Bill Nye has a b.s. degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University. Nye began his career in Seattle at Boeing, where, among other things, he starred in training films and developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor for the 747. Later, he worked as a consultant in the aeronautics industry.
That is the extent of his professional scientific background. As “Bill Nye the Science Guy”, he was an entertainer, not a scientist.
Absolutely nothing in his background about climate science, climatology or meteorology. So his opinions on the matter are no more or less than “experts” who talk about alien visitors to Earth.
Water vapor is the worst greenhouse gas of all.
Bill Nye thoroughly debunks the climate change skeptics: “The heart of socialism cries out for justice against these vicious animals, the climate-change deniers! There is only one punishment suitable for them! I demand that these mad dogs be shot! Every last one of them!”
‘Speed Walker’ is full of sh*t. Nye is a comedian and a chronic attention whore; why take him seriously?
“The single most important thing we can do now is talk about climate change”
The single most important thing we can do right now is laugh at idiots like Bill Nye.
The solution is what Nye wants - a global socialist/Marxist government with a dear leader to control all human life and resources. He can kiss my patootie.
Salon is concentrated idiocy.
The single most important thing we can do now is start shooting Islamists. Man caused "climate change" is utter garbage.
Bill Nye, The Lyin’ Guy...
Bill Nye is a China Denier, and an Islam Denier.
Neither of those two entities give a rip about Bill’s pet hobbyhorse.
and even that is a small percentage of the actual atmosphere- here again there would need to be a thick continuous blanket of water vapor over the world in order to bounce enough heat back to earth to cause any kind of change in daily temps- and this obviously isn’t the case, the vast majority of the atmosphere has no cloud cover at any given moment- meaning most the heat escaping the planet has nothing I n the atmosphere to prevents it’s complete escape
Bill Nye has a degree in electrical engineering.
Wait, he does? Hmmm. I might have to give him more consideration...
I believe it is a mechanical engineering degree.
Ah hah! I knew it! Ignore him!
The stupid burns hot in this goofball. Toward the end of the article, he speaks of the US building the best solar panels and the best wind turbines. Here’s the rub, none of the raw materials to build these technological miracles comes by was of green energy. The steel and the glass, along with all the tubing and electronics come to life using fossil fuels. Without fossil fuels, green energy can’t produce enough power to ring an alarm clock to get you up in the morning. I would bet that in the lifetime of wind turbine, it doesn’t generate enough power to replace all that went into creating the turbine and all that went into its birth.
Social Justice Warriors.
SALON!
Islam doesn't gives a rip about "climate change" - but it WILL saw Nye's head off, and the heads of the rest of his climate SJWs, when Islam outbreeds the stoopids in the West.
The left doesn’t actually believe in evolution. They use it as a shibboleth for secular materialism. In fact, the left’s view of human nature, derived from Rousseau and Marx, has even less in common with the account of human nature derived from a thoroughgoing embrace of neo-Darwinism than does the view of human nature grounded in direct Creation and the Fall. Fallen Man when he gives himself over to the passions is remarkably ape-like. And whether one takes Genesis straight, Darwin straight, or harmonizes them as most Jews and most adherents of Christian confessions that existed before 1500 do, there is no support for the left’s project of perfecting Man by perfecting society to be found in the gloomy view of human nature (in the absence of Grace) provided by any of those accounts.
Nor does the left actually believe in anthropogenic climate change, or in science as a whole. The only believe what is expedient at any given time to the project of expanding the power of the state, under the control of persons like-minded to themselves.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

There are ....how many scientist now that say the changing by people is BS? I think they’re still alive...not sure.
We’re suppose to let this idiot teach kids?
You have no facts to support your statement. Very little of the heat travels directly to space (5 to 6%), which is good because otherwise we would be in an unending ice age.
There is no disputing that CO2 contributes to more heat retained in the upper atmosphere. There is no way to tell what the net result of this additional heat is. No one has successfully predicted any measurable effect. But that doesn’t matter to Bill Nye anymore than it does to you, because neither one of you is interested in finding a win win.
There is however a way to tell if a scientist or politician is serious about this issue. They will put 100% of their effort into nuclear power, as that is the only reliable, safe, ecologically sound energy source that would have any measurable effect on CO2 concentration. It also would have the benefit of driving economic growth, which would raise everybody’s standard of living. But then again, it is more fun to gripe about non-serious celebrities while they gripe about you. Just look at how much better we all feel about ourselves!
