- briantakita 7y agoAll hail the "experts", except for Dr. Valentina Zharkova, Dr. Heinrich Svensmark, Dr. John Casey, & Dr. Freeman Dyson; don't listen to these heretics of the faith.

- robotresearcher 7y agoI didn’t know some of these names so I looked all of them up. Cribbed from Wikipedia and their web pages: [Zharkova is] a Professor in Mathematics at Northumbria University. [She has a] BSc/MSc in Applied Mathematics and Astronomy, a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, certificate in project management. Henrik Svensmark (born 1958) is a physicist and professor in the Division of Solar System Physics at the Danish National Space Institute (DTU Space) in Copenhagen. He is known for his theory on the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation as an indirect cause of global warming. Casey received his B.S in physics and math from Jacksonville State University and his MA in Management from Webster University. Freeman John Dyson FRS (born 15 December 1923) is a British theoretical physicist and mathematician known for his work in quantum electrodynamics, solid-state physics, astronomy and nuclear engineering.
- tomrod 7y agoWhoa whoa whoa, wait a minute. Argument by credential is a logical fallacy. It may be used in defense of a true point, but we should be very hesitant to assume because most/some/many experts agree on a point that the thinking is done. Now, I agree with you that climate science and forecasting is complex. However, the reports are public and known for anyone doubting, and the organization is highly transparent[0].
