There could come a point, maybe, where nearly all folks start to believe our climate is warming.  Some still will think it's natural of course.  The thing is, to me, this reported 1.4°C (2.5°F) mean rise in temperatures over the past century is not readily noticeable in casual observation.  I asked this question before, and most of us here do think it's a bit warmed now than when we were kids.

But of course it still gets cold in winter in most places, and it still snows at times.  We had heat waves and droughts and storms in the past, the 1930s apparently.

But if we stipulate this is caused by human activity, and we end up with 90% believing the general model, it will be way too late to act seriously.

It already is in my view.

Induction ovens with big batteries solve lots of problems | Electrek

Induction stoves are a great, safe way to save on electricity costs and can heat much quicker, safer, and more accurately than natural gas or propane stoves. But a new breed of these stoves includes huge batteries, which opens up new opportunities by only requiring a 120V outlet, offering 40-sec water boiling, backup power to other appliances like the refrigerator, and even IRA tax rebates. Let’s take a look at two of these new models and try to understand if it makes sense for an oven to have a huge battery over a more centralized Powerwall type of home backup battery.

I like our induction OK, but I really miss my Wolf.



And the Sub Zero too.

Be my guest. While you're, sue the CTU for ruining the City.

If I had a gas stove, I'd pay to get induction.  I don't like the battery idea though.

Nothing beats a high end gas stove.

Never seen an electric stove in a restaurant. Ever.

It’s a slow evolution.  My son in law loves induction also.  He’s a CIA grad.

Another new study warned that as temperatures continue to rise, Arctic Ocean sea ice is melting at an even faster pace than previously thought and the region could experience its first ice-free conditions sometime before the 2030s.

One of these days, Alice, one of these days.

Opinion: I’m a climate scientist. If you knew what I know, you’d be terrified too | CNN

Not much here beyond the scare part, in my view.  Some realism would help, I think, instead of constant scare opinion pieces.

And maybe the outline of some PLAN.

my plan is to evolve with change, cause change is coming, we're not working hard enough to stop it.

I don't live on the ocean, if it gets 10 degrees warmer here, even in July & August, I'll be OK.
