Washington Post warmist Andrew Freedman: You know what sucks? Being a "climate professional" after most people no longer believe in the global warming hoax

Top 5 Faux Careers To Avoid Discussing Global Warming · OPB News

I’ve been in too many uncomfortable global warming-related conversations with strangers to count at this point, and it’s tiring. It’s one thing if I’m speaking at a public event or a scientific conference, where I’m trying to foster greater understanding of the climate challenge. In other settings, I really don’t want to get into a debate with people, like the time I was seated next to a coal industry lobbyist at my cousin’s bar mitzvah. (He really, really wanted to talk about “Climategate.”)

As much as I hate to admit, sometimes it’s simply easier to dodge a question about what I do for a living -- or flat out lie -- than to endure another heated argument.

I’m sure my wariness is shared by many fellow climate researchers and communicators. We share a bond with others whose work is controversial or unpopular -- like personal injury attorneys, Goldman Sachs executives, and, judging from recent approval ratings, any member of Congress -- and those who truly need a cover story, like CIA operatives. 

So as a service to fellow climate professionals, here’s a ready-made list of the Top 5 socially acceptable -- and conversation enabling -- professions to fall back on in case you’re on a plane or at a cocktail party and are aiming for pleasant banter with strangers rather than a heated conversation about global warming.
