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.
Seems like a similar strategy as the EU's energy standards, though probably behind in terms of net efficiency.
The main issue with gas stoves is that they're used to sell gas furnaces. We need stop building new gas-fueled homes before we start sunsetting gas stoves. Also the fact that induction stoves are so expensive in the US is a serious issue that needs to be solved first.
lol, they'll talk about anything except a carbon tax
The current congress has one house run by Republicans, so they can't pass a carbon tax. So they're working the regulatory system instead.
Why do you think republicans would work with democrats to limit/regulate natural gas appliances?
I don't. Congress already granted the President authority to issue efficiency regulations like this one, so they can't stop it.
Sounds like my man JB is looking for votes. Hopefully he gets them or the next guy will gut these regs
