Agree...but still too close for me.
I can assure you that, as a PhD educated life scientist, I have never even taken an atmospheric science course, nor have any of the other PhD level scientists that I work with. Equating life scientists like those described in the article with climatologists is like equating a bridge engineer with a train engineer--they are completely different.
Even within the life sciences, there are major differences. I would take much of the research published by medical doctors with a huge grain of salt, for instance.
I understand that, but that University does seem to have a BIG PROBLEM dealing with people that put out phony information. That’s why ANYTHING out of there is considered suspect.
