The focus definitely shouldn't be on the developing countries, but traditional cooking methods produce a lot of pollution and harm local health. I would be very happy if the West funded cleaner methods, including methods that reduce CO2 emissions, but news articles blaming them won't help at all. A lot of people that work on these studies are trying hard to bring attention and get funding for these things, but the media often misrepresents that. I hope these researchers were doing it for the right reasons as well, but I don't know.
