Normally, I agree with these columns, but this is sort of a cheap shot. A gas fireplace puts almost everything up the chimney and like all open fireplaces is terribly inefficient. The Franklin stove, of course, is much more efficient, but does not provide the cherry flame before all the heat goes up the chimney. Obviously, the gas log fireplace has beeninstalled many years ago before the recent brouhaha about gas stoves. This one example hardly defines the entire climate agenda as bogus, although I think it really is. It’s just that this example is not a particularly good argument for the bogus label.
