Don't know, ask a scientist, they really do exist.

They all speak sciencese. It is possible for scientists to communicate across disciplines, most take more than the courses required to understand their field of interest, and many have multiple degrees in overlapping areas.

It's a general description of professionals from many different scientific disciplines. List of climate scientists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And yes, they really do exist and so does their work, if you want to disappear down some intellectual rabbit hole of your own invention then...
