This ignorant mouthpiece has lost credibility in the astronomy/astrophysics wing of science and is ignored by many in the field - and as an astronomy buff I watched him decline over the years as his audience dwindled. About a dozen years ago he was ranting about anthropogenic global warming - CLICKED off for good. A lot of good his education did when he comes out looking dumber than Bill Nye.
His career has always been that of a “science explainer” rather then that of a scientist. He’s basically a Bill Nye with a PhD instead of a master’s degree. Tyson worked with some good people on his way to a PhD but it’s interesting that he seems to have never been offered the traditional and more demanding astrophysicist career route - faculty position with obligations to do research for tenure. Carl Sagan at least went the normal academic career route before becoming a tendentiously pretentious TV science explainer.
