An auditor's skills include being able to analyze hundreds of pages of information to glean what is important, and what is not. (I believe the Big 4 say 700 pages for one of their audits). One learns to identify when data is false or a Trojan horse hiding fraud. Reviewing global warming data sets off the old BS detector. Beyond that, one must look for who profits from such.
i have no clue why we have 'climate experts', when we could just use several accountants... why even research the problem. the accountants have already identified the problem and we just don't need anyone else. 
Amazing that someone doesn't understand that being able to analyze data to detect fraud is a specialization. -- auditors have branched out just like the medical profession.
However, what can one expect from a math major who apparently did nothing with it. And, considered computer science a loser. Must still be using abuci to do his advanced math.

When Crash said he took 36 hours of math, he literally meant 36 hours, not semester hours. He ran out of fingers and toes after 35 hours and spent the last one trying to figure out how to ease out the door without being noticed. Funny thing is he could have went out with a marching band and no one would have cared.
Perhaps, if the band struck up the Louis Armstrong old favorite, "I'll be glad when you're gone you rascal, you,"
i can't for the life of me figure out why 'an accountant' thinks he's god's gift to 'climate change'.. nor why 'hooberidiot' wishes to worship at the alter of direstraits.. it does make for great comic relief. one has to wonder if either of the two has ever attended any form of college, short of 'phoenix online'.
