List:
1. The second bullet in the right column leads one to this youtube, with
Hillary Clinton talking for about 10 minutes on clean cookstoves as she accepts
heading a new stove advisory group:

2. A new data point for me is her saying that stove-caused deaths have been
recently moved up from 2 million per year to 4 million. I believe Kirk Smith
had moved the number up to 2 million from 1 million only this year.
3. She also mentioned a new $4 million for stove manufacturers.
4. As the head of the UN Foundation mentioned, I can't think of anyone in the
world better able to put emphasis on the importance of stoves. I though Julia
Roberts was a real bonus, but this announcement seems an order of magnitude
bigger.
