We don't need to be climate scientists to take advice from climate scientists.
We just need to be capable of balancing our ideologies with our intelligence and common sense.
At the moment, climate science appears to interfere with the right wing ideologies of a free market, low regulation and low taxation, because most of the suggested solutions have involved increased regulation and/or taxation. So, surprise, surprise, most of the climate deniers are right wing. Do they really distrust the scientists, or is it just that they don't want to believe it.
So, no, I'm not a climate scientist, but if I want to know something about climate, I will ask a climate scientist, not a politician or radio shock jock.
I'm not an engineer either, but if there is something wrong with my aircraft, I will take advice from a professional aircraft engineer, not a politician or radio shock jock.
