Wood burning is also largely carbon neutral if you allow the trees to regrow.

quote:a just-published analysis suggests that replacing the traditional, wood-burning stoves in sub-Saharan Africa alone with more efficient technology would be enough to offset the carbon emissions of Belgium or Florida Lol it's a loving drop in the bucket globally and it's just to let old people justify running the AC 24/7 in their inhospitable swamp

Because they know that nobody is gonna loving care about that sorta public health issue in not America. They will care if it means they can turn the AC from 68 to 66 and still feel like they're helping tho.

I suspect the point is more along the lines of giving people a justification for feeling that doing nothing is doing great. “at least I use an electric stove, unlike those backwards Africans”. Kind of the next evolution on “but there’s so many of them!”, this time pretending like they’re worse on an individual level and not just in aggregate. The latter obviously also being false, but let’s ignore that.

You guys all seem to have missed the key phrase in that article, which is "can offset carbon emissions." Nobody gives a poo poo what the carbon footprint of those farmers is, they care about being able to claim a "provable" carbon offset that can be sold as an indulgence to a bank executive so that they can claim that they are carbon neutral with receipts. One trip to Aruba can be offset by ten thousand Africans getting shouted at to stop burning wood for cooking and heat by unpaid Gates Foundation interns who flew there to do the yelling. If you buy carbon offsets, this is the type of utter horseshit you're paying money for.

Holy gently caress the Times goes out of their way to make this loving rear end in a top hat seem sympathetic, and then rail against basically any sort of tenant protection: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/09/nyregion/rent-landlord-eviction-moratorium.html quote:For more than a year, Vanie Mangal, a physician assistant at a Connecticut hospital, called relatives to tell them that their loved ones were dying of Covid-19, watched as patients gasped their final breaths and feared that she herself would get sick. The lede here is deeply, deeply buried: quote:Ms. Mangal never wanted to be a landlord. For years, she had lived in the upstairs unit of the house, owned by her mother, as just another tenant with her boyfriend, though she paid the “daughter discount” of $900 a month. Her mother, Ahutey Mangal, 70, collected $1,600 for the first-floor unit and $800 for the basement apartment.
