It’s hard to follow a stunt like setting a globe aflame and proclaiming the world is “on [bleep]ing fire” because of global warming, but Bill Nye “The Science Guy” managed in it a CNN podcast interview.
With less theater and showmanship than his “heartfelt,” expletive-laden performance on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, Nye still made outrageous claims about natural disasters and global warming on Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources podcast May 30.
Just days after Memorial Day, when veterans are remembered for giving their lives in battle, Nye nonchalantly claimed there is a “Pearl Harbor” moment on climate change every week — but is only being recognized by his side: “the science side.”
The actual act of war at Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 people, and led to the U.S. declaration of war. Yet, he considered this an apt metaphor for natural disasters he claims are fueled by human-induced climate change.
“We don’t have Pearl Harbor, by analogy. We never had this catastr—- people from the U.S. were fighting the war in Europe. They were flying missions since the late 1930s. Flying bombing runs. But it wasn’t until Pearl Harbor where everybody really got serious about winning,” Nye said. He failed to specify that Americans who fought the Axis ahead of Dec. 8, 1941, did so as voluntary and private citizens. War was not declared until after the Pearl Harbor attack.
He continued, “But the trouble with climate change is it's happening in slow motion.”
“So there will never be a Pearl Harbor moment?” Stelter asked.
“Well, for us there’s one every week. And so, for us on the science side,” Nye insisted.

Bill Nye, the flim-flam guy.
amen
There’s a “9-11” in America every day as 3,000 babies as slaughtered.
You got that right!

I can actually picture him saying that after reading your post. ; )
He seems completely asexual, you could be right!
Hey Bill - since you’re so scientific, maybe you can tell us why it matters more to the atmosphere that US CO2 only declines a little with the switchover from coal to NG, than it matters that China and India are stamping out brand-new coal-fired power stations like cookies?
