[Stoves] CO2 drawdown (Re:Jock)

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Ron

“[RWL:  You misunderstand Jock (a good e-mail friend , who like me has worked on policy matters in DC).  CO2 drawdown is a responsibility of developed countries - especially the USA.  The cheapest way by far is to pay (fairly) rural inhabitants of developing countries for producing and using biochar..”

Why do you think people in developing countries should do something you want just because it is ‘cheapest’? What will you do when they tell you to get stuffed? Bury your own charcoal.

Stove imperialism is bad enough without tacking on charcoal imperialism. Read the Kyoto document: developing countries have on responsibility to follow western fashions.

If you promoted charcoal as a fuel, especially pelleted char dust, you could create millions of permanent jobs in deep rural areas. Start that and people will join in numbers.

Crispin
