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.

AFIAK they also work with cast iron cookware.
Any ferrous metal. Right? So anything except stainless steel. I'm guessing you probably want something fairly thick too.
Yes, very thick otherwise you get a burn spot everytime around the middle.
Also, my stainless pan works fine on my induction stove.
Does it have a fused base of other metals?
That may be it, I'm not sure I bought it at a thrift store.
Yes, aluminium "Sleek Seamless Impact Bonded Sandwich Base with Aluminium Core"

Stainless often works too IME.
Enamel and aluminum are the only ones I’ve had issues with, personally.
What they do now is "sanwchich" with a disc of induction-compatible metal inserted in the bottom of the cookware.
Allows compatibility (and better heat spread I think)
From experience, they work as long as a magnet can stick to it, so yes flany ferrous metal should work.
Induction is the best cooking method to me. Faster and safer than electric and gas, (much) easier to control than electric...
Ah and so much easier to clean than gas!
Only gas advantage I could see is maybe heat "fine tuning". And even this probably depend on the system (the one I used had roughly 6 heating level, but there is system with more). And is not very important except if you're a high level chef.
