Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Damn. There are no LED's that can be put into enclosures, right? I suppose that's a worthwhile sacrifice to avoid idiots from sticking to incandescents.
There are LED bulbs rated for this. I've got several in fixtures like that.
Where do I look to find them?
By looking for the words "Enclosed Fixture Rated" in the spec sheet.
Sadly I don't live in US of A so finding these bulbs is extremely difficult
I just want to go to a home Depot and get a few:(
Take that website I linked — 1000bulbs.com — and look up bulbs that are actually available to you using it. You'll likely find that some are rated for enclosed fixtures.
I use all LEDs in my home and aside from the dollar store LEDs lasting less long in 2 bulb enclosures, all the ones in the ceiling boob lights are doing fine. I recently got better bulbs that as a nice bonus are a warm color temperature and I'll see how they do. the nicer LEDs have circuity that can reduce their output to reduce heat output if they detect they're being cooked from what I understand
