Bill Nye seems to think he has failed to reach people with his demand for urgent action on climate change, but he blames others for creating the conditions which led to his failure.
Bill Nye on his climate change education efforts: “I am a failure”
“The Science Guy” looks back on his 1990s TV show, and why climate change education has not reflected policy change
Between hosting “Bill Nye the Science Guy” and serving as CEO of The Planetary Society, Bill Nye’s career as a science educator means he is also, inherently, an activist when it comes to combating climate change.
Nye joined Jeremy Binckes on “Salon Talks” to discuss his efforts raising awareness around climate change over the years, and to scoop a new documentary film that chronicles his rise from lively children’s show host to national science defender and advocate.
“I am a failure!” Nye exclaimed when reflecting back on the shows he created over two decades ago about the Earth’s warming.
Nye blamed the fossil fuel industry for creating the schism between climate deniers and believers, saying “they have worked so hard to introduce doubt.” He went on to say that he believed climate change was discovered in the 1970s, “and we’ve done virtually nothing about it all this time.”

Every time you read an assertion that people only doubt because the “fossil fuel industry” has created doubt, in my opinion you are seeing first hand the utter contempt climate enthusiasts have for people’s ability to weigh the evidence for themselves.

Something we can all agree on, Bill.
Must be. Never heard of him.

No Billy, You’re a dink and a failure.
What exactly do you expect when you lie about the weather and people’s sexes? Then insult everyone that doesn’t believe your lies? He gets no sympathy from me.
LOLOLOLOL! Manbearpig has been at it a lot longer and managed to become very wealthy pushing his climate BS. So, yes bill, you are a failure and you know what you should do.
Seems to be a common democrat theme of late.

Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
Real scientists specialize in doubt and skepticism.
Religious fanatics like to tell you what they believe.
Global Warming isn't science. It's a religion.
Bill Nye is an actor. “Bill Nye the Science Guy” is a character in a sketch comedy show (Almost Live) created by Ross Shafer. Because the actor Bill Nye plays a scientist in a sketch comedy show, it does not make him any more genuine than it makes John Belushi into a Samurai.

There is nothing more destructive to science than a notion such as this:

>>He went on to say that he believed climate change was discovered in the 1970s
Really? Pretty sure the Dinosaurs discovered it a looooong time before that.
But yeah - you ARE a failure, primarily because you’re a Useful Idiot who participated in the betrayal and subversion of science.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
If you had a degree in science it might have helped.
Bill Nye, the Sock Puppet Guy.
Scaring the bejesus out of kindergarteners who think all the baby and mommy polar bears are dying is no way to live your life, you fraud.
Children who have no belief in God and have never heard the Bible’s comforting words, “O Lord, you preserve man and beast,” (Ps. 36:6) and His promise that “ As long as the earth endures, there will be seedtime and harvest, hot and cold, summer and winter.” (Gen. 8:22). Children grow up brainwashed and hopeless in their assigned task of saving the world. Many commit suicide. The Climate Change religion gives no comfort.
I am tired of this “denier” moniker for anyone who doesn’t think the world is ending over CO2 emissions.
The single biggest problem with the man made global warming tribe is that they consistently misrepresent the facts, and engage in demagoguery and utter hyperbole. None of their claims match factual reality, and the overwhelming majority of their claims don’t even match what the scientists who claim its happening have said.
Yes, mankind burns a lot of stuff, and yes, that burning of things does put C02 into the atmosphere... and yes, there is no doubt CO2 levels have been rising... Those are undeniable facts... Is that CO2 increase affecting climate? and to what degree? Well that’s where things start to fall apart.
It is possible that increased CO2 has an impact on climate, but to what extent? Well so far, none of their doom and gloom scenarios have come anywhere near true.. Not even their more modest predictions have come true.
Rational sane people are not going to radically alter their behavior, when every prediction made has been completely wrong.... Even the most modest claims of Climate Scientists (not the alarmist and extremists) have not come to pass. All the evidence implies that if human emissions are affecting the climate, its impact is very, very miniscule and does not pose any major threat to life on earth, let alone the major changes the alarmist desire and claim must happen to end it.
