You've already stated you didn't watch the entire interview.

Maybe go watch it if you want to discuss it?

Why? So I can try to interpret what I think Nye meant with each statement, and contrast it to what you think he meant? What good would that do? You've already made up your mind, and I don't give enough shits about it to put that much effort into it.


It doesn't matter to me whether Nye was baited into saying something he didn't really mean, or if you misinterpreted some things he said... I will just say this: there is no way in hell that Bill Nye thinks the things that you are here saying that he thinks. Mainly because you are saying things that don't make any sense. How can humans be "100% responsible for current climate conditions"? That makes absolutely no sense. And "warming is 100% human caused"? You already quoted the part where you thought Nye said that, and he didn't say that.

He said humans are 100% responsible for speeding it up, he never said humans are the main cause of it.

The entire gist of global warming is that the earth is warming at a rapid rate.

He claims humans are 100% responsible for speeding up the rate of warming.

Not a hard connection to make

Responsible for speeding up does not equal being responsible for the change.

Bill said the climate has always changed, however humans have caused the climate to change faster then it should

How? Osama Bin Laden escalated terrorism against the western world. Yes it does equate to being largely responsible.

What ever you say. Nye is on record claiming humans are responsible for climate change dozens of times. I thought it was a pretty acknowledged thing about him

I wish I had known when I was a lot younger what a looney tune Bill Nye is.

I was mistaken: humanity is estimated to be responsible for 5% CO2 emissions, not 3%.

Responsible for speeding up. Not solely for change happening

How much is the politicizing of global warming related to money?

3% or 100%?

Jon Stewart did that to Tucker more than a decade ago.

I don't disagree with anything Nye said.

Really?

1) "was it appropriate to jail the guys at Enron? Was it appropriate to jail people from the cigarette industry who insisted that this addictive product was not addictive?”

2) "Its a settled question, human activity is causing climate change."

3) "the rate is the concern."

4) "there would have been another ice age. Aint gonna happen now"

5) "(without humans) our climate would be much like it was in the 1750s"

And I'm not even going to ask you about his ramblings on Trumps dual factions of governments, foxes not liking grapes because they cant reach them, UK wine making ability, and OMG Tuckers 4 children, The Children!

You agree with his direct quotes from above? Because there isnt a bag of dogshit worth of evidence to back any of it up?

Why doesn't anyone seem to ever consider the possible benefits of a slightly warmer earth?

Tucker was just being his usual smug self laughing at everyone who disagrees with him. He's not as great as this board thinks him to be.

I couldn't finish watching it because he turned into an obnoxious Nancy Grace style interview.

Tucker exposing Bill Nye as a useless hack
Nye is as much a warmist charlatan as AlGore.
Tucker did not do a great job of uncovering that.

e.g., It is crystal clear Nye does not understand we are currently in an ice age. It is crystal clear Nye does not understand causative mechanisms for that. It's also crystal clear Nye doesn't care that he doesn't understand those causative mechanisms.

It is evidence of a willful ignorance that should even alarm warmists.
