Charles Q. Choi’s biography qualifies me to write thusly about Charles Q. Choi.

He haqs NO science background.

He is a “science” writer for crap media-—

“Charles Q. Choi is a science reporter who has written for Scientific American, The New York Times, Wired, Science, Nature, Popular Science, and National Geographic News, among others. For his work, he has hunted for mammoth DNA in Yukon, faced gunmen in Guatemala, entered the sarcophagus housing radioactive ruins in Chernobyl, and looked for mammal fossils in Wyoming based on the guidance from an artificial intelligence.

“In his spare time, Charles has traveled to all seven continents, including scaling the side of an iceberg in Antarctica, investigating mummies from Siberia, snorkeling in the Galápagos Islands, excavating ancient Mayan ruins in Belize, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, camping in the Outback, and avoiding thieves near Shaolin Temple.”

BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE A SINGLE QUALIFICATION IN SCIENCE-—or they would have listed it.

You are welcome to swallow whatever such an unqualified flack for the scientific establishmant puts out.

How busy birthin’ babies was Smurfette as the loan female Smurf?

"You are welcome to swallow whatever such an unqualified flack for the scientific establishmant [SIC] puts out."

As a physical chemist, I recommend that you put your disdain for "the scientific establishmant [SIC]" where your head resides. Both will be well shielded from onslaughts of knowledge -- or sunlight...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Our sun will end up as a white dwarf one day...

They'll rename it "Nadler Prime." :)

[Redcitizen]

I’m thinking I watch too much Futurama when I recognize that episode. :)

[MarvinStinson]

“The scientific establishment” pushes global warming

For starters.

I pointed out that media “science” writer Choi has ZERO background in science.

I recommend that you remove your head and your lack of reading comprehension from where the the sun doesn’t shine and SHOW ME that cheap “media” science flack Choi has a scintilla of scientific background.

You can’t.

[MarvinStinson]

“These guys have the science background and likely the multiple PhDs to prove it”

To prove what?

That a hack like Choi churns out crap for the non-scientific “media” for the sheep to swallow?

[PIF]

They are the original authors - Choi has no part in their paper which you should read.

“These guys have the science background and likely the multiple PhDs to prove it -> they are real scientists, unlike your nemesis Choi

[MarvinStinson]

Choi is a standard example of a media flack who has no qualifications to write anything about science.

These creatures abound throughout the media.

Boxing “experts” who never had a fight with their own sister.

Political operative “experts” whose candidates have never won an election.

Would you buy a cookbook by an author who has never broken an egg?

Al Gore and Greta Thunberg are media “authorities” in the area of “science.”

Soros bankrolled potheads writing on the “benefits” of their beloved pot.

When you read a media article on “science”, first stop and ask,

What are the author’s credentials in the subject?

The media specializes in presenting politically correct “news”

and has an army of Choi’s to do it.

[Vaquero]

I love Futurama. Can’t get enough. It’s a crime it is not still on with new episodes.

[PIF]

You must be reading challenged - I said Chio has northing to do with the original paper in Science. He just regurgitated what he thought the paper said. The paper's authors, whether you agree with their finding or not, are legitimate scientists your boy Choi is NOT one of them
