New study uses causal analysis to demonstrate big reductions in carbon emissions if fewer bovines.
In ten years, methane emissions from all activities if bovine stop would be 80 % of methane emissions from all activities if no intervention.
Results and causation are presented at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693

Blasting this #Statistics #CausalInference #Confounding question that's vexing me out there into the aether:

I'm trying to build a Poisson model of a count variable as a function of a set of environmental variables. I have to transform the coefficients into rates by including an offset, as I have different levels of exposure for each measurement. However, I have strong reason to suspect that this offset is also influenced by the same environmental variables.

Am I screwed?

Nature recently introduced new guidelines for studies engaging with questions of race, ethnicity or gender. Among others, it asks researchers to explain how they controlled for #confounding variables. We agree this is important, especially because we think #bias and #disparity should be understood in #causal terms. In this #LSE impact blog, @LudoWaltman and I discuss some of the challenges around this.

1) An Example:
Does your #shoesize have an effect on your #income? If you look at the c#orrelation between shoe size and income, you will indeed find out: People with bigger feet have on average a higher salary!
But does that really mean that shoe size has an effect on income? No, because: Gender has an effect on both shoe size and income - so it's a #confounding factor in this context!
