Of those 11,258 ‘scientists’ (including [Mickey Mouse](https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/11/taking-the-mickey-out-of-the-other-11257/?ref=goodoil.news)) who declared that the world was going to hell in a handcart due to a climate emergency, 195 were from New Zealand. What were their fields of **climate science** expertise that lead them to this conclusion?

With a bit of jiggery-pokery, the PDF list of ‘scientists’ from the original article was converted to Excel, sorted by country and then by their self declared “Professional Position and/or Discipline”. Those from New Zealand were copied to this post along with their “Institution”.

There are a few on that list that are clearly involved in the climate science field but **most are not.** They have no more credibility than the average person.

An obstetrician, a software engineer, a specialist in Edible Mycorrhizal Fungi, a plant breeder, a genetics technician, a clinical psychologist and and a botany compliance officer!

Well, I’m convinced.
