    Right. Here in California PG&E is ripping us off for electricity more and more every year. I am absolutely not going to trap myself into using only electricity, trapping me in their monopoly.

      PG&E supplies both the gas and the electricity.

      California has expensive electricity because of a deal made decades ago to ensure utility profits stayed high as state-level efficiency mandates kicked in. I expect that deal to be revisited as we shift towards full electrification of space heating.

        I have tanks filled with kerosene and propane for my gas appliances. But for a lot of CA you’re right.

          Yeah, some parts of southern California are like that; the rest of the state is all PG&E for both except a few municipal utilities

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

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
