A paper has been retracted that claimed that smoke from wildfires was linked to dementia. Now the climate angle here, which was what the authors’ were pushing, is that the world is burning up because of CO2 levels and it is so hot that we are having an extraordinary number and extent of wildfires, so people are going senile. Every piece of it is a lie. CO2 levels appear to have little to do with temperature changes, we do not have a record number or even a high number of wildfires or acres burned and the only senility appears to be among so-called climate experts, like these authors. The paper had to be retracted because it had a math “error” (since the climate hysterics believe that cheating to get the result you want is fine, I doubt it was an error) and when the error was fixed there was no longer any significant association between wildfire particulates and dementia. And the whole notion that this is something that could be carefully controlled for in a study is completely absurd. (Demented Study)
