Scientists Say Cut Soot, Methane to Curb Warming - ABC News

Let's do this. Have you ever heard of a solar stove? It's a small, sun-driven metal or foil lined contraption, some with a glass lens, that can cleanly cook or boil water just from the sun's rays.
It can help replace the burning of scarce firewood, coal, and dung -- which as heating sources all also pollute rather badly. Many organizations are trying to distribute these. Take note, and help when you can.

"...Methane comes from landfills, farms, drilling for natural gas, and coal mining. Soot, called black carbon by scientists, is a byproduct of burning and is a big problem with cook stoves using wood, dung and coal in developing countries and in some diesel fuels worldwide..."

"...All 14 methods — capturing methane from landfills and coal mines, cleaning up cook stoves and diesel engines, and changing agriculture techniques for rice paddies and manure collection — are being used efficiently in many places, but aren't universally adopted, said the study's lead author, Drew Shindell of NASA..."
