That is not an accident. An intern with fat fingers didn’t pick the wrong scale.

You are the carbon they want to reduce.

Jamie Foxx, Bronny James, and Shaka Hislop almost died from "climate change" during this record hot summer. Unfortunately they did not learn about the history of Tuskegee, one of many programs like the COVID jab that was designed to reduce carbon emissions.

My mom’s best friend’s son is in the hospital right now with a heart that keeps starting and stopping. He’s 31. He’s in great shape and was a healthy man three years ago. So sad.

Got a friend who felt dizzy a couple weeks ago. Is thin, doesn't smoke or do drugs, and has the occasional drink on a weekend. His leg is full of blood clots and he has bladder cancer and several nodules on his lungs. All out of the blue. Wth?

My niece's other grandmother just died a month ago. Got up 2 months before and couldn't walk. Sudden brain and lung cancer. Wth? She was a former smoker but did nothing else, was quite active for her age. Ugh.

Same. Just talked to a coworker who was pro-vax and is now second guessing getting his kids vaxxed after seeing all these young people falling over. Really good guy and I feel bad for him.

While we're sharing, a running friend, late 30's who's run ultramarathons, obviously in great shape, had a heart attack while running in the park. I'm quite sure she got the jabs because she bought into the bullshit and was a masker. Doctor was "baffled", said she had a congenital heart defect (myocardial bridge), but couldn't figure out how come she had never had a hint of a problem before. I personally think he's gaslighting her (and possibly himself) with the diagnosis. She says she has a "murmur", must not run, and will have to take medication for the rest of her life. That's just the most recent...not including the three older family members who died not long after the jabs came out, one with turbo cancer.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was saddened to hear that. There seems to be a lot of speculation about whether the experimental medicinal compound was to blame - which is of course vehemently denied ("don't push your agenda on us" was one of the irony-free comments).

Younger males seem to have been worse affected than females. I don't suppose we'll know the truth unless Tori herself decides to tell her story.

The absolute worst part is that they "cut" the scale on the right and then put the final graduation mark as 250, the same as on the left. This is nothing less than deception and trickery. The obvious and only reason one might do such a thing is to fool you into thinking the scales are the same when they are not even close. Shame on the authors and the Lancet.

That got me as well. It wasn't until I looked at the lower graduations that I saw the fraud.

Fraud is the only thing the global warmists have in their arsenal as they long ago abandoned facts and reason.

Good point - I saw that too - if your eyes quickly scan they could easily fall on the two "250"s. That probably reflects a definite intent to deceive.

No need to give this "scientist" scum the benefit of a doubt, good sir.

Yes I got fooled by that as well. Quickly looked to see if the scales were the same and they appeared to both go to 250. Absolute intentional deception.

Here's the meta-analysis of why such chart crime is important:

1 - It shows that TPTB think/believe their populations are: innumerate, (or) indoctrinated cult members, (or) morons, (or) some combo of (d) all of the above;

2 - Let's take a moment to remind ourselves of precisely Who is in charge of public education;

3 - Anyone who sees this and doesn't immediately conclude that it is willful deception is proof positive that #2 works perfectly in producing #1. i.e. NPCs who lack the numeracy & critical thinking skills necessary to understand that they're being had.

It is said that civilization is a chain, and if one link breaks, we risk losing it. I won't ride my favorite hobby horse, but when standards began to be lowered in the late 1960s, we broke a link. Errors were allowed into the system and they propagated. We have now had several generations taught by people educated to ever lower standards. It shows.

Expand full comment

But I challenge "errors were allowed into the system". I think not errors, but intentions.

Rulers (dictators) have known for centuries that control of education is the means to control the people. By the 20th century, this had evolved from control who is allowed to be educated to recognizing that education is a tool for indoctrination which is a tool for control. all the famous dictators did it - "public" education "for all" was mandatory, with the content controlled by the "government" (the rulers/dictators). Ensuring "quality" curriculum that only teaches "the right" things so as to avoid "confusing" kids with useless notions like independent thought.

Sadly I think there is no journal or scientific publication that is not overtly tainted by politics. This is a significant change from the past, when the politics was more readily hidden ;-).

Even in tech journals and conferences, you can't escape ESG and "inclusion" (which usually means listing topics, words and phrases you must exclude).

I realized several decades ago how little "peer reviewed" meant when I was first asked to be a peer reviewer :-).

TO be serious for a moment, it is complicated. Or maybe not so much. As a reviewer, you can only do so much before you are asked not to be a reviewer. Challenging the work of others on technical grounds used to be the point (or was it ever?) but now it's likely to hurt someone's feelings or violate diversity and inclusiveness goals. Then there's the obvious prohibitions on deviating from the narrative set by the funding organizations. Many times the comments provided by reviewers are "filtered" before they even get to the authors.

