Remedial lesson in logic: comparing climate scientists to baristas does NOT mean I see baristas as an authority. It means exactly the opposite. I am saying that if you want expert advice you have to find the experts in the fields relevant to questions being asked. I would not ask my doctor for advice on fixing my car. Likewise I would not ask a climate scientist for advice on reducing CO2 emissions. You, OTOH, seem to think that an "expert" that you agree with immediately becomes the omniscient authority of everything. That kind of thinking is a textbook example of dumb.

So if you took your car to 100 auto mechanics and 97 of them said you needed new brakes you would ignore them because you didn't want to believe you needed new brakes. That's dumb.
