This is clearly demonstrated through out a recent Salon.com interview with Bjorn, and was especially telling in the discussion of Bjorn's use of polar bears. Here is a response to the writer quoting one expert's opinion (a front-line researcher in polar bears). "OK. But I've talked to a different expert that's up in Greenland, who works for the Danish government, and he has looked over my chapter, and said that it's OK." If only all experts were equal.
