On Sunday, actor and activist Bill Nye — known as "the science guy" — dismissed the high cost of the Green New Deal with a cheap stunt: lighting a globe on fire.
"By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on earth could go up another four to eight degrees," Nye declared on the HBO show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. "What I’m saying is the planet’s on f**king fire. There are a lot of things we could do to put it out. Are any of them free? No, of course not, nothing’s free, you idiots."
"Grow the f**k up. You’re not children anymore," Nye added, directing his message toward millennials who grew up watching his show Bill Nye the Science Guy. "I didn’t mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were twelve, but you’re adults now and this is an actual crisis. Got it?"
Nye's message came at the end of a segment with John Oliver, in which Oliver kept asking Nye for "fun, visual stunts" explaining carbon pricing. The actor defended the idea of taxing carbon.
"Putting a fee on carbon creates incentives to emit less carbon, and, more importantly, it also incentivizes the development of low-carbon technology, which is huge, because that's vital to reducing emissions globally," Nye said. He snidely added, "And because for some reason, John, you're a 42-year-old man who needs his attention sustained by tricks, here's some f***ing Mentos and a bottle of Diet Coke. Happy now?"
Waleed Shahid, a former staffer for Green New Deal author Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and current communications director for Justice Democrats, tweeted the video with this message: "how to pay for the green new deal by bill nye."

Actually, he really IS stupid enough he just might not know that.
Well, until he was vulgar and called everyone who disagrees with him an idiot, I was unconvinced. Now, however, Nye’s charm and deft use of language has convinced me
Bill needs to get a grip on himself. The Liberal hysteria ain’t even funny any more!
Get this and all the 3rd world countries to cool their jets on making babies and let the world population dwindle down to early 1900 numbers then watch things get magically better practically overnight.
Oh; and stop throwing all the trash into the oceans. It’s disgusting, immoral, and just plain wrong.
What happens when an actor thinks they are a scientist?
Bill Nye..
[[Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.]]

Probably similar to what happens to an actor when they played a President. They think they know all about being President aka Martin Sheen!
Bill Nye is not a math guy!!!
Our atmosphere contains 400 parts per million of CO2.
It’s a real small, insignificant, part of the atmosphere.
4,000 parts per million>meh
40,000 parts per million>piker, still only 4%
400,000 parts per million>okay, at that level CO2 may have a direct impact on our climate.
If you believe something, at 400 parts per million of our atmosphere, has some sort of impact on Climate, You Are an Imbecile!
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest...................for real.
I watched Mythbusters... but was this really a ‘myth’?
Diet Coke, best liquid to use.
True, nothing’s free, but Freedom is cheaper than the Socialism the Dems are pushing...
Bill Nye is no scientist. He is trying to push the ‘Green New Deal’ crap for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Remember she said the world would end in 12 years if we didn’t do what she said. Sounds like Al Gore, does it not?
Nye the Comedian is better than Nye the Science Guy...more truth than fraud.
