Bill Nye took to Twitter to blame man-made global warming for flooding across Northern California that claimed at least three lives over the weekend.
Nye, who rarely misses a chance to link extreme weather to human activities, suggested California’s flooding meant we’d be better off not pulling out of the United Nations Paris agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
President-elect Donald Trump promised to “cancel” the Paris agreement the Obama administration signed in 2016. The Senate never voted on the agreement.

It is not as if California did not need the rain. They did. In buckets. Still not enough.
The sun could burn out at anytime so your “son” <-HA! get it? should be looking for another job to study the global cooling that will result....
I'm looking in to it as I distinctly remember hearing this - I was at the magic shop in the Pike Place Market must have been March or April of 1995. I made some reference to Bill Nye I think it was in regards to refuting some nonsense he saying about acid rain or the ozone hole (this was before global warming) using Dixie Lee Ray's book Trashing the Planet.
Anyhow the person I was talking to said - "You know Bill was in a prono film?". To which I said "Really,no way Speed Walker?" - they stood by the claim and I thought it was funny and man some people will do anything to be on T.V. -
I bet if its true folks in Disney would know. In fact didn't something he was going to do get axed by Disney way back when ...hmmm going to have to engage more gray cells as Google doesn't contain everything.
Trying to track down the person who told me this - bit of a long shot.
However this is not something I pulled entirely out of my whatchamacallit
Bill Nye, the fake science guy. At one point, he was trying to make it as a stand up comedian, and created his “Science Guy” persona as part of his comedy routine.
Bill Nye is not a scientist.
He also blames the drought on global warming.
He probably blames witches for sour milk.
No. They need the water.
Dear Science Guy:
STFU you freaking idiot!
Sincerely

At least he was funny as “Speed Walker”. Shoulda quit while he was ahead.
Were you around circa 1973 or so? We got a lot of snow, down to sea level here in the SF Bay Area. I won't forget it, because my car had broken down, was in the shop and I was hitchhiking to get to and from college. Had to trudge along in the snow for a couple miles, and didn't get picked up. It also snowed once in early 1960s, perhaps 1961 or so. We had a couple brief dustings since, last one in early 2000s. This weather thing cycles between cold and hot, wet and dry, mild and stormy, and man has nothing to do with it.
I was around, but to tell you that this happened in 1972 and that happened in 1973, well, the neurons that recorded that info got “smoked” shall we say, a long time ago!
Thanks for the tip on visiting the Black Hills, I'd like to take my grandkids there. I was helping one last week with a play archaeology set I bought for her that had her chiseling away a cast brick containing "gem" stones. She loved doing that.
I blame Bill Nye’s parents.
TY :D
Grandchildren are a special blessing. I took two of mine to the Mammoth Dig last year. They had blast with paint brushes, cleaning the fossils.
Izzat Bill Nye, the junior high school “science” guy?
Wikipedia: Nye began his professional entertainment career as a writer/actor on a local sketch comedy television show in Seattle, Washington, called Almost Live! The host of the show, Ross Shafer, suggested he do some scientific demonstrations in a six-minute segment, and take on the nickname “The Science Guy”.[14] His other main recurring role on Almost Live! was as Speedwalker, a speedwalking Seattle superhero.
“...no reason to denigrate Engineers. Many of whom are qualified to speak on climate issues.””
Ironically, the only engineers who are qualified to speak on climate issues are those who know they don’t know enough to speculate.
Such storms happen periodically in Northern California. Recent droughts minimized them, for awhile, until this year when the El Nino/La Nina cycle shifted and delivered more moisture laden weather to California.
We know Bill, it goes without saying. FReepers were probably stating it long before the NOT climate scientist Bill Nye revealed his “findings”.
