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.

We would need to gather several thousand years worth of data to have even the slightest idea whether man-made climate change was really occurring.
This thirty-year snapshot thing is a FRAUD, and they know it.
As a despicable FAKE scientist he is a success. It is shocking how many people think he is an expert scientist on everything. What a fraud, unethical loser and general degenerate.
Amen, Bill, you are!
By definition, a BSME (which I believe is the degree he earned) IS a science degree. So not sure that arguing that aspect is valid. Not that I agree with the nut.
No - you are just not a scientist.
If you watched him as speedwalker on almost live, there was one episode where he was speed walking in thin shorts, apparently without undies. Things were flopping around down there. Brain bleach required...
Bill Nye meet Hillary Clinton.
Considering he is not an actual scientist, but an actor, he shouldn’t be so hard on himself.
I would argue the opposite. The industry has done NOTHING to protect its own interests in this regard. You think they would, but they haven’t.
Didn’t take a climate/rocket scientist to figure that out...
Just couldn’t milk global warming for $ like Al Gore does.
That year without a summer just blew right by them unnoticed.
I would love to know what Nye’s grades were in mechanical engineering thermodynamics? (He has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell.)
He must have been stoned most of the time!
The comments on the “weirder” article are interesting. I’m sure the media is pro Nye as he is a moonbat.
By definition, a BSME ....
I have a Professional degree also but I never thought it as a science degree as it was not in the science department. I was qualified to take the EIT exam to become an engineer.
And you’re ugly too, Bill!
Nye should have listened to a real scientist.
bill nye VAGINA guy?
