This video popped to my mind after one second of reading the title. Channels like Climate Town and NotJustBikes has done an invaluable service to society in exposing corporate propaganda.
Mainly that they adopt popular writing and editing conventions and do them well, so that they’re genuinely captivating in addition to being educational, thus making the info more accessible

I heard that denaturing proteins with heat also produces carcinogens!
Its almost like we can work to eliminate carcinogens from old stove designs while still letting you enjoy your burnt steak.
That’s a filthy communist lie, they’re trying to take our cheeseburgers away!
I have a gas stove and it was the only thing that we had as a heat source during the 2021 Texas freeze and our power would be out for long stretches at a time (days).
We would purposefully limit its use for that, but goddamn we had on layers and were under blankets and goddamn it was cold. Fucking snowing outside. No water either. Then a boil water advisory so more stove use. Not a fun time, would not recommend.
Have you tried not living in a 3rd world country?
I would be happy to leave if it was 100% up to me, if that’s what you’re asking.
Not really, I don’t even know why I felt like teasing a random Texan. You sound nice, you should move to Oz.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But I was surprised to learn that the multipronged strategy related to gas stoves directly mirrored tactics that the tobacco industry used to undermine and distort scientific evidence of health risks associated with smoking starting in the 1950s.
This campaign was remarkable, since the basics of how gas stoves affected indoor air pollution and respiratory health were straightforward and well-established at the time.
Industry-funded studies successfully muddied the waters, as I have seen over the course of my research career, and stalled further federal investigations or regulations addressing gas stove safety.

Residential gas use is also controversial today because it slows the ongoing shift toward renewable energy, at a time when the impacts of climate change are becoming alarmingly clear.
In my view, exposing the tactics that vested interests use to manipulate the public can make consumers and regulators savvier and help deter other industries from using their playbook.

Gas stoves heat things faster and hotter, I’m fine with a slight trade off for those features.
Induction stoves are well ahead of gas. Your views are more than a decade out of date.
