yep, you guessed it, climate change. Oh and coastal erosion.

Dude is talking out of his arse. Whether climate is real or not, it likely didn't cause a low pressure system to stall out over LA for 3 days. He really hurts their message saying every weather event is caused by climate change.

I really don't like that smug a-hole.

I may not be a smart man but I think it was caused by rain.

Bill Nye has gotten pretty uppity ever since Professor Proton died.

Bill Nye is not even a real scientist. He's a television entertainment character young people were indoctrinated to think was an actual voice of science and reason.

*Rains a lot* - "Global warming!!!"
*Doesn't rain that much* - "Global warming!!!"
*Hot as balls outside* - "Global warming!!!"
*Not hot outside* - "Global warming!!!"

People literally attribute ANY weather condition to global warming and claim it's science.

I mean technically he's right. One minute it was sunny, the next the climate changed and it rained fricking buckets and then it flooded.

I didn't see the broadcast, but climate change and coastal erosion are definitely real and definitely contribute to occurrences such as this flood. Particularly, climate change attributes to the frequency of such events across the globe.

This flood was not acutely caused by climate change, obviously, and I doubt that Bill Nye was trying to make that his message.

The dude is an idiot. Why he is a scientific consultant is beyond me.

I believe Zoe Saldana won't give me a three way with Beyoncé because they are both racists that hate white people.

Can you prove they aren't?

He is right in the sense that the climate is going through constant change over time, but how much is directly caused by man is the 100 trillion dollar question.

If they really thought it was all man made and wanted to fix it, they would figure out ways to collect and store CO2, not just use taxes and carbon credits which only shift who puts out the CO2. Plus, China and India DGAF how much they put out, which is way more than the US.

By "caused" he probably means "exacerbated."
