^ what if you don’t have a free burner because you’re cooking multiple things at once? What if it’s a full pot or pan that can’t be moved easily without sloshing liquid all over the place?
The best pans are very heavy and liable to break a ceramic glass surface, and some cooking techniques require shaking or moving the pan quickly. There’s just no way around gas being better for cooking.
I know induction heats water quickly but in the rare case when this is necessary (I don’t cook a lot of pasta) I have a countertop induction unit that plugs in. That’s what a lot of professional kitchens that primarily use gas do as well.

Some uses of these fuels are hard to replace like aviation fuel but cooking and home heating fuel is easy.

Except it’s not “easy” if the replacement technology is inferior.
But to answer the original question, the quantity is small compared to other sources. You and I breathe out CO2, livestock produce methane (and no we shouldn’t get rid of those either, vegans can go fuck themselves).
I live car-free in the city and cycle everywhere. Let me at least cook properly with cast iron pans on a gas range.
