text: What makes scientists any different than politicians? No, really! What sort of halo is over the head of a scientist that is different from the halo over a politician? If a gal/fella finds themselves working to put bread on the table, she/he is no different than a politician. Take the high road and talk about it...that'll earn my confidence! Holy smokes, what gullible saps they think of us little folk. As a caveat, don't get me wrong, I do believe that our environment is under great stress. Climate change is a symptom of natural and man-made causes. Every time a scientist or engineer opens their mouth and/or attempts to persuade opinions...be critically inquisitive. Why? Mother Nature doesn't give hoot who they are. So, why should we. Sincerely,
