Weather Channel founder trashes Bill Nye as 'pretend scientist'

Weather Channel founder John Coleman doesn't think much of Bill Nye "The Science Guy." Coleman took Nye to the woodshed over a clip he recorded that aired over the weekend criticizing the soon to be released documentary Climate Hustle.

“I have always been amazed that anyone would pay attention to Bill Nye, a pretend scientist in a bow tie,” Mr. Coleman said Saturday on the website Climate Depot.

“As a man who has studied the science of meteorology for over 60 years and received the [American Meteorological Society] Meteorologist of the Year award, I am totally offended that Nye gets the press and media attention he does,” Mr. Coleman said. “And I am rooting for the ‘Climate Hustle’ film to become a huge hit — bigger than ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ by Al Gore.”

I hope the fence sitters will see Climate Hustle. I don't think the true DENIERS will bother due to lack of need for re-affirmation of what they already know. The true believers won't see it because they refuse to accept anyone's counter argument to what the "know" to be truth and the evils of humans. If they really cared, they'd hasten their departure to save the planet. Guess they don't quite believe that much do they. As for me, I'll keep doing my part to help delay another ice age.

Nye is a creep. He even looks creepy. An escapee from the Star Wars cantina scene.

Nye is a mechanical engineer by training, and a BS at that. He has zero environmental, meteorological, or climate training. Yet we are supposed to listen to his global warming screeds as gospel?

Well he did have a tv show didn’t he? Kinda like the internet. If you see it there, it’s gotta be true.

Bravo, Mr. Coleman! Although you must be an outlier at the network you founded since I always thought The Weather Channel was beating the Glow-bull Warming drum as hard as anyone.

Rick Moran couldn't help but take a pot-shot at The Donald, though. But, all in all, that sanctimonious pipsqueak Bill Nye needed to be taken down a few notches.

He’s also a big-time evolutionist.

Global warming and evolution:

the brutish twin sisters of “settled science”.

Nye just strikes me as one of those people like Bill Cosby who has some dark, dire secret waiting to be exposed.

Why not? We have a pretend president in a Brooks Bros. suit with nicely creased pants.

I must admit that I am shocked that John Coleman has said this given the fact that The Weather Channel personnel have always seemed to push the “Climate Change” narrative.

Hey! I’m a BSME. What’s so bad about that? I think it’s pretty damn good.

Indeed, Nye is no expert in this precise field.

While I’m no fan of Bill Nye or the climate change crowd, I do have to say that I should be offended that just because his diploma was a BS that he, and others like him, can’t be self educated in meteorology or any other discipline. From the BBT, we constantly hear Sheldon put Howard down because he doesn’t have a PhD, only a Masters in Engineering, as though that makes someone lessor in capability. I think that Bill Nye’s bow tie is on too tight and has cut the oxygen from getting to his brain, but that doesn’t mean that an engineer can’t also be well versed, and self taught, in any of the sciences.
