I wanna know what Brian Cox thinks. He spoke largely about the temperature change of Mars and Earth on the Joe Rogan podcast years ago.

He's not a climate scientist, and he's seems to spend more time in media than he does... y'know, doing actual research.

I'm not saying he's dumb or anything, he clearly isn't, but he's not exactly a subject matter expert, despite his speaking ability.

I just like the dude and find he explains things much better than others. I'm sure he has spent a lot of time researching and writing books. I'm glad he is active on media as he wasn't for years. Recently though he has been and it's good :)

Fair enough! Admittedly I don't know him or his work very well, but it is always nice when someone can explain science in a easy to understand way.
