I love this summary. Exciting stuff happening and I love to see it.
Nice summary!
Thank you! This one is a bit late (I’ll start working on the next one in a few days already).
If a gas stove is like 2nd hand smoking… what about gas grills(outdoors)?
Better to look at the sources for the short-items. BBQ also isn’t healthy, but presumably you aren’t doing that as often as using a gas stove and aren’t standing right next to it all the time. There some studies on that too, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b01494 Here’s a study I once included about wood-burning which can be a significant cancer hazard in winter days in some regions: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/17/wood-burners-urban-air-pollution-cancer-risk-study https://doi.org/10.5194%2Facp-21-17865-2021
Y’know, if BBQ is what ends up killing me, I’d consider that a good death.
An honorable death. Has me thinking you die and you’re hanging out with other dead people in wherever people go when you die. You ask how everyone dies and the first guy goes “I got hit by a bus”, second guy goes “I was shot in an armed robbery”, and you go “I died inhaling bbq smoke”. You know those other two dudes gotta be pissed.
It’d be interesting/slightly frightening to see the impacts of natural gas burning for heat in this same vein, as it’s the primary heating method for houses in the very cold Canadian prairies.
Ahhh so that’s how that reads. I definitely wasn’t picturing gas stoves huddled around smokers, huffing benzene and taking deep breaths of 2nd hand smoke.
The first one really strikes me as interesting. Here’s the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10288543/
“The “global human day” framework enables better research of the global human system”
Really is an interesting way to look at things. If you look at humans as an ‘organism’, it could be trivial to make massive shifts in output with relatively small changes in behavior. How to go about that might be unknown, but it doesn’t have to happen all at once or in one place. The fact that taking literally an extra minute of the day to deal with waste would double the amount of time we currently spend on it (at least roughly), shows what a huge impact just looking at this data in this way could have.
Yay, Lemmy is mentioned!
