Just had to come back to add a quote from the USA Weekend article I mentioned above:

(Miami Heat General Manager) Randy Pfund… is knowledgeable about the environment because he taught high school geography before beginning a career in basketball.

Amazing.

He was identified as person who would know about global warming because -- I'm not kidding -- he used to teach high school geo-GRAPHY(!!). No typo there. He taught high school geography, he is now answering questions about global warming. Fortunately he was not spewing energy industry propaganda. But it shows you what the people behind USA Weekend think qualifies one as an authority figure. I have a conservation biology degree, so next weekend my article about earthquakes will be featured in USA Weekend.
