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.

The only thing I hate about electric stoves is how they look.

I like induction stoves because they stick up, and I can see if it's on from a distance because of the fire. And there less likely I would lay my hand near it.

Electric stoves (the ones that I have and they sell everywhere) are all flat. They're flat like my table, and it's easy to just lay my hand near it.

And if I'm moving between stove, to cutting area, back to stove, I have to mentally remind myself which burners are on because it's not easy to see without looking directly at it.

I don't think an induction stove is what you think it is...
