fossil gas fgas
fossil gas, fgas is destroying the atmosphere.
fgas hello _
the primary component of fossil gas fgas aka "natural gas" is methane CH4 and as a superpotent greenhouse gas its presence in the atmosphere affects Earth's temperature and climate system. The fossil gas is extracted, stored, transported and then distributed to commercial and residential facilities. It would be natural to keep it in the ground.
"clean natural gas" ?!
fossil gas is marketed as "clean natural gas" and the propaganda on this is incredible. Gas stoves, gas heaters. City buses on CNG are producing methane emissions. And btw, a city bus weighs 12 tons (US ton is 2000 lbs), and with people onboard it weighs 30,000 pounds.
fossil gas takes alot of energy to extract and distribute, is difficult to contain and leaks into the atmosphere, and is a leading source of carbon emissions when burned as fuel. Scientists have reported that methane emissions from the oil and gas industry are far worse than previously thought.

worldwide air pollution from burning natural gas is causing lung disease, heart disease, and death.
gas flaring
gas flaring is burning off the gas which comes out of the ground while drilling for oil. The process of gas flaring is condemned as a danger to the environment and human health, as well as a waste of fuel.
ever wonder why they flare the gas rather than capture it? Flaring is an unproductive waste of a resource. It is a way to save money and just burn the gas where they do not have a pipeline to capture it.
what a waste

fracking hello _
fracking is a method of underground fossil gas extraction. This is energy intensive and massively destructive to the environment. Fracking pumps toxic methane directly into the air through the venting process. This is big waste of energy, but very profitable for the oil and gas companies.

gas stoves
gas stoves produce toxic methane emissions around the world. Gas stoves pollute indoor air, and add ghg to the atmosphere causing global warming and the climate crisis.
the burners on gas stoves release pollutants including nitrogen dioxide, a key element in smog that can irritate airways and may contribute to the development of asthma, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Researchers at Stanford University recently found that cooking with gas and propane stoves may be contributing to the deaths of approximately 19,000 adults in the United States annually, as well as around 200,000 current cases of childhood asthma. Stanford University researchers have also found that gas stoves can emit benzene, which is linked to cancer.

induction cooking
induction cooking is safe, quick and efficient.
induction cooking is a method of cooking that uses a copper coil underneath the cooking surface to generate electromagnetic energy. This energy transfers directly to the cookware to make it hot enough to cook food.
