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.

Yes indeed, but the wok stays hot and continues cooking after you lift it. With thin woks that's not an issue, they have barely any thermal inertia. With thick ones though that's not the same story, food is going to continue cooking for 15 to 30 seconds after you turn off the heat. With my style of cooking that's not desirable.
But maybe my 1mm thick wok would work on induction? Everywhere I read it works better with thick pans, but does this means it doesn't work at all with a thin one, or it's just a bit less efficient?
I don’t have the answer to that. I don’t recall how thick the induction woks were at the cafeteria but I recall how clean they were (not seasoned), which implies they were perhaps stainless steel. I have a thin curved stainless steel wok that I use on a flame. It’s non-magnetic but would still theoretically work on an induction surface. I chose stainless so that I could put it in the dishwasher, but IIUC what I give up is that stainless steel does not get as screaming hot as a carbon steel wok. I cannot boil water in it unless I cover it. Not sure if that info helps you but I don’t have direct experience with induction so no idea if a thin carbon steel wok would have issues on induction as a consequence of less material.
