Critical thinking skills: The 5 techniques of sciences denial by John Cook 3/10

“TV star Leonardo DiCaprio has been producing documentaries on climate change for decades and is a trusted expert on climate change.”

Explanation: A well-known figure, such as a celebrity or a non-scientist with a high media profile, who publicly disputes established climate science despite lacking relevant expertise in climatology, meteorology, or related fields. For instance, if a popular TV personality with no scientific background claims that climate change is a myth and their views are presented as credible, this would be an example of a fake expert.
