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

What's so hard about 240v since it takes a thinner wire compared to 110v?

Still sounds easier than fixing old gas plumbing, and again, the current is lower so the wires are not thicker they're thinner.

And I'm certainly not keen on running a big battery that will be next to heat and needs replacement approved by landlord every 3-5 years, plus having to own expensive pans.

What do I know, I never owned electric stove and I don't want one.
