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.

So the truth is, it's not even a gas range you care about. It's a completely different specialty appliance. Which kind of goes back to my point that electric ranges are flat better than gas ranges -- you, a self-avowed gas-lover, still needed to design a custom appliance to cook the way you wanted to because your gas range couldn't do it.

And that's the short of it. Electric ranges are hugely easier to clean, have better temperature stability, heat pans hotter and do it faster, and don't heat the room or fuck with air quality. And that's not even getting into the unequivocal superiority of electric ovens over gas ones.

Still, you should try an induction wok hob if you get the chance. Sounds a lot safer than your solution.

I don’t have a gas stove friend, I rent.

I had no option but to rig one up. lol

I still disagree with you about gas stoves, I much prefer them and their instant response.

I might just not have had a good electric range yet.

I do have an induction hot plate though and it is infinitely better than my 220v stove, other than needing special pans.

At the end of the day, what I care about most is not telling people what they have to do though.

Edit: there to their
