[Stoves] Forecasting health SDG - household air pollution for 2030

[Nikhil Desai]

Another adventure of global experts bought by the Gates Foundation.

See Figures 1 and 5. Most countries have minimal probability of meeting the
SDG target.

The GBD Collaborative is a movie made by IHME auteurs, the masters of
murders by assumption.

They do say "Existing datasets do not comprehensively measure
population use of clean fuels and technology for heating and
lighting across locations; we thus report on the exposure to clean (or
unclean) fuels used for cooking."

Yes, except that there are no exposure data and there are no "clean" or
"unclean" fuels, not just for heating (space, water) and lighting but even
for cooking, howsoever defined.

So-called "existing datasets" too are figments of imagination and
assumptions, to which yours truly may have contributed to and is also
guilty of using but not to the extent that the HAP cabal has.

Besides, it is pure thuggery to assume that household air pollution is only
from cooking fuels (not that anybody knows what the fuels are and what the
cooking is, leave alone who and what the cooks are).

The burlesque of "3 billion people" cooking with "dirty fuels" is
entertainment for rich folks. Don't take my word for it;  read Kirk Smith.


The UN Secretary General's report on SDGs 2018
<http://sdgactioncampaign.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/TheSustainableDevelopmentGoalsReport2018.pdf>
 (p. 23) claims that from 2000 to 2016, "1.4 billion people gained access
to clean cooking fuels and technologies. However, these advancements were
mostly offset by population growth during this period "

Credibility is a function of credulity and incentives. No news that the
public health expert class is intellectually and morally bankrupt. Now
putting cooking fuels into SDGs, WHO has compromised its reputation.
