The 30,000 weren't described as climate people specifically and they said nothing about directly involved. They referred to them as scientists.
A glaring omission wouldn't you say? And no you wouldn't say that. Because now you are adding parameters the article didn't feel it needed.
Plus much of the research is taking measurements. It's the use of the scientific method that counts, and like most trumpys, you aren't real big on supplying proof to back your statements up.
So blah, blah, blah on your numbers. I used the same criteria they did.
there aren't millions of scientists directly involved in climate studies and research. only a few scientific disciples are qualified to do the research. do you think there are millions of physicists, mathematicians and applied science researchers doing this? not a chance.
you might get just under 1 million physicists worldwide total. not all are doing research in climate change. most aren't involved at all. they are doing other types of work completely unrelated.
According to an article from Physics Today[1], there is a range between 372,000 and 964,000 based on national physics society membership from the 34 most populous counties and adjusting for the estimated total world population.
and just because you read Physics Today or belong to a Physics society doesn't mean you have at least a BS in Physics.
so Einstein, how many actual physicists, mathematicians and applied science are doing climate research full or part time world wide?
i doubt there are 150,000 world wide.
