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've had great success using fairly thick heavy pots for sauces.. Though maybe I have a stove with a shorter pulse interval than yours

I’ve just got an induction hot plate which has a 1 Hz pulse width modulation. (Yes, you read that right.)

I love it for large pots of stock or getting a pan superheated for searing but anything low and slow is going to get ruined.

So while I’m not opposed to induction - though I’d need to rewire my house for it - I’m not going to buy one without a test drive.

(Though I wonder if I could mitigate this with a thick slab of steel as a thermal regulator.)

"Can I have the technical specifications for my, uh, stove?" Not a legitimate question i was expecting...
