You want to stop indigenous peoples burning wood for heat and cooking?

Yes actually, because turns out it does have a large impact on emissions https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590332221002967

The carbon footprint of the average person in Sub-Saharan Africa is nothing close to yours or mine. The idea that that article recommends eliminating wood-burning entirely is … not born-out in its text.

What do you think the biomass in “Efficient Biomass Cooking” is? Its wood. The carbon footprint of the transportation of any other fuel to these people alone would more than offset any criteria by which wood-burning falls short, until we can electrify the entire world, and/or get everyone using solar ovens for cooking.
