If you have any doubts about why a gas stove, independent of any other emissions, would be dangerous, put a CO2 monitor in the same room as an operating stove.

@mttaggart I personally have a electric stove so I don't know about this. But other than CO2 is there any other gas emitted? And in which ways exactly is CO2 bad? I always thought that CO2 was only dangerous because it displaced normal breathable air, but realistically that only happens at dangerous levels in extreme situations like the house burning down. Am I missing something? Genuinely curious
@mttaggart Thanks, I didn't know that
@doggel The expulsion rate without adequate ventilation is the issue. Imagine a fireplace with no chimney. Yes the gas burns smokeless, but a long cooking period will still fill the space with quite a lot of CO2, and it's easy to reach dangerous levels in poorly ventilated spaces.
