Algore will be dead and gone before his fraud is undeniably exposed.
For some time now I’ve maintained that some “professions” just do not have a decent claim for respecting their “credentials” given that it is difficult, sometimes even impossible, to test the soundness of their decisions and proposals until long after they’ve been gone, at which point it’s often too late and the damage is done.
In finances, for example, it is relatively easy to doublecheck an accountant’s work as these ultimately rest on the numbers but extraordinarily difficult to check an economist’s. As for those who live off of the churn on so-called money products (ways to manipulate money that don’t actually produce goods and services) they’re even worse.
The same can be said of engineers, doctors, chemists and so many others whose efforts or professional judgments can be reasonably double checked by others just on an examination of the available facts and numbers ... these have great claims for professional credentials where many others, like aforementioned economists or any number of humanities topics (especially the -insert here- Studies sociology phenomenon that has proliferated), just do not.
And while we’re at it climatologist are on shaky ground too unless you allow that the political mission statement of the IPCC, to find man made global warming so lo they find exactly that, is valid.
As for these socialist, in the past I’ve noted that the whole socialist proposition seems to have partly emerged in response to the Little Ice Age as hungry people were willing to accept such crap ideas as the government should take care of them.
