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

Not really. The problem isn't that gas is somehow unreliable, it's actually that gas doesn't scale at all. It's a massive expensive infrastructure change and it's not flexible - you need gas. Electrical stoves can be powered by solar, wind, propane, etc; gas only works on gas.
