There was a point where I used to listen to NPR on Fridays (their science-Friday chat)...maybe fifteen years ago. So they had this environmental expert on and a caller phoned in and asked how the sun affected the Earth’s weather. The response...ZERO affect. The expert went through a 60-second response and just moved on. I went and looked up the guy and his degree/background. It was from such-and-such university, and then I looked up what it’d take to get such a degree. No requirements on solar studies.
The problem here is that we have a number of ‘experts’ around....who really aren’t experts. And we have little else to do with them.
So you admit he met all of the University requirements to attain a degree in solar science!?!?!
