Bill Nye blows gasket when a real scientist schools him on facts about ‘climate change’

Troll Alert!

“Happer’s a physicist not a climatologist; his views on climate change are bought and paid for by the Energy lobby”

Are you a bot?

CO2 is not converted to oxygen. The oxygen in the atmosphere is a by-product of plant metabolism,

(sigh) Okay. Fine.

Happened to see this live while channel surfing, and it was great. Nye, a skinny version of Algore, was unable to counter any of the very well presented points of the physicist, so he filibustered to keep Dr. Happer from getting more time. Nye is a fake scientist, who has no background in science, but is ‘’deemed” one by the Democrat media because he played on on a long-ago kids’ TV show. Typical.

Prove it.

I trust Bill Nye to lead me on science issues just as much as I trust Captain Kangaroo to pilot my cruise ship thru a field of ice bergs.

Still, Nye spouted his talking points and lectured Happer for being a “climate change denier.”

This is the polite way that a Globull Warming alarmist calls someone a Nazi.

The guy has a history of taking money in exchange for talking about how great CO2 is for the environment (not even his field ) as long as those ‘donations’ can be kept quiet.

"Troll Alert! ...Are you a bot?"

I went back and read Number's posting history. While I don't necessarily agree with all the points made throughout, they're all well-reasoned and researched posts. I don't think he/she is either a troll or a bot.

Please don't succumb to the growing trend on here of making knee-jerk reactionary posts when someone casts doubt on a premise.

The irony here is: it's exactly what Bill Nye is doing in the interview.

I certainly reacted to the notion that skeptics are on the secret payroll of Big Oil.

I also believe that geologists, physicists, et al have a perfect right to speak publicly on matters of physical science.

If CAGW climatology is more than a charlatan’s guild, then let it be scientifically transparent, as all other serious disciplines are. Open the data!

Computer models? Paugh!

American-style Lysenkoism is still bullsh*t.

What exactly is wrong with that?

Are you saying that his opinion on CO2 was formed in order to cash in on money from oil companies? Or could it be that he had this opinion first and was then able to make money off of it?

Furthermore, I don’t see how certain aspects of climatology would not be in his field considering that he is a physicist. My background in nuclear engineering. I know enough about radiation to see that most “climatologists” don’t seem to really understand electromagnetic radiation. Yet they have no problem tossing around the term infrared to the public as if it’s just this one specific thing and not a spectrum.

Also, I would take whatever was written in The Nation with a grain of salt. Doubtful you are getting the whole truth from that agenda-filled progressive publication.

“...The guy has a history of taking money in exchange for talking...”

Hmmm... let’s extend that logic:

Do you think there is a HISTORY of Nye getting paid to be on these programs?

Or, do you think there is a HISTORY of Algore (perchance one of your heroes?) getting paid to give his speeches?

CNN had two hack ‘scientists’ on for their ‘debate’, neither with any scientific credibility in the field they were debating - which is probably why they were on CNN!

A physicist is far more qualified to speak on the effects of CO2 on climate than an engineer. I'm a biochemist, and I am also far more qualified to speak on the effects of CO2. That is because CO2 is a chemical and obeys immutable physical principles. Both physicists and chemists understand the physical properties of atoms and molecules because they have studied these subjects for years. Being a biochemist, I have also studied biology, and so can discuss the crucial role of CO2 in maintaining life on earth.

I’m a biochemist. I value precision when speaking of scientific matters.

And why, exactly, would CO2 *not* be good for the environment? Do you know what would happen if the "global warming" alarmists successfully found a way to remove CO2 from the air?

CO2 is essential for life. Every living thing is composed of carbon-based molecules, which are made from CO2.

My husband, an actual Scientist, says that Nye is considered “bogus” and “a hack” among legit scientists. A joke. As far as he knows, the guy has never been published in a peer-review situation or done any serious work.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So, this faux scientist is who the Gore indoctrinated snowflakes come up with to defend their climate scam? Pitiful!

"So when Bill Nye boils eggs, does he heat the water with a hair dryer ?"

Lol! That made me think that perhaps the "science guy" has a bunch of rube goldberg devices all over his house.
