Wait I'm sorry are you suggesting that his opposition is saying people don't pollute or influence the environment? If so that's dumb.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking

again.

There is no giant corp trying to hide the facts about mmgw. There IS a giant UN trying to

hide facts, studies and scientists who say mmgw is not mm.

progressive / leftist thought is a disease being called rational.

Aside from limiting children, and pressuring networks to silence dissenters, Nyes solution about climate deniers has also included throwing them in jail. In 2016, Nye suggested to YouTube channel cfact, that throwing climate skeptics in prison wasnt too extreme.

off the rails much? how about in a ditch!

I don't need a new knee, already have one. It is outstanding. Seriously, you only show up in the thread

to complain about my verbal creations? seriously? that is all you have to offer to the thread?

good grief, charlie frown.

Has to be at this point.

Well, I think some of you are going off the rails here over this a bit. I think he is saying simply what has occurred throughout the ages: that older people can be set in their ways particularly when it comes to backward thinking.

I mean, he is right...it is mainly the older generation that are the climate change deniers.

I mean, this may be no different than when the "older generation" hated rock n roll....and expected it to go away. It didn't.

Or when older generations refused to accept equality among races. It took Brown vs. Bd. of Education and a couple of more decades of Federal intervention....and the dying off of a whole generation who were brought up as racists to accept school integration.

And the same for interracial dating/marriage. My wife and I joke about the fact that in so many of the English mystery shows that we watch that it seems that at least every other couple in those shows is an interracial couple.

And think about it: older generations would still feel that is completely taboo.

And, of course their is the attitudes about homosexuals and gays. That was a completely taboo lifestyle/subject for the older generation.

So, this may be no different from that. I don't think Bill Nye is advocating the euthanasia of older people so that climate change theories can be accepted. He is simply saying that it is basically the older crowd that are climate change deniers, and that with the passing of the older generation there will be more universal acceptance of the climate change reality. Just like there is/was with school/lunch counter/bathroom etc. integration. Just like with interracial marriage, just like LGBT lifestyle acceptance.

Hey, I have seen these science fiction movies/shows (or...maybe not science fiction) about how in the not to distant future we will have AI (artificial intelligence) beings roaming around...and how there may be great resistance/prejudice against those entities.

Get out of here with your rational thinking Gipper

yes, that is the liberal way. Then they can REALLY say they are superior to all things and people.

even though it will have been the liberals who sent it all to hell...but no matter to them, they will simply blame

it on everybody else some way.

mmgw is a false global redistribution of wealth fraud.

and NO, interracial marriage was never a perverse problem, it was a discrimination

matter based on the color of someone's skin, That was asswholish, so it went away.

the gay lifestyle is perverse against natural law, especially as far as human beings go.

all this "well it's the same as" is bs. Nothing is "the same". That is just the liberal emotional knee jerk

towards getting control of everything. "it's all the same"

"dedication to Real Marriage" is the same as "committing genocide against the Jews during WWII" because they are both

wrong to liberals... so it makes liberals FEEL happy to equate them... it's all liberal emotional manipulation.

Woooooosh

He's not the expert,

You're a genius!

One thing you don't understand, no one is going "Well Nye thinks climate change is real, so it must be!". He's just presenting the data and arguments of the ACTUAL experts. He's not the expert, but he can relay their conclusions.

I think the disconnect here is that you take certain deniers word as proof. Guys that aren't experts. You take what they say as your proof, even though it isn't. You then assume the other side works like that. But it doesn't

Since when can a mechanical engineer be a climatologist?

Answer: Only in his dreams.

Answer: When he appears on one of Cal's list showing all of the "experts" that agree with him

Answer: Only in his dreams.

Watch this video and tell me this guy is all about science. GTFOH. He is just a SJW with the most basic understanding of science. If that.

People get engrained in their beliefs. Shunning any evidence that makes them look wrong. Scientific like this, or societal like racism. You can attempt to convince those people otherwise, but many will stand firm. But, they will die out, and with them, many of their outdated beliefs.

I imagine in 50 years my generation will be on the wrong side of something too
