Since this whole subject has become very political, it’s hard to know what to believe and whom to trust. So here’s what you can do. Only pay attention to true experts, which are climate scientists who are published in science journals. Other scientists are not experts when it comes to climate change. Not physicists, biologists or even…meteorologists. After all, if you have brain cancer, you’re going to listen to a brain surgeon, not a foot doctor.
