Overcoming climate change is a challenge for those "coming of age," much like World War II was for the Greatest Generation, Bill Nye "The Science Guy" asserted.
Nye claimed that climate change was "certainly the most serious problem facing humankind right now" while on HuffPost Live May 7 with host Josh Zepps.
"So what I want to do is create the next Great Generation," Nye said. He said the members of the Greatest Generation "pitched in" to win World War II. "And so I want the people coming of age now, the presidents kids and stuff, to work together to address climate change. I think they can, Im sure they can do it."
Zepps asked if climate change was a "sufficiently galvanizing purpose" and motivator as World War II and the Cold War. Nye admitted that "getting people on board with this" had proved challenging.
"Now when people have to really kind of leave Miami, then it will be serious and people will take it seriously," Nye contended. "But then there will be so much carbon in the atmosphere, its a really hard thing."
Since the public hasnt stepped up, Nye demanded the government step in.
"Were gonna need some regulation to get people on board, and just like they had in World War II," Nye said, citing examples of "rationing tires," "collecting bones to get the calcium" and "victory gardens."
Nye also insisted that opponents be called deniers, which conjures up the offensive idea of Holocaust denial. He called out Zepps for referring to them as "people who are skeptical of climate science."
"We just dont like to use that word [skepticism]," Nye said. "These people are deniers." He was one of the people to sign an open letter in December 2014 trying to bully the media into using the "denier" term. He and other left-wingers demanded the media use the term "climate denier" instead of "climate skeptic."
He had previously attacked "climate deniers" before, calling politicians skeptical of catastrophic global warming "unpatriotic" and "inappropriate" on the Rachel Maddow Show February 10, 2010.
Nye also lectured climate skeptics on Meet the Press February 27, 2014, saying "the more we mess around with this denial, the less we're going to get done."

Caption contest..........
But the ones that can? Watch out, Bill. You are in for a real azz-whupping! As far as the ones who are "slowed down" by age and infirmities, we'll see if The Science Guy can run faster than 3000 ft/sec? He just may need to do that...
Indeed. He is a little man, of little consequence, who spends his time perpetuating a fraud.
Bill Nye has produced this 2 trillion dollar film on how to deal with global warming.

In WWII we were fighting against a real — rather than imaginary — enemy.
Global Warming/Climate change advocates are promoting death.
Environmentalists in general, promote death.
The policies of Democrats, promote death.
The death of tens of millions of people. And they don’t care.
It’s “third party” death. Death and the killing of human life that they themselves don’t feel responsible for. They shield themselves from responsibility by not directly advocating the death of millions, but by advocating the policies, laws and regulations.
The next time you want to engage an “Environmentalist”, simply say/ask; “So, you support the death of millions of people?”
Do your homework.
Ask them how many schools in America are named after Rachel Carson?
How many children are dying in Africa today because of what she started?
Ask them if they think the policies against DDT are Racist?
Ask them if they even know who Margaret Sanger is?
Ask them why they would support a Racist?
Ask them if they are aware of Al Gore’s recent comments advocating government sponsored “population control” in Africa?
Ask them if they themselves would be willing to commit suicide to “save the planet”?
If no, ask them why they support laws and regulations that will and are, killing millions of people?
“The Pauper, Prince and Thief”
Ya mean we should be setting off some atomic bombs?
Was just watching a report stating the longer winter here has caused a “pollen dump” to occur because trees are pollinating now instead of earlier in the spring due to colder weather.
Then they show a report from some scientific outfit stating the pollen season is going to be much longer and earlier due to “climate change”. So which the hell one is it?
He wants to “create” a great generation...guess there is no room for belief in God when one is so dillusionally arrogant...
Bill Nye the bullsh***in’ Guy.
Victims of Hitler's concentration camps.
Victims of Japan's POW camps.
American soldiers' bodies on the beach at D-Day.
If the World War II soldiers had the strength, they'd punch Bill Nye right in the MOUTH for spewing such balderdash.
No, Bill, it isn't like World War II. Far, far, far from it.
You're not speaking German, Bill, because of the men who fought World War II--and your little fantasy about controlling the planet and the people who LIVE on the planet is much more akin to the fascism these men were fighting than it is to the Constitution of the United States.
Whichever version fits the leftist agenda is the one they’ll go with, hard science be dammed.
What a pig.
People have an amazing ability to “rationalize” virtually anything in order to maintain their personal beliefs.
Not to mention the WWIII that’s festering before our eyes. Even if it were true, I’d take two degrees of warming before I’d take decapitation.
What part does Bill Nye play? Tokyo Rose or Hanoi Jane?
Bill Nye is nuttier than a Mr. Goodbar.
