James New Message: Economic Democracy, how good are the credentials of the US government scientist who's announcing these results? He's fairly well up there in the profession, isn't he? William R. James writes that we should "learn a little science," and I agree. But the little science that I learned in graduate school at the University of Michigan 30 years ago indicated that the "greenhouse effect" was real, and that global climate change should be on the way. At least this was what my professors believed at the time. This also seems to be the view today of the many high-level scientists around the world who have signed on to the IPCC reports. However, I admit that my "little science" doesn't really enable me to judge the competing claims of the ranking experts in the Global Climate Change camp and the Denialist camp, respectively. For me, that makes the reputations of various experts important. So how good is this guy's reputation? Why should we believe this government expert as opposed to, say, William R. James?
