The public accepted the second-hand smoke hoax, will they accept this one?

Maybe there will just be an excise tax on gas stoves.

[glorgau]

Plus, those stoves emit carbon!

Dont worry, microwaves are much safer...

Who? Anybody ever heard of this outfit before?

They're looking for any excuse to ban natural gas.

I'm so old I remember wwwaaaaaayyyyy back in the Obama years when the Dims were forcing us to replace coal with "clean burning" natural gas. Now natural gas is the new alleged planet killer.

[Da Coyote]

What a coincidence. Perhaps this latest health fear porn is true. Then again, it’s interesting that it also aligns with climate change fear porn.

Not believing a bit of it unless we see the original data...and allow analysis using accepted statistical methods (e.g., not journalism major or poli sci major first grade math).

As now, I suggest we consider this media-level bullsh**.

The authors relied on 2019 census data to determine what proportion of American children are exposed to asthma-causing toxins produced by gas stoves, borrowing methodology from a 2018 analysis that found 12.3 per cent of pediatric asthma cases in Australia were attributable to cooking on gas ranges.

In other words, unscientific B.S.

They do not even show correlation, let alone causation.

The old correlation is not causation thing. Children who don't get outside are the ones most likely to get asthma. The stove has nothing to do with it.
This fact was the reason heaves in horses was correctly diagnosed. Turns out it had become fashionable years ago to have horses in a closed up barn. Those horses were the ones getting heaves. They opened up the windows and the heaves disappeared. Funny there were never gas stoves in any barn at any time.

7 out of 8 asthma cases show no harm from gas stoves. I really have a very strong dislike for these 🤡s.

[eyeamok]

This is BAD, we need a Federal Law to protect our precious public employee’s and public servants...

Effective immediately, There shall be NO Natural Gas of any kind connected to any building containing Public Employee’s and All Public Employee’s shall immediately be disconnected from and and all Natural Gas Service for their protection

[maddog55]

Another pure BS, climate change,fossil fuel, heating story.

[proxy_user]

You should have a fan vented to the outdoors in the oven hood. That will cut these gases down by 95%.

[George from New England]

Just maybe the natural gas industry suppressed these health concerns decades ago ??

Amory Lovins — RMI founder

wrote “Natural Capitalism”

from book review by Green Goundswell

The book defines natural capital as water, minerals, oil, trees, fish, soil, etc. It discusses the impact of our current system of industrial capitalism on people and the environment and provides a compelling alternative.

right...no conflict of interest there.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just more of the war on “fossil” fuels.

BS starting to eliminate gas stoves

They lie so much to manipulate the sheep

Good thing we don’t have any kids at home! 🙄

Wow what a load of BS. Amazing how the entire MSM establishment gets and stays on message to further the cause.
