And on policy matters, why do you suppose that "real expertise" is needed? Do we live in (or do we want to live in) a technocracy or a democracy? I think any average citizen is qualified to discuss potential policy options, and a scientist who knows about climate change should certainly be allowed to weigh in. --CS Why do you (“Anonymous”) say that Hansen “knows little more than the average citizen”?

He knows little more than the average citizen. It's unfortunate when we endorse scientists as being "experts" outside their real expertise.
