    So, is everything that comes out of this woman’s mouth bullshit? Even the examples of climate change policies that she gives are wrong. We aren’t banning new gas stoves due to climate change. We’re banning them due to indoor air quality issues and increased incidence of respiratory disease.

      No, we’re not banning gas stoves, full stop. (In the US at least)

      Literally the only story there was that a scientific study was published that suggests having a gas stove/oven can lead to an increase in asthma for children.

      That alone was enough to set them off. Simply being told that we found something new out, and here it is in case you want to consider the pros and cons of having your kids around gas stoves.

      They are literally triggered by the scientific method itself.

          Cool, states rights. “Laboratories of democracy.”

          Or is that only when they’re banning abortion or rolling back child labor laws?

            I mean, I love a gas stove (wish my apartment had one) but we are probably moving slowly towards a world where municipal gas is just not nearly as much of a thing. But nobody is ever going to stop you from setting up a propane or butane range in your house.

              I will get a tank if I have to. No way I and my family are freezing to death when the power goes out. Besides it is harder to bake with electric.

      Even then I thought it wasn’t really banning of gas stoves, just updating/tightening regulations and all that jazz so they wouldn’t be leaking the fumes.
