Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. rips gas stove fears as ‘loathing of modern society’: ‘If you really care about emissions & not politics, then focus on cooking with oils’ or using ‘candles & incense’

Professor Roger Pielke Jr.: "Cooking indoors = emissions. The type of stove matters to emissions rates If you really care about emissions and not politics, then focus on cooking with oils = emissions ~10x of gas stoves. Want to regulate something to reduce indoor emissions? Cooking oil! Olive, corn etc. And ~10x cooking oils? Candles and incense."

"So my current view is that the brief excitement about gas stoves is part of the cultural movement against fossil fuels & is not in fact about indoor air pollution. More generally, there is a phenomenon at work here I can’t quite articulate. Some combination of loathing of modern society, anti-humanity & quasi-religiosity. Fossil fuels make modern life possible. Yes, they have downsides," Pielke Jr. wrote.

WaPo claim: "Scientists say a growing body of research shows that gas stoves pose a threat to the planet.” Pielke Jr. mocks: "And here I always thought it’d be an asteroid or something."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A government that thinks it can control what stove you use is a government with too much power.

The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
