What a strange post.

Same thing I tell people who deny evolution. Prove it to be false, have it peer reviewed, publish it, live on your yacht after the millions you take in selling it.

I thought that was common knowledge.
In what field is he a scientist in?

Good comparison, actually. Lots of circumstantial evidence to support something that cannot be reproduced because it happens over too large a period of time. Faith is needed to interpret evidence one way or the other.

So everyone who has a BS from any university is a scientist? What are you basing that on?...or do you admit he is not a scientist.

so you have to be a scientist to take part in or lead a march?

Bill Nye marketed himself as a "science guy" and is primarily a science educator.

I don't get what your problem is. Oh wait, I get it, you are against science!

Doesnt need to be reproduced in a lab. If it is a well understood theory, accurate projections of future behaviors/events is usually the best confirmation that your theory is correct. That simply isnt the case with AGW.

If this same group believes that one can choose their own gender Then I don't believe in their brand of 'science', so . . . .

The majority of scientists who do not believe the effects of AGW are significant do so because it is the TRUTH. The climate has been cycling hot and cold before man existed.

Nye, literally, made a career out of mansplaining. He is the very epitome of white-male privilege.

I will not attend if this cishitlord is going to be leading the parade.
