Environmental scientists and biologists investigate air pollution in an area and predict possible health issues that will affect the population. Having scientists with different backgrounds and expertise investigating the same situation means that there can be differing or competing inferences and explanations.

How will this affect the predictions made by the group of scientists?

Question

Environmental scientists and biologists investigate air pollution in an area and predict possible health issues that will affect the population. Having scientists with different backgrounds and expertise investigating the same situation means that there can be differing or competing inferences and explanations.

How will this affect the predictions made by the group of scientists?

It will strengthen the prediction by adding new perspectives and ideas for experiments.

 It will strengthen the prediction by adding more opinions from which to choose.

 It will weaken the prediction by adding confusion with too many different opinions.

 It will weaken the prediction by producing conflict and competition between the scientists

could be either A or B

In an ideal world having a group of true scientists investigating a problem from different angles should produces a better outcome. This happens nearly every day in real science where collaboration produces great science.

I once worked in a pure Chemistry group which shared information with a Biology group and we got some fine outcomes. But this was away from the politics of the Environment where many other factors come into play.

For one all sorts of people are calling themselves scientists ?? We have a fellow in Australia who is a paleontologist running around making all sorts of predictions. The media love him and he was made Australian of the year. A great media performer but not a scientist. Similar to Al Gore and David Suzuki .. show ponies ..

And what is pollution ?? The media are now calling carbon dioxide emission carbon pollution ? Crazy stuff 

The latest Australian of the year is a true scientist and a Noble prize winner . he is hoping to see improvements in Science education .. we must all agree.

When people can make sense of the hysterical scare stories on the ABC and Fairfax press we may get to the ideal world your question implies .. we should have better prediction when scientists work together and that will happen again once this silly era is over and the media move on to something else.
