Not a recommendation exactly, but I use the Ryobi 18V range. The good part is that the mower, whipper snipper, etc are cheap, but the real win is that the batteries can be shared. This means I feel like the investment in the batteries is worth it, even as they age out. Ryobi batteries are also pretty good. Really wish a larger company like, say, Makita, had a shared battery system as large as Ryobi.

EDIT: Yep Makita do now. Nice.

That's how my Kobalt set is, too. I've got the mower, weedeater, blower, hedge trimmer, and pole saw - they all share the same batteries.

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

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
