Providing Efficiency, low cost, smoke reduction, respiratory illness reduction and other benefits to the local population, is somehow an evil foisted onto the rest of the unsuspecting 3rd world countries by the evil industrialist countries.

Good grief! Global warming is a hoax.

In the 70's these phony’s claimed a new ice age was coming.

CO2 levels were 800% higher.

Do not be fooled by the Global warming hoaxers.

These people are so stupid they are a danger to themselves and the rest of us..

@sabaqat They didnt give them stoves for pollution, they gave them stoves because its more efficient at burning fuel. So it doesnt cost as much for them to heat and cook. Your hatred for Americans and the rich clouded your judgement.

fantastic to see.

@doufus "sabaqat" posted the same kind of rubbish.

That the Stoves were an evil plot.....

Lotta parraffin smoking going on..............

LOL

[Tankdriver100]

@doufus My point exactly. I listed four reasons, plus other benefits .

No more paraffin fumes is a great reason.

-----Helping 3rd world countries, is not evil.----

"seaXcrow" below tried to claim the Stoves were an evil plot; -must of smoked too much paraffin..

LOL

@Tankdriver100 I'm pretty sure with regards to fumes children will fair far better not having to breath in Paraffin fumes. For this alone I'm sure you can see an advantage of having a stovetec.

@DickHBox What’s your point? WHO believes is chemtrails? Chemtrails are NOT something to believe in. Read my post carefully.

[DickHBox]

@Tankdriver100. Do you believe in chemtrails as well?

So the condescending white hippie-wannabes and cheapo Chinese labor think they're gonna save those poor, ignorant Africans from themselves. But peek under the rug at all the hidden subsidies and massive energy inputs needed, and suddenly it's not so green.

Reducing PM2.5 particulate exposure is laudable, but what happens to wood sellers when their income drops 70%? An Indian study showed that with an extra stove, fuel use remained constant, the non-cooking fuel being used to heat water.

you charge to much when you can make them from scrap

The US is the world's greatest polluter in terms of cumulative emissions and per capita. There are smaller countries with larger per capita emissions. While China may be a larger emitter, historically, the USA wins out easily in terms of cumulative and per capita emissions over China. Much of China's emissions are in-effect, just industrialised countries' emissions exported to China.

Plus China is doing much more than the US to reduce emissions.
