Do you realize that professors can have other jobs on top of teaching/research? Also, him being a professor does not mean that he is not or cannot be wrong or biased.

I have had many profs that taught stuff that was not in line with the textbook or broadly accepted principles. This is especially common when you are dealing with things that are not fully understood, like exactly what is causing global warming. I even had a prof that, according to some internet sources, participated in nationally covered bribery scandals.
