I strongly believe that when a scientist comes up with BS like this they should be stripped of their title and barred from academia forever.. what a flipping idiot (I didnt realise the forum had a swear filter)ruthlessimon wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 8:40 pm"Dr Young-hae Chi, a professor at Oxford, believes there is a strong correlation between climate change and alien abductions."

My view is that when a scientist comes up with a crazy idea and writes a book about it, the primary focus is to sell the book, the idea has to be new and different from the mainstream, and his ideas and research are fueled by book sales rather than genuine beliefs. But this guy is really taking the piss. He's either having us on or he's completely bonkers!

I wonder if the powers that be at Oxford pulled him aside and asked him to tone it down?! There must be some sort of protocol for when Professors talk about people and aliens shagging?!
SAS soldiers have to sign a contract not to give secret aspects of their combat methods away, as so many have done after leaving the service. Perhaps university professors should likewise be contractually obliged not to publish anything that may tarnish the university. Obviously they won't be too proud of this idiot.
