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.

They probably had glass-ceramic. A lot of people confuse those for induction, since they basically look the same when it's off: a black glass plate.

When it's on, the glass-ceramic lights up and becomes red or purple, while induction stays black.

Induction is faster than gas. I have never met anyone who prefers gas to induction after using induction for a while.

Buying an induction cooker has made cooking in apartments with shitty coils so much better, I don't even want gas in the future anymore. We're considering getting a cover for the range and just buying 2 more induction tops
