Bill Nye Delighted About Exoneration From ClimateGate 'Sham'; Calls Skeptics 'Irrational'
Newsbusters ^ | July 8, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 07/08/2010 6:32:01 AM PDT by Rufus2007

Surprise - a British panel ruled that the scandal known as ClimateGate that supposedly revealed the manipulation of certain data strengthen the case of manmade global warming was much ado about nothing. But, The New York Times in a July 7 story called these findings of an inquiry led by Muir Russell, a retired British civil servant and educator, "a sweeping exoneration" of the ClimateGate scientists in question.

While there are still some serious and legitimate concerns to be raised about what ClimateGate reveal despite the findings, Bill Nye, the so-called "Science Guy" is celebrating and at the same time dismissing skeptics of Russell's findings. He explained why he thought this was important on CNN's July 7 broadcast of "Campbell Brown."

"Well, it's important to people like me," Nye said. "It's important to all the scientists. I think people who don't believe in climate change, who deny climate change, I don't think it's going to affect them very much at all because they're already committed to their - to their beliefs and this will be just one more brick in the great ziggurat of conspiracy for those people."

Bill Nye is a self-described "scientist" - but his background is that he has a bachelor's in mechanical engineering.

Hey, watch it.

The sad thing is that for millions of people Nye is all they will ever hear of “science”.

In other news, Charles Manson has declared that he and Squeeky From are completely innocent and that the LA Cops were irrational.

Nothing to watch.

He had a real career in a real field and gave it all up to be a "scientist" doing tricks on TV.

His use of “ziggurat” was a ‘clever by half’ dig at (Christian) religion as being inherently anti-science. All it proves is that his knowledge of history is as flawed as his knowledge of science.

****people who don’t believe in climate change, who deny climate change, I don’t think it’s going to affect them very much at all because they’re already committed to their - to their beliefs..****

So it is a religion!!!!!

Global warming will not affect any of these people in 100 years - because they will be dead. And I’m not a scientist.

Well said, the little cult for white dweeb liberals and their amoral financeers needs to feel the heat.

Bill Nye is a a fool for letting his politics pollute his scientific reasoning. But a mechanical engineer has as much or more “science” education as other professionals who call themselves scientists.

Exactly.

Many of these chest-thumping AGW-believing “scientists” are making their living off government funded “research” grants.

To admit it is a hoax is to piss in their own rice bowl.

Bill, go back to blowing things up on a local comedy show (like you used to do on Almost Live). You’re great in that role...

Of course. More significantly, a BS in mechanical engineering implies more knowledge of hard scientific analysis than a PhD in "environmental science" does.

But when Bill Nye says he's a "scientist" he means he's a hifalutin' theoretician like his climate science PhD pals.

Bill Nye, the fake science guy, sees that the money is in propagating global warming.

I am so tired of idiots calling people with reasonable questions “irrational”.

IRRATIONAL is NOT questioning things but rather blindly following the lead of people who make up, manipulate and withhold data.

...and to think I used to really enjoy watching him and WITWICSD? almost religiously....Sure would be nice if Hulu ever started offering ‘WITWI Carmen San Diego?’. in it’s entirety. I’d watch them all, all over again.
