I would never be so arrogant to tell a doctor how to do his job.

I would never be so arrogant to tell an electrician how to do his job.

I would never be so arrogant to tell a teacher or plumber etc how to do their jobs.

I am not a climate scientist but I LISTEN to their expertise, just as I do with mechanics, doctors and teachers. They have that expertise. I have mine. Don't blow it off and not expect me to rip your ears off.  I don't ask my dentist for tips on cutting trade deals.
