Be mindful in picking studies
I enjoy the podcast, but the lead article from the October 10th podcast, discussing association of increased temperatures with SUD hospitalizations and making the conclusion climate change is contributing to SUD hospitalizations, is disappointing. The study association is correlation at best. The authors making the leap of linking climate change to SUD hospitalizations is, frankly, terrible, but this podcast should not have highlighted the study. There is also correlation data to show warmer temperatures correlate with increased rape case, increased murders, likely others as well. Does this mean climate change is contributing to rape and murder? No, it is merely a correlation and cannot imply causation. Should the article been published with the author’s conclusions is a question for the journal, but, again, this podcast need not highlight it.
