Talk:National Registry of Environmental Professionals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Environmental pros - or cons?

The survey section of this article is lifted straight from an NREP Web page. A shared quote: "82 percent think global warming is a real, measurable, climactic trend currently in effect".

What does this mean, exactly? That most accredited US environmental professionals think that global warming is on target to reach a climax at some real, measurable point in the future? Or do these accredited (and recently polled) environmental professionals believe that global warming is climatic - that it has something to do with climate?

It surely can't be the latter. You don't have to be an accredited environmental professional to know that global warming has something to do with climate. That would be polling the obvious. So the NPER and most of its members - accredited environmental professionals all - must be saying that global warming is on its way to a peak.

Why isn't this headline news?

I can't believe that Wikipedia puts this stuff up. They specifically indicate on their web page that there are no climatologists among them. A mere 12% have chemistry as their primary function. No physicists. You might as well poll doctors or vets. What a waste of space. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.139.23.75 (talk) 20:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
