Good for Bill Nye. Glad to see he is speaking out against these a-holes.

There is only one solution to this problem: We must stop teaching science in school!

To be fair, I believe Bill Nye actually is a scientist, not just a former kids’ TV host.

While I understand your point, it might also be fair to point out that according to Wikipedia, Ms. Maddow was 20 years old when Bill Nye: The Science Guy debuted. So to her, he may just be more of an accessible head, who can talk in layman’s terms.

Errrr….Shari Lewis passed away over a decade ago, Frances.

Maybe, that was intended as satire. That excuses anything and everything.

Ms. Maddows audience has tanked so badly that she is resorting to obscure people and even more juvenile antics on her show to try a draw more or maintain her ratings.

I’ve always liked Bill Nye, and I also believe global warming is fraudulent science rooted in billions of dollars going to research. Silkworm is right about Maddow’s audience tanking… Who cares who or what is on display over there. Frances Martel is the one watching the show, definitely not me.

Maybe Rachel can spend her next show explaining why MSNBC won’t cover the expanding scandals behind the UN’s climate research. The British papers are exposing these frauds, but the US media is burying this story under four feet of snow.

bill nye is a mechanical engineer, not a climatologist…

also: “Does Nye insist that a sufficient test of patriotism is belief in the Himalayan glaciers melting by 2035? Until a few weeks ago, that was “settled science,” too, according to the same authorities on which Nye bases his “patriotism.”” (h/t hot air)

Have you ever heard a conspiracy theory you didn’t fall for, hook, line and sinker?

Making the environment better with cleaner cars and wind power is a good thing, just like we should not litter.
But please stop the massive Al Gore and loony left scenarios and scare tactics of we are going to die. That is where they lose the majority of people.
Climate change is called “Seasons” Some are hotter and some are cooler, that is the way the world works.
Example: the Ice Age. No cars then…

Are you sure? I could swear I saw a picture of Senator Byrd driving a car on the way to his first date.

Wow Ms. Martell again instead of reporting the facts, you once again expose your bias. I have to wonder if it is you who hates Rachel Maddow or if your just shilling for Dan Abrams because he still hasn’t gotten over that Ms. Maddow kicking him out of his time slot and got double the audience that he ever did.

Is there anything that doesn’t make Rachel furious? Come on, Rachel. No matter which side you’re on, isn’t it kind of funny that “global warming” became “climate change” after a bad winter was forecast? Not even a little bit? (Crickets chirping)

Here is an example of the “science” everyone claims exists on this subject.

The Himalayan Glacier ruse originated in the IPCC report 3 years ago. Their claim was that the Glaciers found there would recede completely with a 90% certainty. Except it has been found this claim was not in a foundation of scientific research. No, it was based on report made by the World Wildlife Fund. That report was based on a solitary article in a magazine, and that article was based on an interview with a professor from New Dehli who was speculating on the future of the glacier. That is what they determine to be “peer-reviewed, settled science“.

The new moniker that is favored is “Climate Change”, but that seems to imply that there is such a thing as “Climate Constant”. Right now we have pro-change lobbyists contradicting themselves over the D.C. blizzard; half say it is an anomaly, and half state it is proof of warming. One side is bound to be correct.

Everyone should just read the post on Hot Air in regards to this.

Global Warming Fast Facts

Global Cooling fast fact

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1242011/DAVID-ROSE-The-mini-ice-age-starts-here.html

Overwhelming consensus in scientific community fast facts, since contrariness is not an empirical attribute:

FactCheck.org: Emails “have been misrepresented by global-warming skeptics,” “don’t change scientific consensus on global warming.” FactCheck.org has stated that while the emails “show a few scientists in a bad light, being rude or dismissive,” “there’s still plenty of evidence that the earth is getting warmer and that humans are largely responsible.” In addition, FactCheck noted that “many of the e-mails that are being held up as ‘smoking guns’ have been misrepresented by global-warming skeptics eager to find evidence of a conspiracy.”

AP: Emails “don’t support claims that the science of global warming was faked.”The Associated Press reported that after “stud[ying] all the e-mails for context, with five reporters reading and rereading them” and submitting “summaries of the e-mails that raised issues from the potential manipulation of data to intensely personal attacks … to seven experts in research ethics, climate science and science policy,” they concluded that “the exchanges don’t undercut the vast body of evidence showing the world is warming because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions.”

“Scientists reaffirm that global warming is real. Following the emails’ release, more than 1,700 scientists from the United Kingdom signed a statement responding “to the ongoing questioning of core climate science and methods.” The statement said: “We, members of the UK science community, have the
utmost confidence in the observational evidence for global warming and the scientific basis for concluding that it is due primarily to human activities.” Furthermore, in a December 4, 2009, letter to Congress, 29 prominent scientists, including 11 members of the National Academy of Scientists, stated, “The body of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of global warming is overwhelming. The content of the stolen emails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming.” Additionally, a December 3, 2009, editorial in the science journal Nature stated: “Nothing in the e-mails undermines the scientific case that global warming is real — or that human activities are almost certainly the cause,” and that claims to the contrary by “the climate-change-denialist fringe” are “laughable.” The American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Union of Concerned Scientists have all reaffirmed their position that human-caused global warming is real.”

Go Rachel and Bill Nye, if they’re screaming you must be getting through to the public and making climate change deniers look gullible or agenda driven; so they must crush you!

Nobody has been screaming here, and for the most part the emails are not the central issue here. The IPCC has been shown numerous times – apart from those emails – to have been blatantly incorrect. Read some of the British newspapers who are actually covering this issue. You can name-call with “deniers” all you want, but the people who oppose this issue are mostly calling for MORE research, because it is far from settled.
