All professionals in all disciplines need to understand climate change and make it part of their practice because it impacts everything. A medical doctor needs to understand how changing climate will impact their patients, for example.

It is quite strange and disappointing that this messaging was missed. It would have been a great time to really get this conversation going. Sadly we received the opposite message and we now have a cult of people who espouse the belief that any exercise that feels hard is bad and any hunger cravings must be indulged taking over nutritional practices.

Do you have any evidence that there is any exercise threshold, beyond say individuals sessions done to total physical collapse that may temporarily weaken the immune system, worsens the experience of covid?
I think it's more likely to say that there are outliers to norms, and that this person likely would have been worse off if they exercised less.

Indeed there are outliers to every rule. Some little kids and even babies can get cancer. Some people can smoke for 85 years and die at the ripe old age of 105 with no lung issues or anything of the sort.
But when we talk about public healthy we talk about likelihoods. It's extremely unlikely for someone to live to 105 having smoked for 8 decades. It's extremely unlikely for little kids and babies to get cancer. And it is much more likely for someone who is overweight and does not exercise to suffer severe or lethal covid than someone who is very fit.

What part is not true? Are you disagreeing that physical activity reduces the odds of developing severe or lethal covid by very large amounts?
Additionally, do you know what helps to mitigate hypertension and systemic inflammation? Regular physical activity.

Over and over, not just with respect to covid, but with respect to every single health condition we know about. Exercise even helps things that are neurological like epilepsy and Parkinson's to such an extraordinary degree that doctors can tell if you're lying about your activity levels based on how quickly the diseases progress.
Our bodies are not adapted to be static lumps. It destroys every system we have inside of us to remain inactive.

Climate change has biological impacts and biological causes. The biology of many of our agricultural and industrial practices (i.e. the flora and fauna involved and impacted) is the primary driver of climate change. The way that changes in temperature will impact flora and fauna, and indeed us as well is also vitally important to know.
​
EDIT:
Here's a very basic example. Temperatures can impact reproductive frequency, behavior, and the physical sex of many species. If you are studying biology as it relates to an average temperature that no longer exists on earth, you are not studying biology as you need to understand today.

While I agree, two of the most popular ways of eating involve believing fruits and vegetables are bad for you. I'll never underestimate the stupidity of people. Especially after the last 3 years of this pandemic

Some people genuinely believe that going on a diet for a little while will slippery slope you into anorexia nervosa. It is important to regularly produce science that tests our assumptions, re-confirms our previously established knowledge, and provides new data on important questions. That's what science is all about.

Binge eating disorder is also more common than all other eating disorders combined. It is also very much considered to be highly under diagnosed.

Reply to Children and teens who survive a firearm injury have a high rate of developing new mental health diagnoses in the year afterward, even compared with kids who suffered injuries in a motor vehicle crash, a new study shows. by Wagamaga
Well presumably some portion of these firearms injuries are the result of violence, so you should compare it to other forms of violence rather than generic accidents. It makes sense that people who experience violence are more likely to have mental health issues than people who experience motor vehicle accidents.

Reply to comment by Jane-Henry in BMI Declines Seen Seven Years Before Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis by johnhemingwayscience
No, this study is not attempting to draw that conclusion, nor does it.
What it says is very old people who were predisposed to cognitive impairment (MCI here stands for mild cognitive impairment not myocardial infarction) or Alzheimers who are older, have one BMI point less but are still overweight, and get less overall activity are more likely to have progression to those diseases than people who are younger, have one BMI point more, and get more overall activity.
​
>Those who developed MCI were older (mean [SD] age, 79.6 [5.9] years vs 76.9 [6.6] years), consumed less alcohol (median [IQR] consumption, 0 [0-5.8] g/day vs 1.1 [0-6.9] g/day), had a lower BMI (mean [SD], 27.2 [4.9] vs 28.2 [5.9]), and were more likely to be apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers (89 of 371 [24.0%] vs 98 of 568 [17.3%]) compared with those who remained cognitively intact over follow-up. Those who developed dementia were older (mean [SD] age, 81.0 [5.2] years vs 79.1 [6.0] years), had a lower level of physical activity (median [IQR] activity, 1.0 [0-2.5] h/week vs 1.8 [0.2-3.8] h/week), and were more likely to be APOE ε4 carriers than those who were dementia-free (33 of 88 [37.5%] vs 56 of 283 [19.8%]). Compared with participants who remained cognitively intact, in those with incident MCI, BMI tended to decline earlier and faster.

Nearly all medical conditions are reduced in risk, slowed in progression, or improved in severity if you exercise regularly. Specifically cardio, but also do strength training as that helps ensure systemic strength and is important to maintaining muscle mass and bone density in old age.

Drilling holes in heads is still a medical practice for certain conditions, and is still the best treatment for those conditions.

With supporting the current standards of care for trans people in medicine.
To be clear, to all your delusional ramblings or whatever, trans people do face all those forms of discrimination including police harassment and abuse, beatings and murders, etc etc. So we don't need to talk about the fact that you only care about it when a famous person is criticized for demonizing them

So, to be clear, your treatment plan for transgender individuals is
-
Throw out all the effective treatments that currently work and save their lives
-
Abuse them harder and prevent them from living their lives until they kill themselves
