But it is perceptable by vision, that's how your amygdala knows to be afraid of it. Maybe something else kicks in afterwards if it's around long enough, not sure, but you'd definitely "see" it, just not consciously

> There is no evidence for projected warming <3-4C of any tipping points that significantly change the warming trajectory.

Just to back up this point, r/science discussed a paper in Science which examined known tipping points 5 months ago. I extracted a list of those tipping points, their thresholds, their effects, and their timescales.

As you say, none of the near-warming (<4C) near-term (<200-year timescale) tipping points had significant global effects on warming or sea level rise.

Wait until I tell you the wonderful story of the Saturated Fatty Acid Palmitate. How it dysregulates Glucagen Like Peptides.

You see those expensive new diabetes drugs? All they do us switch back on GLP-1; which Palmitate, in high concentrations, switches off.

Now get this, the Government tells us to eat low fat foods to lose weight. But, low fat foods aren't a food group anymore because they cannot carry fat soluble vitamins.

How do they address this? They add Palm Oil or Palmitate as a carrier of fat soluble vitamins in low fat food and spreads like margarine. Especially those 'Cholestrol lowering' margarines (don't get me started on the lies around cholestrol)

They tell us to eat low fat foods to lose weight, and give us a nice big helping of metabolic disorder along with them. Chemically induced diabetes.

Like Cheshire Cats, the last thing you see are the Narcissistic smirks of Lobbyists disappearing into the shadows behind the politicians behind these regulatory guidelines.

P.S the sellers of Low Fat Palmitate Rich food have heavy investments in Insulin and Diabetes drug companies.

They know precisely what they are doing.

The article is putting the cart before the horse. Checking smartphones more often isn't causing more daily cognitive failures. People who are prone to more daily cognitive failures (such as those with ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, or any number of other disorders which include executive dysfunction amongst their symptoms) are, as a result, more likely to check their phones frequently throughout the day, whether fo reminders, out of distraction, or just a subconcious search for that hit of dopamine.

Co-relation does not equal causation. Reporters writing about studies pretty much always twist it for an agenda.

I see. I'd suggest that it's more corporate-mandated, because were it not for the undue influence of corporations in government, the government might have put out more sensible diet advice that led to healthier outcomes. I'm aware that that's just speculation.

Does it have to be "government-mandated" as opposed to "corporate-mandated"? 'Cause I feel like regulatory capture by big corporations is closer to the root of the problem than any government regulations. Then again, I suppose that's not a question for this sub.

They knew from 1908 to 1936. 100 human model studies 10s of thousands of animal model studies.

10% Sugar or fructose and 3% salt diet causes metabolic disorder and vasculature dementias.

They confirmed it all the way back then.
