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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Just a shame how expensive they are. Copper stoves (the ones that won the contract in the article) start at $5,999. They're a small start-up without economy of scale on their side, but that still just seems wildly overpriced for an induction stove with a lithium battery stuck inside.
To put that price in perspective, an electric convection toaster oven that can handle most oven needs can be had for $150 to $250, and a high quality countertop induction cooktop can be had for $116 (or less used), both of which run on standard 120v outlets.
Standard 240v induction ~~ovens~~ stove start at around $850.
Induction oven? How does that work? Is it better than a classic electric oven, does it 'just' heat up faster?
Sorry, I guess I meant stove, not oven. I tend to conflate to the two. I think all induction stoves have standard heating element ovens.
Ah that makes more sense ๐ cheers and a happy new year!
Still probably cheaper than retrofitting a building with gas pipes ๐คทโโ๏ธ
For a larger building, that definitely could be the case.
