frick no.

He's the millennial's version of Mr Rogers.

He may be an engineer; but one things for sure, he NEVER took a course or graduated in climatology. The guy is a joke; and every secondary degree he has was GIVEN to him as an honorary status.

quote:

9. The founder of the Weather Channel is rightfully angry that Nye has any sort of credibility on the issue of science. "I have always been amazed that anyone would pay attention to Bill Nye, a pretend scientist in a bow tie," John Coleman told Climate Depot.

Coleman added, "As a man who has studied the science of meteorology for over 60 years and received the AMS (American Meteorological Society’s) 'Meteorologist of the Year' award, I am totally offended that Nye gets the press and media attention he does."


"Bill Nye is nothing more than an edutainer!"

How many climatology degrees do you think are out there?

Probably none because global warming isn't real

A simple google search shows 8.

Which tells me that this science that has been "settled" is really just a scam. I also noticed how none of the Ivy League schools offer the program. Which is ironic.

Certainly you would want nothing but the brightest minds of the world working to save it, right?

If any of this was actually put under the scrutiny of the scientific method and scientific peers; it would be destroyed, debunked and become the biggest swindle ever made of our civilization.

Or how about you have climatology being a really really specific field of study.

And it is in a larger department.

So you graduate with a degree in earth sciences, or physical sciences.

In general terms, a scientist is someone who gets paid to do science which is what he does... So yes, Bill is a scientist.


So by your definition meth cooks are scientist.

I don't really know what you are trying to get at here.

You're knighting for a guy who got his break by winning a Steve Martin look a like contest.

I've taken 5 physics courses when I was in college. I've also taken 4 geologists. Yet, never saw the course for "climatology" in any of the catalogs.

My point being, while you still try to make one, is that IF this was such an important topic, and imperative Swift action is to be taken, surely, we would want the brightest minds of our times working on the problem and learning about it.

Yet, the AGW side merely has a washed out comedian who still applies to be a US astronaut every year, to do its bidding.

It's really kind of sad when you look at it. Or here Nye speak publicly on the issue.

I don't think you know how departments work.


And you wouldn't have this to say about anything unless I prompted your google search.

Make your fricking point, Pectus.

Quit beating around the bush.

You replied to me, asking how many schools offer a climatology degree. I had no idea. We found it it was eight.

You insinuated that since Bill has nothing more than an engineering degree; that earning anything else in the school of warmunism is due to the fact that there just aren't many around; then my point remains.

IF it were so imperative that we save the world so quickly; why only 8, Pectus?

Why do we have a washed up comedian who was never invited to speak to congress on the issue; trying to force this agenda down our collective throats?

And you're right. I have never had an interest in teaching; so I could give two shits how "departments" work.

I think he has a BS in mechanically Engineering from Cornell. Whether you think he is the climate messiah, an insufferable douchebag, or somewhere in between, engineering is an applied science so the answer to the OPs question is yes. That particular point is not debateable, well, at least not in reasonable circles. But this is the rant

This is me watching millennials do backflips anytime they think their childhood TV hero Bill Nye is being disrespected:

Bill Nye and Neil DeGrass Tyson are both a couple of douchebag wannabee's with a political agenda.

The guy is an idiot bc he got all pissy with CNN for even having a climate change denier on in a segment with him. If you oppose his shitty views he thinks you are cancer and should be jailed. Let that sink in. Guy is a loon.

If you give someone an opposing point of view in a debate, the assumption is both viewpoints are equal.

One can be smart and an idiot at the same time. Obama graduated and taught Constitutional Law at the top Ivy League school in the US, and he's an idiot.
