HA, I caught a quick quip on CNN of Bill Nye the "Science" guy on Tuesday.

After smugly pontificating about man-made climate changeTM, he started to criticize CNN's weatherman for being a "Denier."

I guess the weatherman wanted to keep his job.

Plant more trees. Let icebergs melt a little more so more ocean to absorb co2

The sun spot minimum is going to cause cooling and CNN is not mentioning it.

Let's be clear: Climate Change® is about political, not empirical, science.

Forty thousand years ago CO2 levels spiked as global temperatures warmed. Why? In part, due to CO2 that was released from the oceans as temperatures rose. CO2 is more soluble in cold water.

So basically to sum this up.

He eventually succumbed to the Human Caused warming scam because he believes the fake temperature numbers made up by environment nuts.

2010 was a turning point for me. That year was the hottest year on record,...

using NOAA data.....

It already is causing cooling, especially in the North Atlantic. Real scientists (as opposed to the politically motivated AGW crowd) have noticed this cooling and are concerned.

The reality is that a slightly warmer planet would be a GOOD thing. A colder planet is a BAD thing. Example: Some decent analysis shows that a cooling period helped precipitate the Dark Ages, and moving out of that cooling period helped precipitate the Renaissance.

”… the increased heat content of the Earth.” ???

Where is the scientific proof of this?

The only way they could stop any so called Human Influence on the Climate:

1. Kill off Humanity

2.

Last I heard all the climate computer models predict warming in the upper atmosphere over the equator which isn't happening. The earth may be in a warming spell but I don't think there is evidence that CO2 levels are the cause.

The last ice age certainly didn't end due to human caused global warming. Something else was at work.

MYERS: And they said less than 50% of meteorologists on TV believe in global warming. I tell you, I believe the globe is warming. I believe man has a lot to do with it, maybe not everything, but a lot to do with it...... The globe is warming, trust me on this one, we know we're losing ice caps.

That quote from him was from March 30, 2010 so I think he is miss-representing his "switch" quite a bit..also known as lying.

let’s not be hasty here...maybe if we all just went back to being native Americans, living in peaceful harmony with each other, frolicking in the woods and communing with birds and the beasts...

I won’t even give CNN the click. This article would not even be published if it did not have one specific ending.

“Early in my scientific studies at Nebraska, most believed that humans could never pollute this massive globe enough to make a measurable difference.”

most believed that humans could never pollute this massive globe

STOP right there! At this point this guy needs not say one more word. This is almost correct.

Let me fix it..... humans could never pollute this massive globe.

He then uses the term “meteorologists” another liberal substitute word for WEATHERMEN. We all know how accurate “weathermen” are.

He then goes on to say how his skepticism of man made global warming was turned into belief in man made global warming.

The problem with his conversion is that he quotes ZERO EVIDENCE. He says (no proof) it isn’t this and it isn’t that so it MUST BE MAN.

What a scientist. /s

I will not listen to any nonsense about man made global warming until someone disproves the original Greenland ice cores proving that CO2 levels began increasing BEFORE the industrial revolution.

Prove that WRONG, don’t show me OTHER evidence, prove THAT evidence wrong.
