Respectfully disagree that it’s a good idea to chalk things up to ignorance and ignore it. I hate to go down the whole ‘in a democracy… informed electorate… yada yada’ thing so we can table that… but if you want to be taken seriously and not just get an agreeing nod from buddies at the bar or at the barbershop then I’d say it’s important for respectful critique as to bend your statements closer to the accurate truth. In this case, not a climate scientist, but it’s actually a major difference (climate vs weather). Like the difference between the type of car and the specific model. I’m sure you could come up with a major difference in your specialties that appear to an outsider superficial.
