Too true. Have a conversation with any credible expert at any science organisation or school in this country.
By your own admission to be a credible expert
Theyre considered experts because they are repeating what actual climate scientists say.
all you have to do is repeat what climate scientists say! So if I want to be considered an expert I should start a group called "Pilots for Climate Change Action" and squarwk like a parrot on the subject. Then I can start a Go-Fund Me campaign to help me spread the message that a group of concerned pilots want action on the climate emergency. While I am at it I might as well start an Instragram page so that I can be a climate emergency influencer. Oh yeah I can probably stop being a pilot because all my followers can fund my new lifestyle.
The climate change argument is more about economics than emergency. From modelling and forecasting to changing the way money can be made from one business model to a new business model. There is a reason a sizable part of the population is sceptical.
