My dear friend G believes that NASA and NOAA have the last word on climate research.
"But, but, they are agencies run by political appointees," I said, "Does this not matter?"
A question that went unanswered. But G closed with the gem that if they put a man on the moon, they must be right about climate issues.
Fantastic! Imagine the following playette, where two friends meet in early April.
Joe: Frank, how are you? Looking good, my man? How's work?
Frank: Joe, good to see you! Not much happening. Just getting the taxes done and then the wife and I are going to take some vacation.
J: Oh, who's doing your taxes?
F: Right here, at the transmission shop. Sam is doing them.
J: What does Sam know about taxes?
F: I don't know, but he put a rebuilt transmission in my car and did a great job. No need to think about it beyond that. You're not a tax man and neither am I, so I'm using Sam.
