In his addled thought process, if Dayvoe points out that a mathmatician isn't a climatologist, then climatologists are not allowed to utilize mathmatics.<br /><br />Of course, intelligent people know that all of science, indeed, almost all professional fields of any kind utilize mathmatics, and also understand that being a mathmatician doesn't make one a climatologist, or a geologist, or an astrophysicist. And while all those fields use highly advance math skills, a climatologist, astrophysicist, or a geologist wouldn't necessarily describe themselves as a mathmatician either.Ol' Frothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001073150811372903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-54724457354372015922015-12-01T13:22:38.566-05:002015-12-01T13:22:38.566-05:00"So no math..."
