Copying someone's comment on WSJ:
"Cooking with nat gas is ~ 3% of gas use which is about 0.001% of US fossil fuel use which is about 0.001% of global fossil fuel emissions. Banning gas cooking is farcical virtue signaling if you truly want to decrease CO2 emissions."
- sixo 5y agoThat sounds wrong. Quickly googling, https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/ https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/ says the US is around 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/energy-and-the-environment/where-greenhouse-gases-come-from.php https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/energy-and-the-environme... says gas is around 44% of U.S emissions. so that random WSJ comment is pretty hard to believe.
