"If [...] each household used its grill for an hour on the 4th of July, then we’d get a calculation like this:

"(56.425M gas grills*5.6 pounds of CO2) + (38.85M charcoal grills*11 pounds CO2) + (9.25M electric grills*15 pounds CO2 ) = 882 million pounds of CO2

"That’s roughly as many emissions as burning 2145 railcars of coal, or running one coal-fired power plant for a month."

Are you seeing the below everywhere? What books/shows have you seen that do this?

"Once I noticed it, I started seeing it everywhere. Novelists in my 2022 reading list kept experimenting with a similar structure: braiding together three or more narratives, flipping between characters from long ago, from a contemporary setting, and from far into the future."
