True...it does not make him THE authority.
But his views are certainly mine.

""Clearly what those editors couldn’t fathom was that Bryson simply enjoys mulling over the reasons weather and climate behave as they do and what might make them—and consequently us—behave differently. This was immediately obvious when we asked him why, at his age, he keeps showing up for work at a job he’s no longer paid to do.""

An unbiased opinion....that is important to me.
Too many experts are paid to twist and turn their opinions to suit the payer.
