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.

I just got an induction cook top and it’s amazing. WAY more efficient than alternatives, better indoor air quality as compared to gas. One problem: can’t cook if the power is out. Good ideas all around.
Some gas stoves require electricity to continue operating due to electric safety sensors that shut the stove gas off if the flame goes out. They too would be useless in a power outage because the valves would not open. So it’s not just electric stoves that would be out of luck.
If you have room to store one, a used camp stove and gas cylinder are fine for basics. No need to buy a fancy new one. Or even a gas bbq grill.
Don't forget about the electric ventilation being out if theres a power outage. You don't want to cook with a gas stove indoors with that off.
Regulations in my country require that the ventilation doesn't rely on any device, it must be some hatch you can't close. I'm pretty sure it's the same elsewhere in the world, it's too dangerous otherwise.
I mean sure... but without the fan it's not going to work nearly as well.
It doesn't even work WITH the fan as we're now finding out it's still creating toxic air in homes.
How often does your power go out that this is a major concern?
For me, enough for it to be a problem.
You'd be looking at another 2-3k but you could get battery that can support that (and other things in an outage)
That starts you down the rabbit hole of okay well what about solar panels to charge it in an extended outage...
Also not practical for so many people.
Really a microwave or single plate induction would be better for outage and cheaper battery.
