What’s the cut-off point of being an official scientist? Could a kid with a community college degree....get the title?
They should make it at least as strict as the Union of Concerned Scientists, which is that no degree is required at all.

I was one of the early signers
I don’t know about the Community College Degree, but I know you meet the qualification if you are a Democrat Politician or someone with a financial stake in “Green Energy”, which may be the same person.
