[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what you are saying, op, is that for hundreds and thousands of years, people cooked on wood and coal, and our planet was just fine, but now my having a wood-powered/gas stove will kill the planet?

And all those super poor millions in other countries that cook on the wood are killing our planet, but you with your Mansion and huge electrical bill and your Tesla (btw, how was your electric stove and car and house-made, using what kind of tools and power in factories only nuclear-powered generators, or perhaps most still use.... horrors fuel to power them!!!!!!) are saving the planet?

And is all of our electricity produced using nuclear generators or are most still using fuel generators to make our electricity???????? (Check the data dear, how much of our electricity is produced using nuclear generators, not that much, maybe 1/5)
Of course, that was BCS we had fewer people; you will say, right? 
So wood fires are bad, but now we have so many people who should cook on an electric stove that uses fuel-powered generators to produce electricity?
I dislike stupid people op, and you just wasted my time with your stupidity. I dislike even more stupid people who think they are smart.[/quote]

Anthropologist here. It's pretty well known that people who have had to cook with gas or coal in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces DO experience medical issues from air quality. This is akin to "women breastfed their babies for all of human history up to the 1950s, formula is unnecessary" - what do you think happened to babies whose mothers died in childbirth or couldn't produce milk? Just because people had to live with something in the past doesnt mean it's harmless or healthy.

Don't really have the bandwidth the argue with the straw man in the rest of the post, yes modern consumer lifestyles are harmful to the planet, just chiming in on that note above. [/quote]