As a peer reviewer for several tech journals over the last couple decades I've had some "interesting" run-ins with politics and "social justice" over technical accuracy. In one example, I reviewed a paper that was very badly written, grammatically, and contained many technical errors. In the spirit of "I do this to help people, not because I lack things to do that don't pay" I provided corrections to many of the editorial errors, and questions to guide the authors' learning process where their knowledge of the topic was clearly deficient. My review was rejected as "too harsh" as I identified too many things that were wrong....all of which were. At no point did the committee assert any of my input was wrong. Just that it might discourage these tender young researchers....because feelings matter more than facts *yes someone said that to me!!!!

I can cite even more aggravating examples. At a conference on energy systems, I was removed from the review panel because I asked too many questions of the authors, apparently asking questions that shall not be asked. In another forum, I was asked to participate in the development of a standard on "inclusive language" in technical standards. In noted that so far the group had produced only a list of words and terms that must not be used (excluded). It took only a few such observations to get kicked out ;-)

Expand full comment

Your experience supports my impression, which I said I "suspect", not that I am certain. Reading your experience makes me suspect even more that good reviewers like you, get kicked out, and they keep reviewers that will be "tolerant" to serious flaws, and not only that, maybe promote publication of information that could be deceptive, as long as it is consistent with the consensus. I am certain that it is not necessary to tell you about publication bias. I wish peer-reviewd journals would keep more reviewers like you. It is my impression that this was the rule in the past.

Expand full comment

Yup but there are ways to slip through good comments anyway ;-). Sometimes.

Be careful on what constitutes "consensus". It often means that few spoke against it. Failure to object is "consensus". In many situations people are either not paying attention, can't be bothered, or are actively "discouraged" from objecting (for example, because they think their funding will be adversely affected).

Of course then there is "declared consensus". For example "all the worlds experts agree..." is often stated and seldom if ever accurate. Often not even a reasonable sized minority are represented. But if said often enough in the media it becomes "consensus" and anyone not playing along a "denier".

I taught elementary school (grades 2-4) for seven years. The use of different intervals for the cold vs heat is an error that a 3rd-grader would be expected to identify on a standardized math test.

"an error that a 3rd-grader would be expected to identify on a standardized math test"

Which may be precisely why they have eliminated standardized math tests.

Expand full comment

you use different scales to adjust for visibility. other than that all informationen is there. the error would be to leave out the axis labeling.

i’d go so far as to say that their axis is actually less spectacular because visually it evens out.

always watch the scale.

Expand full comment

Purposefully misleading...not "adjusting for visibility". Both heat and cold death bars could have been placed side by side on one side of the axis, with the scale adjusted to intervals of 25, let's say, without the graph taking up any more space, but allowing for better visibility of the heat deaths than using intervals of 10.

Funny thing, too. I was just thinking yesterday about how we deal with weather.

It's normal to heat one's home in winter. We have all sorts of modern inventions to keep our homes warm and provide hot water so people don't die of the effects of cold.

So--when it's uncomfortably, perhaps dangerously hot--you cool your home. Right? With air conditioners. Right?

When it's brutally cold, we're advised not to go out if we don't need to. So wouldn't you normally advise people not to go out, if they don't need to, when it's brutally hot?

That's normal behavior, for normal fluctuations in temperature over the course of the seasons.

Of course, if government policy and regulations have made it prohibitively expensive to run air conditioners when you need them, that's a sort of premeditated murder, isn't it?

The government these days need to be charged with first degree murder.

If you ever wondered why public schools require students to write about their feelings for 13 years in multiple courses per year with no requirements (and few electives) that involve statistics, data interpretation, or even rational inference, this is why. People are being trained to react emotionally and permanently mentally override what is provable and objective reality.

Wouldn’t have even noticed it until you pointed it out (the X-axis). And I like to think I’m slightly smarter than the average bear. I imagine the typical low information voters out there wouldn’t even glance twice at the scale. Would have been even clearer to leave the age groups out of it for this example. A death is a death.

Key Points

Question Is there an association between extreme heat and all-cause mortality in the US?

Findings In this cross-sectional study using a longitudinal analysis of county-level monthly all-cause mortality rates from all counties in the contiguous US from 2008 to 2017, each additional extreme heat day in a month was associated with 0.07 additional death per 100 000 adults.

Meaning These findings suggest that from 2008 to 2017 in the contiguous US, extreme heat was associated with higher adult all-cause mortality rates.

So basically similar order of magnitude to getting killed by a lightning strike. 1 death per 1.43 million people per year from excess heat as defined by the article.

Not a big killer...

Your answer applies middle school arithmetic and common sense to address a question that 1: should never be asked. (The SCIENCE is settled. Settled I tell you!), and 2: Common sense is no longer permitted. The thought police have been notified.
