis at a later time.

I just sent you (privately) a couple of my sober writings on cooking and
stoves. Feel free to post them on this List.
-----

Paul:

My work history has little to do with my "cooking life". (Only once I
cooked on work, but that was because my students in Addis gave me a party;
we ran out of food but had enough beer.)

I know very little about stove design. My interest is in policy - what is
the problem and what can be done by whom how? There is too much "global"
talk, playing loose with facts.

I talk to real people about cooking, about making homes, about livelihoods.
I do read peer-reviewed publications but demand a lot of money to write
one.

-----------
Anil:

If most - or even a half - of the readers on this list are 60+ in age,
there is a serious crisis of identity and purpose. Yes, many people I
interacted with on the subject of cooking and stoves - mostly, friends who
were far more tolerant than Ron but that doesn't necessarily make them
wiser - are 55+, but I also know many in younger age group. I don't know
which ones read this list and comment on it.

I also don't know how many women - mothers and cooks, in particular - read
this list and if any are interested in the "evidence for policy".

We still don't have a good response to Xavier Brandao's posts. What are the
achievements of this group over 30 years, and what are the voluntary
performance targets over the next five years?

>
>    ?I am speaking of the cult of anti-CO2 (Carb-o) activists. ??? Of
course, there was local biomass, which they could use amply, but that
wasn?t the object of the NoCarbo Cult. Besides, biomass cooking practices
produced smoke and other toxic emissions, which too didn?t concern the
No-Carbo Cult, because, its proponents argued, biomass was ?renewable?.
Just how the CO2 molecules absorbed by a growing tree anywhere can be
separated by their origin ? this little piggy came from coal, this little
piggy from gas, this little from making charcoal and this one from burning
charcoal ? was not clear to me or anybody. ????..  Hence the No-Carbo Cult.
What it promises is so long-term, it has to stress that the calamity is
already here, because we are all sinners today and are suffering because of
the sins. It treats every molecule of CO2 as a weapon of mass destruction,
but only selectively ? a very small fraction of the CO2 that goes up in the
atmosphere.?

. There are 54 files in all. The combustor has been built in 4 countries so
far and it seems to be fairly stable even with some dimensional changes to
accommodate the available brick sizes. It can be adapted by keeping the
hopper and fire chamber the same size and varying the enclosing metalwork.

at low power, obviously (obvious because it has very well controlled air).

Similarly, global air pollution "data" are <

 model estimates. I have already written how "premature mortality" and
DALYs are model estimates.
>
> Your further contribution hits one nail on the head ? the claims for
?deaths caused? lifted directly from a quote saying ?premature deaths?. It
is obvious that people do not intuitively understand the difference so it
is not wrong to point it out. There is one heck of a lot of difference
between ?7 millions deaths caused by air pollution? and 7 million people
who died having lived a life shorter than it would have been if they were
not exposed to any air pollution at all.  The question that hangs over the
quote from the Geneva paper is, was the statement from the WHO about
?deaths? or did the reporter interpret ?premature deaths? as actual killing
of people who were asphyxiated (or slower) by air pollution?

diseases and diseases to risk factors should not be interpreted as
causality, even for statistical lives lost. We do not have enough evidence
on the exposure intensity and duration of the 55 million or so people who
died that year, nor have we identified the interactions among risk factors
and variations across different populations across regions, income levels,
sex, age, or mobility profiles. We do not have enough evidence to assess
whether risks due to air pollution exposures are reversible and if so, how.
Nor do we have enough evidence that any particular intervention would lead
to a specific reduction in risk at individual level."

>> B. While Rwanda did not "ban charcoal as the primary cooking fuel", I
think it did ban use of charcoal for industrial purposes - in particular, a
brick kiln in what was then the outskirts of Kigali. In 2004, a colleague
who had worked in Rwanda before the genocide in 1994 returned and helped
start sensible biomass energy strategic choices. The government reduced or
eliminated the duties and taxes on LPG - around 2008, I think - which also
made a difference in urban settings (household and commercial).
>
> I think it did, actually, some years ago. I will have to check. It
usually comes and goes. Like Haiti, it is and always probably legal to make
and sell and obviously use charcoal if it was from wood grown on a farm. It
is perfectly OK to stimulate the private sector of create a domestic
resource. What you may notice (Cecil did) is that people who have LPG don?t
use it for heating water. That is often done (Lusaka for example) on
charcoal even in wealthy households. In Java everyone uses at least a
little LPG if it is available ? even in places where you think it is
impossible to get it there. They also (70%) use wood to heat water even if
they cook with LPG. Thus it is not simple. In an attempt to encourage
change we (CSI Indonesia) offered incentives to anyone who could make a
dedicated water heater ? even if it only ran on pellets ? provided the
efficiency was really high ? more like a regular gas water heaters. It was
a perfect opportunity for TLUD?s because the fuel load can be matched to
the task at hand. Not one product was submitted in that category, so far.
