"Engineers and scientists know engineering and science but not so much leading people to change their behavior."

Yes, I'd rather think that's by design.

The climatologists and scientists who have spent decades warning people of the dangers, constantly, spending their lives wandering the corners of the earth collecting evidence, getting ignored and ostracized by private industry, by backwards-looking governments at local, state, and federal levels, who have to deal with the public mocking of their life's work with drive-by "snow this winter? how about that global warming" op-ed cartoons; their job is to also perform the legislative and urban-planning-related feats to stop it all?

Do you think that's a reasonable spread of responsibility?
