Just because he gives misleading social commentary, doesn’t mean that his meteorological information is any less accurate.

- fanatic2pope 6y agoHow do you know his meteorological information is accurate?
- cbsks 6y agoHe is a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, a fellow of the American Meteorological Society, and his resume [0] looks impressive to me. I realize that this is an appeal to authority, but since I don’t know enough about meteorology to make an informed decision about the specific information that he gives, his qualifications seem to indicate that he is a trustworthy source of meteorological information. I did a quick internet search and looked him up on Wikipedia. His Wikipedia entry [1] mentions the controversies surrounding his non-professional views, but I didn’t find anything about his meteorological views being in question. Please correct me if I missed something! It can be hard to determine if someone is trustworthy on the internet.
