I and people like me worked on Y2K for a number of banks to ensure it was a non issue. The banks listened to the experts and took appropriate action. People who run banks are generally much smarter than pilots. Why do pilots think they know more about the climate than climate scientists just because they read an article by someone that is not an expert, or listened to a mate down the pub?
if you get pain in you chest would you:
a) Ask the FO
b) Ask your GP
c) Do nothing
I am certain everyone would, I hope, do b) so why is it so hard to trust scientists who are the recognised experts?
Q: How many of the top 500 Scientific Institues on the planet agree that Climate Change is real, man made, etc?
A: Every. Single. One.
Look it up if you do not believe me.
