, published last month by Colorado-based RMI , found that 12.7% of childhood asthma cases can be attributed to gas stoves.
Nicole Schomburg, a senior director at FTI Consulting, which advocates for the oil and gas industry said the study used a questionable methodology and cherry-picked its data. But Brady Seals, manager of RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings program and one of the study’s authors, said that’s untrue.and vetting of other scientists in the field across the world.
“We used a previously peer-reviewed methodology… and a previously peer-reviewed meta-analysis, which aggregates all studies done on the issue,” Seals continued., dean of the Colorado School of Public Health, took no issue with the way the study came together.Samet added that there’s no doubt gas stoves emit nitrogen dioxide, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes can aggravate respiratory diseases, leading to coughing, wheezing or difficulty breathing.
Schomburg, whose company works with the Independent Petroleum Association of America, also noted that the RMI study doesn’t prove that gas stoves specifically cause asthma, a point seized on by conservative outlets like the
Meanwhile, the renewable industry could employ more people, provide cheaper energy, and insurance rates wouldn’t explode, if we took climate change seriously
This industry is literally destroying the planet and we’re worried about primarily white people’s jobs…
Seriously…we can’t cook out on camp fire or grills. Jeeze..I am going to start voting more Republicans in.
Everyone wants hard science until the science tells them that their cash cow is bad...
Imagine being FTIConsulting and having to live with yourself. copolitics
😋😋
Because it's a bullshit study.
Lol
Lol
the oil/gas lobby will fail miserably this is another tabacco-type disinformation campaign by methane conglomerates Emissions information from burning methane from pipes & tanks (ie processed methane) r known to all scientists & the industry NO & NO2 dominant & CO2
O&G is very well connected here, and uses innocuous names like “responsible energy development” to disguise themselves. Childhood asthma is only a very small part of the problem with “natural” gas.
Good! Shove this whole debate into the sunlight so we can all see the FACTS of it all.
Hurrah! It's about time somebody exposed this hoax for the political power-play that it really is. Dr Wynne Armand, Harvard Med School admitted in Sept 2022 that 'observational studies can’t prove that cooking with gas is the direct cause of asthma'
Gas stove manufacturers and oil & gas companies value their profits *far* more than they value human life
Denver libs want to pay Xcel 700 dollars a month so bad
The people that profit from gas have a problem with reducing profits in the name of public health.. You don't say
Predictable. How about admitting the science is true while helping industry make the products even safer?
