"Until someone does that, all this freakoutery about gas stoves can and should be completely ignored."

...Except it can't be ignored, because the enstupidiated in Congress are going to make law based upon flawed data. For the children, of course.

Oh, and the obvious unspoken part: the study was pushed by green energy electric stove advocates.

"A recent study that linked gas-burning stoves to childhood asthma cases was backed by two nonprofits that are pushing for Americans to adopt electric stoves.

The study, which states that the stoves account for about 12.7% of childhood asthma cases in the U.S., was partly funded by RMI, a group that seeks to “accelerate the clean energy transition,” and co-authored by Brady Seals, the manager of RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings arm that aims to retrofit buildings with electric appliances. The study was also co-authored by Rewiring America (RA) Research Associate Talor Gruenwald, who previously worked on RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings team; RA is a nonprofit that is “focused on electrifying everything” in communities across America, accordingto its website.

The authors of the study declared that there were no conflicts of interest associated with their research.

RMI, which used the study to promote stove electrification, has received millions in donations from Breakthrough Energy, a green energy investment firm founded by Bill Gates, as well as the Bezos Earth Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies, according to the RMI 2022 donors report."

SSDD, same old One World elitist socialists, still trying to destroy our world to build their own micro-utopia on your suffering.
