    And people in north America dismiss this as propaganda and fake news. I like they added the cigarette connection because we are at that stage where no one thinks it’s a issue as they grew up with these stoves in their home.

      North America isn’t a monolith. My (very large metro California) county has already passed legislation phasing out all natural gas in new construction, and will gradually start prohibiting sale of gas water heaters and furnaces over the next few years.

      Well much of NA is conditioned by religion to accept comfortable lies over uncomfortable truths.

      Forcing them to reflect on any deviations could result in them “feeling bad” about themselves, and that cannot be tolerated.
