This is nonsense. The average listener of that station would be thinking "well he's a geologist, he should know'. You know who knows? A VULCANologist. --- End quote --- Well, first of all, the amount of CO2 expelled by a volcano should be based on empirical data, so it wouldn't matter if it was regurgitated by a geologist or your babysitter. The numbers should still be the same. --- End quote --- Yes if the gelogist quoted the same figures that a VULCANologist would quote, then yes it wouldn't matter if he said it, or Jordan Peterson or my barber. But your mentality is blocking you from comprehending what I said. The geologist was touted as an expert, and then he said something about volcanoes which is completely wrong. But the job is done, most people listening would be left with a vague impression of yet another reason all the climate scientists are wrong. Deny, disrupt, divide. I once worked with a guy, and i kid you not, he didn't believe men had been to the moon. He would quote all these 'alternative facts' to prove his claim. Like I said before just HAVING an alternative doesn't give it the same weight. An alternative to evolution and the age of the world is that God created everything in six days about 6000 years ago. Most people would agree that 'fact' really doesn't have the same weight as that which science now contends. Oh, that guy? He also believed his stock standard Suzuki Swift could do a 1/4 mile in under 10 seconds. He was also, by any other measures smarter than me. But you couldn't tell him he was wrong. Howard is right, you can't change people's minds in these cases, but you just hope they aren't in positions of power. Anyway, enough from me. Apologies to the OP |

I described this thread's discussion to my teenage/young adult daughters. They asked me to relay a message to all of us. Here is is: "OK BOOMER" |

And this gives you expertise on peer reviewed research funding? Cmon, bro. |
