ChuckB,
In that case that geologist is now then a climatologist or paleoclimatologist by training and education and not merely some earth science geek talking outside his specialty which is what it sounded like you were promoting. Thanks for clarifying!

Oh do enlighten us on how that works! Words have meaning do they not?
A paleoclimatologist who is an expert on geology is then more than merely a climatologist, no?
As someone else already pointed out, most paleoclimatologists are geologists who specialize in the more ancient records of climate in rocks. The few climatologists I've met had backgrounds in atmospheric science and only worked with more recent proxies, such as tree rings and oxygen isotope ratios. The intervals of interest for these two specialties now overlap due to changes in technology, but there are still experts on both sides that know more about the other side than the average practitioner.
