Which always make me bristle. Anyone who studies science is, by definition, a scientist.
And what is the definition of science? The systematic study of the world.
And a scientist is someone who studies the natural world or has training in the sciences (of which engineering is one of these sciences)
And how does one do this? Why using a systematic approach with a little thing called the scientific method.
Failing to grasp these basic principles illustrates the problems we face. People are uneducated and don't care. They dismiss science rather than accept truths.
You want to debate the causes of climate change? Go right ahead. But when the evidence suggests there are changes in climate - more (and more destructive) storms, patterns that are outside of the norms for when winter starts, ocean temperature rise, so changes to ice sheets - those are things that are demonstrably happening. And we can and should study them and understand the consequences and act accordingly.
Put aside your conspiracies or thoughts of some kind of deep state. And act in our own best interests, as humans who exist on this planet.
Of course, that's just one example. There are more things like that to consider.
Go out. Observe. Take notes. Learn. Grow. Maybe try a simple experiment yourself just to see how easy it is to study something and draw a conclusion.
