Well, one could argue that cold continues to kill more people each year than heat does.

It's not exactly a winning argument in favor of climate change, but just because a person is holding the correct view on one thing does not mean that they will be correct on others.

Natural gas cooktops contribute a meaningless amount of CO2 in the grand scheme of things. When everyone is suffering the effects of global warming, they're going to feel silly for all the sacrifices they made along the way while the major sources of greenhouse gasses weren't addressed.

You do know climate change is making some cold places even colder and increasing the severity of winter storms. Your comment only further strengthens the climate change argument.

I didn't read it as political balance, though it's possible they meant it that way. But before I saw your comment I read it as a balance with the other side being "fossil fuels are pretty damn convenient." Like for cooking & heating. No use trying to ignore that, I mean it's not like people burn them to punish themselves. It's a trade-off. And since you said "Portland" my confidence drops from 92% (nationwide average) to 86%, i.e. still pretty confident, that you own a car, so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Way more people die of cold each year it’s not even funny.

Huge wildfires are caused by preventing regular small fires until there is way to much material and the condition are perfect: heat, wind, dry. Then you get a massive fire that can’t be stopped.

Effectively the law of nature don’t care about what we think.

At the moment we are caught in a new religion of climate change. But more and more people are waking up.

Just the way you respond piling up argument show how it’s a religious battle for who is holly.

Stop using coal as soon as possible, transition to solar, EVs, good idea. The rest is not as high priority.
