IMO, the only ones that Nye fooled were little children....
The children , yes .. and
the people whose only news comes in 30 seconds of sound bites
who have the memory retention of a gnat !
also called : "The Democratic Party voter base" !
I noticed that most of the snow is now gone in Minnesota due to what must be global warming...... It was just recently we had loads of snow.

I prefer “scientaster”, but could warm up to the winning entry, “scidolator”. The former could refer to the priests, the latter to the laity.
Love the title....nails him.
Yeah, it’s global warming, all right. I notice it every year about this time.
Book Mark
“Perhaps Mr. Nye and these Australian researchers should discuss what factors other than carbon dioxide actually cause climate and weather fluctuations.”
Legitimate scientists know that climate and weather are dynamic systems with a large amount of variables, many of which we haven’t even identified. It is mathematically impossible for us to model those kind of systems with any real accuracy. We cannot even create proper mathematical models of the motion of the bodies in our solar system, and that involves a lot fewer variables, and all of them are known to us.
Mars is one of the largest privately held companies in the US and is operating around the world.
Mars is not the first nor the last company to do this. Many have and many more will.
You need to get on the phone an call Mars and tell them that you are an expert and they are ignorant fools if they think burning fossil fuels causes global warming.
Another one you can call is Steelcase, the largest manufacturer of file cabinets
You can find lists of companies who have already shifted 100% to renewables or have shifted as much as technically feasible. They all think that burning fossil fuels causes global warming.
Call all of them and tell them all that you are highly educated and know more about than they do.
You need to stop hanging around Free Republic preaching to the choir. You need to go out into the real world where policy decisions are being made.
Lies would go nowhere without people to believe them.
“To your average dope 20-something, he is greater than Newton.”
Newton only paved the way for what we call classical physics and laid the foundations of calculus before the age of 30. Moreover, he was a devout Christian. That makes him irrelevant.
Bill Nye is on TV and doesn’t seem to believe in God! That makes him better! He doesn’t believe in any magic, man!!! No magic, dude!!!!
(sarcasm and heavy drug use implied)
“Bill Nye is just another comedian ...”
Seriously, you are exactly right. My first recollection of Bill Nye was from Seattle’s KING TV, Channel 5 about 20 years ago. They ran a locally-produced comedy show called “Almost Live” which followed “Saturday Night Live”. Nye was a member of the cast. He did “Science Guy”, “Speed Walker” and some others.
The “science community” did not mind putting on humorous faces in order to tell scientific truths as understood by the most conscientious scientists. Anyone who remembers the set of Bell Telephone Laboratories science films, for example, would know about that.
The problem isn’t the style, the problem is when it’s hijacked by people who aren’t even trying to do good science in any sense of the word. Bill Nye is NOT the Bell Telephone Laboratories guy! He is an impostor.
I agree 100% with your reply.
Truth is the goal of Human Nature. We are predisposed from birth to seek the truth. Every parent recalls their toddler constantly asking why. Our failure, as a whole of society, has been parents and even some Christian parents replying with either “Because I said so” or “Because the Bible says so”. It’s an “Appeal to Authority” out of sheer laziness or incompetence.
As a result, IMHO, we have lost multiple generations of young minds that have rejected the Familiar Paternalism and are replacing it with a type of Social Paternalism that is being exploited by virtually every institution including our present Government.
These young and now older minds are being conditioned through “Social Acceptance” to literally, believe in nothing and anything at the same time.
They have no foundations for their beliefs.
When I got into heated debates/discussions with my liberal Ex-Girl, I would ask her “What do you own?”, “What do you know to be true?”. This question would more often than not end with her literally physically attacking me. Cognitive dissonance is what I was after,(I got it) and I’m still set aside by the fear these liberals have to the truth.
It’s irrational and borderline insane.
And now they are finding comfort in science. Quantum Physics and its “Uncertainty” is finding a home with the Humanists who are basically Buddhists that ultimately believe that they are their own GOD.
Read or watch Joseph Campbell.

And the young minds they influence;
No Science, No Logic and No Morality: Atheism.

These people are not Stupid. They are using every possible tool they can create to reject Creation/God, so they can conduct themselves in whatever way they feel.
They have no foundations for their beliefs.

They reject all foundations of belief as being biased, they reject their own human nature.
They claim and believe that Truth is relative.
It’s no wonder they have found Gaia as their religion.
I suggest, as in Travis’s perspective, to zoom out a bit to see the forest, not just the trees.
Zoom out till you can see the Garden of Eden.
Any semblance of good morality (let alone godliness) that exists today is NOT by any human merit, and to talk as if to insinuate that humans could manage to merit it, is to talk in falsehood. A huge dose of humility is in order, which sends us all to our knees before a gracious and merciful Lord who, however, will not excuse. Get it right unto an end goal of perfect holiness (with all the help needed by My Son)... or else go to hell. No other choice.
I think you misunderstood my comments.
I’m looking at the forest and while I know objective morality exists, I see more and more trees that don’t.
They can’t even predict the weather forecast for tomorrow and they want to tell us what it will be like in 100 years.
Sciencologists.
I did enjoy his Speed Walker and COPS of Ballard sketches.
