Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Have you ever cooked on induction? It sucks.
And if your pans aren't iron... It simply doesn't work.
Sounds like a skill issue, try improving
Wrong and also how cares
I have only induction stoves for 15 years now and the only thing that "sucks" is a) old electric that just required time to get used to b) touch control panel instead of buttons/knobs
Who wrote this? Big aluminum? So many pans work on induction. We upgraded 3 years ago and will never go back, it's better in every way.
I have, for 10+ years.
And I’ll take it over gas ANY day of the week
Ferromagnetic. Not necessarily iron. Plenty of alloys and even enameled pots work just fine.
If a magnet sticks, it'll heat up.
I only cook on induction, its great, my pans are both cast iron.
How does it suck? I’ve lived in several places with induction stoves, and have found them to be as responsive as gas if not more so. Are you perchance mistaking old-fashioned electrical hobs (the ones with the solid metal coil that eventually glows red) for induction?
Probably. Because for oldschool electric stove - you have to really know your stivwe and still risk burning everything. With induction, I know that I usually fry on 6.5, and if I want iolent crispy frying, it's 7.5-8 for a minute. That's all the knowledge I need. And also I can boil water faster than with an electric kettle - 40 seconds and I can throw pasta in
And that fast boiling also means must less wasted energy. Less heat transfer to the room, requiring your home cooling system to work more to cool it back down. Overall much more efficient across the board.
Even if what you were saying is true you know that induction isn’t the only kind of electric range right? Sealed radiant cooktops are also more efficient and healthier than gas ranges and usually cheaper too.
