I do not believe in coincidences.
There is no way it is a coincidence a study connecting climate change to the reduction of the “speech complexity and productivity of politicians” came out as the media has been fighting back against videos showing Biden’s cognitive decline.
It’s not a Babylon Bee article.
From Cell.com: The effect of temperature on language complexity: Evidence from seven million parliamentary speeches
It’s a Europe based study, but still:
Climate change carries important effects on human wellbeing and performance, and increasingly research is documenting the negative impacts of out-of-comfort temperatures on workplace performance. In this study, we investigate the plausibly causal effect of extreme temperatures, i.e., out-of-comfort, on language complexity among politicians, leveraging a fixed effects strategy. We analyze language complexity in over seven million parliamentary speeches across eight countries, connecting them with precise daily meteorological information. We find hot days reduce politicians’ language complexity, but not cold days. Focusing on one country, we explore marginal effects by age and gender, suggesting high temperatures significantly impact older politicians at lower thresholds. The findings propose that political rhetoric is not only driven by political circumstances and strategic concerns but also by physiological responses to external environmental factors. Overall, the study holds important implications on how climate change could affect human cognitive performance and the quality of political discourse.
I have no words. What absolute garbage.
The group analyzed decades of speeches. I cannot find it anywhere that language has evolved, the introduction of available media, social media, etc.
Did they take the politician’s medical conditions into account? I used to be more comfortable in the cold. Due to rheumatoid arthritis, I’m more comfortable in the heat now—the hotter, the better.
I don’t even think they took AGE into account.
We’ve had three videos alone in a few weeks of Biden not totally being there. I lost count of how many we had before June!
But they’re cheap fakes, right?
