Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

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.

Also some newer ones have temp sensors so you can keep a thing at the exact temp you need.

I saw one with magnetic removable knobs to make cleaning easier.

Also the outlet bits make installs drop-in for anyone, no electrician needed.

I swear by induction cooking (for both soapmaking and food) for this reason - precise temperature control, even low temperatures that aren't even possible to get on a gas stove.

  • Setting the heater to exactly 40C means you can melt chocolate reliably, without the hassle of a bain marie
  • At 60C you can combine cetostearyl alcohol and vegetable oil for moisturizer without boiling off your glycerine
  • At 80C you can cook soap to trace without overcooking it and making it lumpy
  • At 100C you can evaporate moisture and reduce a sauce with minimal effect on other ingredients
  • At 100-160C you can cook a sugar syrup to a precisely desired level of concentration (as the boiling point goes up as the concentration increases) for making different types of candy
