It's fascinating how many pilots find the time to qualify themselves as experts in climate science, to the extent they feel justified in rubbishing work by qualified scientists of years training, PhDs etc etc.

These same pilots are the first to criticise anyone without a pilots background for commenting on flight matters, quite rightly in most cases.

I wouldn't trust a climate scientist to fly a plane, maybe you should take your own advice and let them do your job, and you do yours.

Ironically of course, the same people who deny man made climate change will often use the evidence that the earth has warmed and cooled naturally in the past, as if that somehow prevents the possiblity of non natural causes now, which is a logical fallacy. Of course this evidence is provided by the same scientists who produced the evidence for man made climate change, the deniers just pick and chooose which science they believe.
