Just because you are good at one thing
Does not mean that you are good at something else...
Case in point: Stephen Emmott -- from a
Financial Times interview:
Is it too late to save the planet?
Stephen Emmott, head of Microsoft�s Computational Science Lab in Cambridge and professor of computational science at Oxford, is one of Britain�s leading scientists. He also emerged this summer as a star on the London stage, with a three-week run at The Royal Court of Ten Billion � a solo show looking at the dire consequences of a human population rising far beyond Earth�s carrying capacity.
Emmott�s compelling pessimism, delivered from a stage replica of his Cambridge office, attracted almost universal praise. Sarah Hemming of the FT and Michael Billington of the Guardian both described Ten Billion as �one of the most disturbing� evenings they had ever spent in a theatre.
Sorry Stephen, you may be excellent as MSFT's head of their Computational Science Lab in Cambridge but you are balls-off stupid when it comes to dealing with other subjects.
You are a Malthusian and Malthusians have never ever been proven to be correct in their predictions. Do not shout me down; prove me wrong.
If you have the data, it will be simple for you to break my argument.
Your nemesis is that I have a lot of data that proves you to be wrong.
Limits to Growth? Gag me with a spoon.
If this moke is really one of
Britain�s leading scientists I pity poor Albion...
