    That’s probably true in the UK too for gas fireplaces. What do people use for hobs mostly? I would have guessed that at least 10 years or so ago that would almost always be a gas stove in SE USA, but that’s coming from complete ignorance.

      I’m in my mid 30s. Nothing has changed here in that time. SE USA just does not have gas infrastructure.

      Also, I’ve never heard the word “hob” in my life. A quick Google seems to show that is what we call a “stove top” or a “stove burner” or “stove eye.”

      Growing up, every stove I saw had these:

      You still see those, but these days this type is more common:

        Cool, that’s so interesting how different placescan be! Thanks for zharing. In my mid 30s too but my experience in the UK is the opposite, that last one you shared (we call induction hobs) is common now, but gas cookers have been considered the standard, plus like 95%+ of all houses are heated by gas boilers.

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.
