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.

That sucks but I just got an induction and it is by far the best stove I've ever had. I can't believe people like gas to it's such garbage

Even a crappy Gas range is infinitely better than the shitty electric coil ranges. And that's what 99.9% of people have to compare. Most people have never used an induction range before.

I grew up cooking on an electric coil and recently now have access to a gas stove, and overall I find the gas stove has more downsides compared to the old electric coil. Technology Connections did a good video on the advantages of resistive coil stoves as well.

Yeah, my partner's mother has a professional grade gas range/ovens in her home kitchen, so he was wanting gas until I introduced him to induction. Now he's turned into an induction evangelist, haha.

I found out about induction because I got a soup pot back in the early 2000s that was marked on the bottom as induction capable, so I looked up wtf that meant, and wanted one ever since. My induction range came with a convection oven, which I've also wanted for forever, and that has an air fryer mode.

I only give it an 8/10 tho because it has touch buttons instead of knobs, so it doesn't always recognize my finger, but a drip of sauce will sometimes trigger it. Next time I'll find one with knobs.

Mine also has the convection oven with air fryer mode but I don't think it works all that great. That or air fryers aren't that great. I dunno, it's my only experience with air fryers

Oh, dang. This is also my only experience with air fryers, but mine works great. Never had crispier potatoes come out of my oven before.

I would still rather have a shitty coil one than use gas. Maybe if we had some regulations that required proper ventilation with gas stoves I'd feel better but that only seems to be the case in smart states like California
