Pizza is best baked in a wood fire oven. At home, our HVAC, washer/dryer and water heater are heat pumps. Next up, dumping the gas stove and oven and switching over to an induction stove top and speed oven. Bye-bye gas.

We’ve had an induction cooktop for about a year now and love it. That old adage that a watched pot never boils went right in the trash alongside the old stove. Put a pot of cold water on and turn it all the way up and you’ve got boiling water in about a minute or two.

Holy shit, that fast? Really?

I might have to look into getting one soon.

Yeah, it really surprised us how quickly it will heat up.

A microwave/mini oven combo (or at least ours is). Despite the name, it actually takes quite a while to preheat.

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.
