Bill Nye Shreds Climate Change Denier, Slams CNN For Giving Skeptic A
Platform On Earth Day


When someone’s name has been followed for decades by the words “the Science Guy,” it’s a pretty safe bet that person takes science pretty darned
seriously, which is definitely the case with Bill Nye.

Nye, who participated in Saturday’s March for Science, was invited to
appear on CNN that day — which also happened to be Earth Day — and he spoke passionately about climate change.

However, CNN also brought in a climate change denier to provide an
alternative viewpoint, but his outlandish claims during the segment led Nye
to scold CNN for providing a platform to promote views about climate change that have been refuted by the vast majority of the scientific community.

William Happer, a Princeton physicist who is an outspoken climate change skeptic, told viewers that increased levels of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere are actually a good thing. “You can see the greening of the
earth already, from the additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,”
Happer declared.

Happer also dismissed those who do believe the overwhelming evidence about climate change as “alarmists,” stating that “the temperature is not rising nearly as fast as the alarmists’ computer models predicted… So the whole
basis for the alarmism is not true.”

At this point, Nye could no longer hold back. “That’s completely wrong,”
Nye retorted. “Say what you will, but you have it absolutely wrong… He’s cherry-picking a certain model. The heat ended up in the ocean. This is not controversial in mainstream science, everybody.”

Noted Nye: “We’ve got an extraordinary situation here in the United States, where climate change deniers have managed to introduce the idea that some uncertainty — say plus or minus 2 per cent — about the temperature of the
ocean is somehow equivalent to plus or minus 100 per cent. Now, everybody, science is political. We use politics to decide where to invest our
intellect and treasure. But when it comes to climate change, that is not controversial in the scientific community, any more than the law of
universal gravitation.”

Nye also used his screen time to slam CNN for giving Happer a platform to
spout his views. “I will say, much as I love the CNN, you’re doing a
disservice by having one climate change skeptic and not 97 or 98 scientists
or engineers concerned about climate change,” he added.
