You know.

Ol' Clifton Chenier has been gone a long time but his son CJ is still playing. I saw him several times at JazzFest.

Cool. I haven't heard any of his music but he sure has a fine legacy. I'll have to check him out. Thanks.

Study: Gas stoves worse for climate than previously thought

Gas stoves are contributing more to global warming than previously thought because of constant tiny methane leaks while they’re off, a new study found.

The same study that tested emissions around stoves in homes raised new concerns about indoor air quality and health because of levels of nitrogen oxides measured.

Even when they are not running, U.S. gas stoves are putting 2.6 million tons (2.4 million metric tons) of methane — in carbon dioxide equivalent units — into the air each year, a team of California researchers found in a study published in Thursday’s journal Environmental Science & Technology. That’s equivalent to the annual amount of greenhouse gases from 500,000 cars or what the United States puts into the air every three-and-a-half hours.

“They’re constantly bleeding a little bit of methane into the atmosphere all the time,” said the study's co-author Rob Jackson, a Stanford University climate scientist.

That methane is on top of the 6.8 million tons (6.2 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide that gas stoves emit into the air when they are in use and the gas is burned, the study said. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is dozens of times more potent than carbon dioxide but doesn’t stay in the atmosphere nearly as long and isn’t as plentiful in the air....

We don't have gas lines here, but I might have chosen a gas stove if it was an option. Whew.

I'm pretty sure the late great Muttley O Really contributed more methane to the atmosphere than any turned off gas stove.

Vid is totally cool, Ulysses - thanks. You don't find many clip of Clifton live. He's been dead since '87 or so. I got a laugh from the host say what "negroes" had been doing in music. And I guess nobody told him how to pronounce Chen-yays name. It was good to hear him play live.

Awww. , Useless.

Why is Vrede such a waste of space?

Why is Useless so obsessed that he whines like a toddler about me in each and every post?

Point proven, except that the new signature = Vrede too victory.

Well, "Chenier" is of French origin, so I would likely pronounce it "Shen-ee-air". Close enough for gubmint work.

i wasn't in Berkeley for that '66 concert. I got there in '72. But I seem to remember attending sessions of the SF Folk Music Club in the late 60's, where suddenly accordions became quite popular. I wonder if there was a Berkeley-Chenier effect going on there.

French origin, yes, but Cajun french is not the same as Parisian french. He pronounced it (and his son pronounces it) Chen-yay. Cliff-tone Chen-yay.

Creoles of color—French-speaking Afro-Catholics from south Louisiana and east Texas—and, to a lesser extent Cajuns, migrated westward by the hundreds in search of work beginning around World War II. These transplants helped root aspects of their Gulf Coast heritage in and around San Francisco Bay. In this milieu, individuals like “Queen Ida” Guillory and Danny Poullard emerged as stalwarts of Louisiana French culture in dance clubs and jam sessions that grew exponentially in proportion to the influx of Louisiana expatriates.

Migration continued into the 60's and by the late 80's there were quite a few cajun culture locations, along with quite a few restaurants and clubs. They're largely still there - and wouldn't be hard to find if you wanted to go. Like Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen in Berkeley.

Zachary Richard wrote a song generally describing the trip:

Good song.

[Ulysses]

I'll look for Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen then next time I'm in Berkeley. It may not have been there when lived there in the 70's-80's. Just checked: it started in 2006. So that explains it.

I hate how everything is wrapped in so much plastic. Such a waste.

For some reason I find I don't eat much pork. Mostly chicken and beef. Sometimes lamb. Not for religious or ethnic reasons, I just figure that since it's so much cheaper than beef it's not as good. That and trichinosis.
