If her understanding of climate science is as shallow as her understanding of economics, I'm inclined to believe the opposite of whatever she says.

Other people have talked about the "failure of climate models" and I don't see anything in this video that is wrong. The TLDR is that we were assuming that modern climate models are incorrect because it did not seem to match the climate sensitivity we had recorded in the past. But it turns out that our recording of climate sensitivity in the past was incorrect, and all those scary models that everyone told us to ignore this year are probably accurate.

5 degrees, let's goooooo

Well I have good news for you, no matter who wins the election in 2024, at least 30% of the country will believe its illegitimate. More if we get some electoral college shenanigans.

An important thing to note: This is your well reasoned decision, when you are not facing the imminent prospect of death.

When you're sitting in that chair, strapped down, the eyes of everyone in the gallery staring at you with hate (or even worse, bored disinterest), the guards busily preparing your murder around you, refusing eye contact, knowing that in a few minutes they'll be carrying your cadaver to some unmarked grave, your heart racing, pounding in your ears, the murmur of medical devices, the beep beep beep of a heart monitor you know will soon be silent.

Under these stressful conditions you might not be consciously able to breathe deeply, the lizard brain may take over to extend what little time it has on this Earth.

Critical support to our doctors and nurses, who realize that "do no harm" includes participating in state sanctioned murder.

It is also, ironically, because of a failure in the market.

A lot of drug manufacturers are reluctant to have "used by the Statesville Department of Corrections to execute people" on the Wikipedia page for the drug they are trying to to sell. Having your drug used to put people to death makes it harder to sell to people that want to stay alive. So even though there is an open market for these chemicals, it is harder and harder to convince manufacturers to supply that market. Even where it's not explicitly prohibited like companies operating out of the European Union.

Also, the whole killing people thing kind of antithetical to most medical codes of ethics. Even outside of bad publicity, there are moral considerations, most doctors do not want to put their name to an execution method, it kind of goes against the whole "do no harm" thing. This is why they normally have some random first-year nursing student set the IV. And also why so many executions have failed in spectacular fashion because they couldn't find a vein, or the IV pops out or whatever.

That's a lot of broccoli, I feel bad for whoever is sharing a bunker with you.

Third commercial is "did you drink so much sugar water that your pancreas told you to go fuck yourself and stopped working? Are you really really fat? Ask your doctor about Ozempic today!"

I strongly disagree.

Butcher Biden is a much better use of alliteration.
