Bill Nye seems to think he has failed to reach people with his demand for urgent action on climate change, but he blames others for creating the conditions which led to his failure.
Bill Nye on his climate change education efforts: I am a failure
The Science Guy looks back on his 1990s TV show, and why climate change education has not reflected policy change
Between hosting Bill Nye the Science Guy and serving as CEO of The Planetary Society, Bill Nyes career as a science educator means he is also, inherently, an activist when it comes to combating climate change.
Nye joined Jeremy Binckes on Salon Talks to discuss his efforts raising awareness around climate change over the years, and to scoop a new documentary film that chronicles his rise from lively childrens show host to national science defender and advocate.
I am a failure! Nye exclaimed when reflecting back on the shows he created over two decades ago about the Earths warming.
Nye blamed the fossil fuel industry for creating the schism between climate deniers and believers, saying they have worked so hard to introduce doubt. He went on to say that he believed climate change was discovered in the 1970s, and weve done virtually nothing about it all this time.

Every time you read an assertion that people only doubt because the fossil fuel industry has created doubt, in my opinion you are seeing first hand the utter contempt climate enthusiasts have for peoples ability to weigh the evidence for themselves.

Self-awareness is a wonderful thing.
Somebody got have gotten a copy of that porno he did in the 80s
He was married for 6 weeks or so back in 2006 then obtained an annulment. He has always set off my gaydar and the fact that he did a kids show..?
Yes, you are, Billy, but before you were a failure, you were a fraud and a liar, so the result was easily predicable.
And you should eat that bow tie.

Squirt Guns that light up. That’s more your speed, Bill.
Maybe this is his version of those Rap Music videos with shirtless young guys holding guns and $100. bills in their shabby bedrooms.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. The theory and political campaign is a failure. You are just its tool.
Because the actor Bill Nye plays a scientist in a sketch comedy show, it does not make him any more genuine than it makes John Belushi into a Samurai.
Some things are just doomed to failure from the first. And anthropogenic climate change is among that number.
First of all, there are SO many variables that are a part of climate change, that whatever actions that mankind takes to either enhance or diminish the effects of climatic conditions are all probably self-canceling. Admittedly, in a very small scale and in a very limited way, it may be possible to affect a microclimate, withing a specified and strictly delimited space, but these effects are simply lost in comparison to all the other factors, like spitting in the ocean is going to change the sea level. While you were in the act of spitting, the effect of evaporation taking up water vapor for the ocean’s surface has already offset that act, and the rains falling elsewhere on the planet have restored the levels that were not perceptibly altered to begin with.
The conditions of the climate in Year 1920, or 1950, or 1980, or 2010, are not carved in stone. And even if they were, stone does erode over time. There are plenty of factors the may impact the climate that alter over time, and mankind is in no position to halt or accelerate that change.
And certainly, more than any thing else that has been offered as a “change agent”, carbon dioxide simply is not an agent of sufficient impact, in and of itself, to effect ANY change. It is but a marker of change that has occurred in conjunction with other much more powerful change agents, most particularly solar radiation, and volcanic eruptions.
Yes, you are.
Now retire and go fishing - and don't ever come back.
Oh bill. You have no idea how much of a failure you really are. Not just on the climate change lie, but every aspect of your life is a failure. Your momma is a failure, your daddy is a failure, your brain has failed you, your suspenders and bow tie have failed you, every teacher/college professor has failed you (even though you got an A++ in climate change), tv has failed you. Boo fricking hoo. Even pee wee Herman is ahead of you.
Maybe some deep, deep therapy is in order.
It’s all about globalists using “climate change” to eliminate fossil fuel consumption and take control of the population via green energy.
Bill Nye needs a good hard slap in the mouth for all his lies all these years. What an ass.
quote “He went on to say that he believed climate change was discovered in the 1970s”
wow... so Bill believes that human just discovered in the 1970’s... that the earth’s climate has been changing...
yo Bill... the earths climate has been warming for the last 10,000 years! (since the end of the last ice age)
Selling demonstrable lies is tough pal.
I was thinking dork and a failure. Is that same as dink and failure?
You are also an a$$clown, Bill Nye.
