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: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked. (www.climatecoloredgoggles.com)

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?

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.
