Love how they always say "the experts" but never mention what fucking experts they are.

Give me some names instead of just saying "some expert said it"

[-] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 48 points 1 year ago

To be fair, they usually say which experts in the article. Just nobody reads the articles 🙈

The "Experts" are flying all over the world in their private jets, emitting more pollution than I do in a year

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I don't think most people who qualify as experts on this matter are doing that in the slightest... but ok buddy. Let's group the politicians and scientists together then?

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Cuz scientists are immune to moral corruption? Anyone can be bought, man

[-] Yendor@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

The whole point of the scientific method is that it’s self-correcting. Corrupting one scientist doesn’t matter because the scientific consensus will show that they’re wrong.

But corrupt one (or a few) politicians and you can get laws changed for your benefit.

How and why? They are usually professors who regret not taking a well-paying job from some company.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 18 points 1 year ago

It's a catch-all term from professional to nutcase lol.
