Modern induction provides a superior cooking experience to gas.

The metal of the cookware is heated directly via the energy field.

Yes there are many risks in modern life, some are longer term and less directly linked. Gas stoves are directly linked to health outcomes and switching away can result in immediate personal benefit.

Switching requires money. I hate when people say these things as if renovating is free.

Most forms of cooking other then perhaps boiling in general release needless emissions.

The first step is governments banning gas for new builds like NYC has. And then offering interest free loans or other incentives to get rid of existing connections.

I wouldn't count on NYC government choices being popular all over the USA...

As someone who has lived in middle America and NYC, so much yes. Many in both are just as sure that their way is the superior one.

Sorry, but induction does not replace an open fire for much of the cooking that I do. I'm no luddite, we have an electric car, and ride bicycles most of the time instead.

This is all a big PR ploy to deflect blame from industry. Concrete, anyone?

no it doesn't. See it's just opinion, man. It's hard to deny they're better for the environment but for a lot of us we just enjoy gas and the experience of cooking with it.
