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.

I worked in a restaurant, loved the responsiveness of gas, and was dead set on replacing the old coil stove in my house with gas. But after some research, I took the leap on induction and was blown away.

A full kettle starts boiling in like two minutes tops. No residual heat sweating up the kitchen. I can even shut the element off right before taking the lid off the pot and I don't get blasted with steam. It's more responsive than gas, more consistent, and I don't need crazy ventilation. And cleanup is as simple as it could possibly be, I can even just lift up the pan and give a quick wipe during cooking because the cooking surface itself doesn't actually get hot (except from the heat of the pan, but that's negligible for a quick wipe).

I think the only reason your SIL insists on gas is because she's never actually used induction, or maybe she's just a weird luddite. As a long time gas-supremacist, induction is just better all around.

Working in a very tiny restaurant, using an induction plate is what convinced me it's better than gas AND regular electric.
