To be fair, Bill Nye didnt actually say people should be eliminated by their governments to save the environment and the planet. He did say that there are too many people and parents, at least in the developed world, should be punished for having too many children:
The season finale of pop scientist Bill Nye's new Netflix show "Bill Nye Saves the World" suggested that the government should punish people who have too many children, for the sake of the environment.Yes, his remarks are perilously close to advocating eugenics. It is a short trip from deciding how many children people should be allowed to have to deciding who gets to have children at all. It bears a striking resemblance to Chinaa one-child policy, which included sterilization and forced abortion. Chinas one-child policy, instituted by the Communist government in the late 1970s to stem rising population, compels couples in urban areas to have just one child and limits couples in rural areas to two children if the first child is a girl, as girls are seen as having lesser value than boys in some parts of the Asian nation. As Investors Business Daily editorialized, John Holdren, President Obamas science adviser, agreed with Bill Nye that too many people were a problem that needed to be dealt with:"The average Nigerian emits 0.1 metric tons of carbon annually," noted Nye's guest, Dr. Travis Rieder. "How many does the average American emit? Sixteen metric tons."
Rieder said Americans having an average of two children are "waaaay more problematic" than Nigerians having seven when it comes to preventing global warming.
"Should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?" Nye asked.
I do think we should at least consider it," Rieder said.
Nye pushed him even further.
"Well, at least consider it' is like, do it,'" he opined.
The other two guests pushed back, however, pointing out that what Nye and Rieder were proposing came dangerously close to the eugenics policies of America's past, which ending up disproportionately targeting poor women and minorities.
This administration supports draconian actions to fight climate change. In 2007, at climate change talks in Vienna, Su Wei, a senior Chinese Foreign Ministry official, boasted that China's one-child policy had reduced China's population at that point by some 300 million human beings, roughly equal to the U.S. population.Hillary Clintons idol, and founder of Planned Parenthood, had her particular idea on which children should be allowed to be born. As J. Kenneth Blackwell, writing in the Washington Times, noted, those who chant black lives matter obviously exclude the abortion rate of black babies that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and the KKK could only dream of:Avoiding those 300 million births "means we averted 1.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2005," based on average world per capital emissions of 4.2 tons, he said.
John Holdren, the president's top science adviser, has no quarrel with this barbarism, seeing it as necessary to fight global warming and resource depletion. Even the U.S. Constitution can't stand in his way.
In a previous book, "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," co-authored with Thomas Malthus fans Paul and Anne Ehrlich, Holdren writes that large families "contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children" and "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility."
On page 837, he writes, it has "been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
138,539 black babies, nearly one baby in three, were killed in the womb in 2010. According to the CDC, between 2007 and 2010, innocent black babies were victimized in nearly 36 percent of the abortion deaths in the United States, though blacks represent only 12.8 percent of the population. Some say the abortion capital of America is New York City. According to LifeSiteNews, the citys Department of Health reported that in 2012, more black babies were aborted (31,328) than born (24,758). Thats 55.9 percent of black babies killed before birth. Blacks represented 42.4 percent of all abortions.This is a disturbing and tragic situation that continues unabated and is the fulfillment of the dream of Hillary Clintons heroine Margaret Sanger. As Blackwell also noted:

Bill Nye: 16 metric tons of waste every year. Bill, your continued existence proves that you value your own miserable polluted life more than the planet.
Do the right thing, Bill.
Exactly
Isn’t America great?
Source for this info? Had not heard it before now, and I live in the Seattle area from whence Nye hails.
Sex selected abortion is common in India, too, to the point of an estimated 40-60 million missing girls.
The problem is spreading through secular “stans” like Azerbijan where they don’t have the Islamic prohibition against abortion and retain a preference for boys.
Also being seen in Asian immigrants to Canada and America, since they can only afford 2 or so children and make sure one is a boy.
The interesting thing was uploading the 20 year old educational content to Netflix - but editing out the science now politically incorrect.
Bwahahaha
Delusion runs deep on The Left
Bkmk
