Pah...most people that teach Earth Science have majors in otehr firlds
related to the study such as Geology, Paleontology (Mr. Sail's has a BS in
that with an earth scienceandphysics minors)..



So most of the people teaching "earth science" have specialized in a narrow
field of earth science or something else and are teaching the broader field
of "earth science" in high schools. How does this contradict anything I've
said?

I'll say it again: A degree program in earth science is light on science.
SUNY has shown only two courses each of physics, chemistry and math with
biology optional to get a BS in Earth Science. Real colleges such as MIT,
Colorado School of Mines (the world's foremeost college on mineral
engineering) and others do not even offer a BS in Earth Science.




.and you're quoting for a wiki???bwahahahahaa...negates any type of point
you were trying to make...you don't know what you're talking about...


What in that Wiki quote is incorrect? Could you be so kind to point it out?
I could use the same tactic as you and say you don't have any degrees in
science and therefore you are not credible. But since we're discussing the
facts and issues and how they stand on their own, rather than who said them
or the source, I'd love to learn what was incorrect in the Wiki quote.
Please tell.


It gets even better he

BA in Earth Science:

They even have an interpretive trail guide specialty! So they all don't go
on to the classroom, some go on to clean the pit toilets.

I guess the BA in Earth Science is even lighter on science and math.

"A bachelor's degree is adequate for a few entry-level positions"

2.3 How much education do I need? Can I get a job with a bachelor's degree?

"Usually a master's degree is required for major professional entry-level
positions. As in any profession, the best jobs go to the best qualified
applicants. Students contemplating a professional career in the geosciences
should consider getting an advanced degree. A Ph.D. is needed for
advancement in college teaching and in most higher-level research
positions."



Show me the physics! Show me the math! Show me the chemistry! Show me the
biology!

Moooo-hoooo-hooo-haaaa-haaaa!!!!!!!!!!

It's no wonder the issue of "Global Warming" is such a circus.
