And what, exactly, are they going to replace it with? Or are they just going to let them starve?
I read recently that a third world country, I can’t remember which, suddenly forbade using peat for fires, which made it impossible for people to cook because that’s all they had.
Thinning of the sheep on a global scale.

Yes, soon enough they’ll be going after the Nepali Sherpas who burn tons of yak dung for heat.
Because as we all know the smoke from burning yak dung is not “natural”.

It’s not so improbable. In San Francisco they have all but banned woodstoves (as discussed here on FR a few months ago) and indeed SFO has an enforcement body which pounds the pavement looking for telltale wisps of woodsmoke emanating from residential chimneys!
(by the way it takes weeks for the yak dung odor to leave your sensory system)
