That's disappointing about the number of entertainment shows mentioning climate change. For all of Hollywood's posturing about helping the planet, you'd think they'd incorporate it more into their products.

Well said! If we want solid climate journalism then people need to support and demand it! Unfortunately, many people aren't interested, but part of that is the dearth of coverage - it's a catch-22.

Also, coverage of the biodiversity crisis is even less than climate change, even though experts agree it's just as great a threat to humans as climate change. One study counted eight climate change news stories for every one on biodiversity! We need good coverage of both (plus pollution, etc...).

I’d like to comment about induction stoves. I think that’s one climate friendly appliance that even climate deniers should love just because they are better than either gas or electric stoves. I have one and it’s very fast and precise when heating up and cools down nearly instantly when turned down. They say a watched pot never boils. Well, that isn’t true with an induction stove. I can put a little water on to cook some frozen vegetables and before I that the vegetables out of the freeze and open the bag the water can be boiling. Only the bottom of the pan gets hot so spills can be cleaned very quickly and the kitchen doesn’t get hot from excess heat in the summer. The only negative is the pots and pans need to be made of magnetic metal. Reasonably priced magnetic pots and pans are readily available on Amazon and other stores. My induction stove has saved me a lot of time and helped me cook great food.
