Atmospheric science, what's that? Weathermen? They are notoriously ignorant of science. All they know is which way the wind will blow the next three days.

So you're the judge of what constitutes a "serious scientist"?

Since you don't even care to look up what atmospheric science means - it describes all climatologists, aeronomists, and yes, meteorologists.

Mike, the intellectually honorable thing would be to acknowledge that you were seriously in error to begin with.
