Study: Gas Stoves Worse For Climate Than Previously Thought

A Stanford University study reveals that gas stoves emit methane even when off, equating to emissions from half a million cars. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, significantly impacting climate change. The study also highlights health risks from nitrogen dioxide emissions, which can cause respiratory issues, especially in children. Eric LaBelle, the study's lead author, discusses these findings and suggests that banning gas stoves in new constructions could benefit both the environment and public health.
