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

[Anderson, Paul]

The important report on the SDG 2000 – 2017 includes this about:
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all

(About appropriate measurement)
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
**************

As long as wood and other solid biomass is called unclean, the goal can never be achieved.  And until there is recognition that SOME stoves and heating devices CAN and DO burn biomass quite cleanly at the household level (and I refer especially to TLUD gasifier stoves), the needed funding will be denied and people who have no other fuel now or in the future will be included in the failure column.

We press on inspite of such “leadership.”

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.
