> Sudden emergence

Yeah, a report got released after being worked on.

>weak or falsified evidence

I guess articles like this will hash it out, but it's a bold assertion.

>an engineered emergency

I don't think anyone has called this an emergency of any kind.

>using children to emotionally manipulate

Debatable but hard to argue against.

>politicians signally adherence

My instinct would tell me this isn't something most on the left are campaigning on, while reactionary rightists are probably tweeting about freedom (for gas stoves, not the poor, the workers, the non-whites or the ill).

>extreme calls to action

A ban is being discussed, yes. Sometimes government regulates dangerous consumer goods.

> etc.

Uh-huh.
