But this statement seems contradictory:   (maybe an error in the short 
summary??   I wonder what the full study actually says):
> Advanced stoves are more efficient than traditional ones. So, for 
> example, advanced stoves require less wood to boil a pot of water. 
> However, kilogram of wood for kilogram of wood, advanced stoves 
> produce PM that absorbs more light than PM from traditional stoves, 
> which produce more reflective PM. Absorbing PM can make a large 
> contribution to atmospheric warming, while reflective PM can offset it.
