Not sure if this is a bit or if you're a world-class example of people so specialized that they have deluded themselves into believing they are experts in everything because of how special their specialization made them feel in college.

I have a PhD in particle physics

What does that have to do with your claim to be an authority on the reality of climate change?

At least I'm a freaking physicist. I understand statistics and math. You believe freaking ecologists for crying our loud! Anyone who talks for climate change is believed, and anyone who is against it is questioned. Wtf does Bill Nye or Tyson have to do with climate change? Yet somehow no one tells them "stfu, this isn't your field". They're just "TV". No one even comes close to researching this matter before spitting out a dumb opinion to avoid peer pressure.

But suddenly when someone disagrees, now they lose all their credentials and it isn't their specialty.

This game is being played on a global scale. So don't play the game "specialty and field", because a monkey agreeing with you can become an authoritative source from what I saw. All you have to do is silence everyone who disagrees with you. I'm not silenced yet, and I have an opinion, and no one has to give a shit for all I care.

So far your qualifications involve claiming you're a "freaking physicist" and then begging for internet funny money. pathetic

a monkey agreeing with you

Just a note, there's a bug that causes some of hexbear's emotes to be extremely large for users of other instances. The cryptocurrency emote is one of them. Other hexbear users have taken to hiding those behind spoilers to avoid annoying users from other instances.

I'll consider doing that in the future, then.
