[Stoves] News of Burning Opportunity - to compute DALYs and sell aDALYs

[Nikhil Desai]

Big wildfires are going on in California in recent days. Many animals have
been killed and just a few hours ago I heard of a human death.

I don't know if the deaths are due to heat or PM2.5. This is an opportunity
for our California friends to do some computation of premature deaths and
disease and publish a paper.

A Facebook friend of mine lost his California home to these fires. He has
been working with Gold Standard Foundation, GACC, and Goldman Sachs to sell
aDALYs as "a health product."  This is an opportunity for him to sell fire
retardants and artificial rains in terms of aDALYs.

WHO published last year a report titled Burning Opportunity: Clean
Household Energy for Health, Sustainable Development, and Wellbeing of
Women and Children
<http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/204717/1/9789241565233_eng.pdf>.
Right on page 1 it claimed "1. A HEALTH CRISIS Household air pollution
(HAP) is driving a global health emergency."

Too many boys and girls crying wolf.

I see a burning opportunity in these California fires. Jerry Brown could be
held liable for millions of tons of GHG emissions; another burning
opportunity.
