    This is hilarious. Bill Nye is trying to explain the science of global warming to Tucker Carlson last night. Sci Guy Nye apparently hasn't heard of the little ice age or much of anything else pertaining to climate science.

    .....so Carlson sticks his fingers in his ears and yells "la-la-la-la-la-la", as usual.






    ....an IQ about ten times that of Carlson, and, shockingly, hasn't heard of the denier cult myths and misinformation about the little ice age, so he just laughed at the nitwit Carlson when he brought them up.

    Typical bow tie wearing liberal. Knows how to entertain kids with science tricks but he's not a real scientist.

    My take is that it was SciGuyNye who stuck his fingers in his ears and deflected everytime Tucker asked the very simple question concerning the "settled science." That was an appallingly poor performance from a guy with such a lofty IQ.

    LOL, you think the mechanical engineer and talking head Nye knows much about climate change?

    At least you finally admit the denier cult is a myth. About time you came around to reason.

    You don't sound very old.

    Kinda proves my assertion that IQ is a poor gauge for actual intelligence.

    Looks like we're left with settled science says the earth is getting hotter because of human generated CO2 but they can't say how much.

    Denier cultists are so afraid of actual science. Since you can't refute it, all you have are these pathetic smears and ignorant denigration of people who are far smarter and more knowledgeable than you are.

    Bill Nye was given every chance by Tucker Carlson to answer basic questions about global warming. Nye made an a$$ of himself. It is telling that you will not distance yourself from Nye - it's clear where the cult behavior really resides.

    Dr. Mann is right about human caused global warming, as virtually the entire world scientific community affirms. So is Bill Nye.

    Your far-right-wing crackpot political belief systems won't let you understand the validity of the science backing AGW.....so, foolishly convinced in advance that Nye is wrong and Carlson right, you imagine that Carlson's questions were meaningful challenges to the science Nye was presenting.....they weren't.....they were the same old debunked objections that fossil fuel propaganda pushers have tried to scam people with for decades.

    However, it would make absolutely no difference whatsoever to the validity of the conclusions of the climate scientists, if Nye....who is not a climate scientist, only a popularized science explainer....had blown the explanation in some way. You are grasping at straws....or, rather, your propaganda pushing puppet-masters are......sooooo desperate.

    It is extremely amusing that you imagine that scientific questions are settled on rightwing fake-news shows rather than in the ongoing scientific research appearing in global peer-reviewed scientific publications.

    I am glad to see this is entirely political for you. That explains your complete lack of scientific knowledge.

    You write like a petulant child.

    Here is a link to a lot of scientists, who are a lot smarter and more qualified to discuss climate research,than Bill Nye who never published a single climate science paper:

    1350+ Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skeptic Arguments Against ACC/AGW Alarmism

    "Preface: The following papers support skeptic arguments against Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC), Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) or Alarmism [e.g. Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) or Dangerous Anthropogenic Global Warming (DAGW)]. Please read the following introductory notes for more detailed information."

    There are many more new ones published since he posted this in 2014.

    I'm 70 years old. When I was younger, there was the "space race" and I read everything I could find about science, rocketry, and new discoveries. I felt it was an exciting time, and things have not slowed down. When I first started working in a "data center" - there was an acre of disc drives that probably has less capacity than I now have on my laptop.
    With all this going on, we seem to have people that are actually proud of being ignorant. They find comfort with other idiots and think if they all say the same thing, people won't realize how idiotic they are.
    I think of Sarah Palin - "Paul Revere rode to warn the British" - and when the truth was pointed out, she argued!!! The idea, I guess, is to say something wrong often and loud enough and it is believed to be true????
    From what I read, this is a predominately American problem - the rest of the world is not anti-science, follows evolution, knows there is global warming, sees the benefits of renewable energy,.... It does seem that we ARE # 1 in fact-deniers.

    Not just the US VietVet. Unfortunately the cult of ignorance has spread. It is evident in Australia. Our previous prime minister(a hard right climate change denier with religious leanings) pronounced "climate change is crap!" What a man! What a brain!

    That's a pretty cool link. Thanks. I spot checked several of these this morning. None of the ones I checked refute AGW. In fact, several of them actually come right out and say global warming is happening, will continue to happen, and that man is primarily responsible. They just say it will happen at a lower rate than the IPCC consensus or that it's effects won't be as bad as people think. The section labeled "climate sensitive" is particularly interesting. They all claim CO2 causes warming just with varying opinions on how much and the ones published before 2000 are either already wrong or are well on there way to being proved wrong should the current rate of warming continue. I'm curious if anyone else has spent time actually reading any of these?

    Those that the AGW alarmists call "denialists" are described in bold above. The add on is that those base their reasoning on actual climate data which shows the climate sensitivity to CO2 is ~ 1 deg and that the effects of global warming are net beneficial for increases of ~ 3 deg C above the current temperature.

    So basically you are more swayed by the activist and political argument than actually understanding the science and numerous issues and problems with the current dogma on AGW.

    And basically you have swallowed propaganda paid for by the likes of the Koch Brothers and other fossil fuel merchants.

    AGW is a end-times prophecy for atheists. No more and no less.

    It's also justification for those with Malthusian tendencies.
