OP is a story about UK publications, but I've also seen a rash of US-based stories that have a "generated from outrage-tuned talking points" quality. They accompany a parallel faux narrative about gas stoves.
It's frustrating to see cheap PR tactics used against new technologies that are part of the solution to both burning fossil fuels, and indoor air quality.
- MostlyStable 3y agoIt's hard to tell but, you seem to be implying that you think pro-gas stove talking points seem to be fake. To be perfectly honest _both_ sides of that argument seem to be "generated from outrage-tuned talking points". The loudest people from both perspectives are obnoxious and full of it and the whole thing seems to be a stupid waste of attention.
- mturmon 3y agoI'd say that many of the pro-gas-stove talking points seem exaggerated (i.e., some pro-gas points are true in some senses, but induction stoves do exist and address essentially all of these concerns -- that's the "novel technology" I mentioned). And more so, the pro-gas side seems to be funded and organized in a coordinated way. Yes, it's generally a waste of attention.
