If your feelings are hurt, I truly apologize. My point was simply to offer
up that "Earth Scientists" may have less science education than engineers,

"May have less"??? Thos are prtty harsh words!

computer engineers and other "non-science" majors.

As a quite successful computer engineer I can state that its
altogether possible to hold an advanced degree in CS and never have
taken a true science or engineering course. (Not in my case though,
since I really majored in engineering and then physics.)

I believe it is important
for others to know this because these very "Scientists" are
predicting/echoing global warming/cooling/warming/cooling/disaster/doom

This is where you're completely wrong. You're trying to make it sound
like the entire field of Earth Science has been made up of community
college dropouts. The reality is that there is a huge amount of
advanced science, most of it published in respectable, peer reviewed
journals.

In fact, a study was done to see how many scientific papers supported
the notion that man was a major cause of climate change, and how many
disagreed. Over 1000 papers were sampled, 75% agreed, 25% were
"agnostic" and had no opinion, but there was not a single paper that
disagreed. Although the study was criticized, even the critics
admitted that it was substantially correct.

Even the famous skeptics don't claim climate change isn't real, they
generally complain about the way it is described. For instance,
there's no way to prove that Katrina was caused Global Warming.



and
are affecting the very lives, livelihoods, educations, social structure
based solely upon their credential as "Scientist".

Yes, all those PhD's from major universities are worthless because
Crantz claims they're "soft on science."
