The Trouble With Experts!:)

How so many people who claim to be experts in their fields in most cases get it so wrong.

    An important topic to be aware of. IMO the 'experts' that get the most aren't necessarily the ones that know the subject the best, its the ones that talk about their ideas with the most authority and pizazz. Also, many experts are trying make a living out of what they are doing so there's a financial incentive to have all the answers even when they're unsure.

  • This is a good starting point for another discussion on global warming and the 98% of climate scientists whom predict great upheaval.

  • There's no such thing as global warming. Global climate change, yes. But not global warming. Some places are going to get a LOT colder than they are now :)
