Just take a moment and really think about this situation, popeye & movement.

You are reacting to Hillary and not thinking this issue thru.

In many parts of the world women & girls walk for dozens of miles to gather wood for cookstoves daily, & many times in areas where wood is increasingly scarce and trees being decimated. Then there are the dangers to women from breathing smoke in enclosed areas and suffering burns. If medical attention is scarce or too expensive this can be life threatening.

Yeah, as long as it doesn't cost the U.S. Taxpayers one cent.

Yeah.......Burning wood to cook food is really shocking, although I think this has been going on for about....er 100, 000 years. Of course the natural forest fires in America. Russia. Australia which consume millions of acres of woodland is ok. You can't make a buck on the carbon trading scam on that......but I am sure the globalists will find away. 200 years ago Africa was a thriving tribal continent. until the Europeans came along and stuck its guns and industrial jack boot in its face.
