CO2 HOG

My background is not is climatology or meteorology, so I do not write this as a so called “climate expert.” I view this as an asset, not a liability. I view this as an asset because I do not have a dog in this fight, my funding does not depend upon carbon being the cause of global warming, and contrary to what my critics have charged, I am not being funded by the big oil companies, I am not on President Bush’s payroll, and I was not abused as a child.

My background is diverse; I have a doctor’s degree in optometry, an optometric pharmaceutical license, a master’s degree in economics, and majored in finance and economics in undergrad. I have worked as a portfolio manager and equity analyst for 9 years, served in the US Navy for 8 years, and taught both finance and economics. My expertise isn’t in doing climate research, it is in analysis, and analyzing research reports and findings. The scientific method is universal, and the laws apply to climatology as they do to all other fields of science.
