Also by the time Nye said this there was the longest hurricane drought in history[5].
He also doesn't understand quantum entanglement[6].
He also believes that NASCAR should make their cars electric even though this would damage the sport[7]. Tom Jensen of FOX sports said so.
The founder of the weather has also refuted Bill Nye[10][11], and has called him a
‘a pretend scientist in a bow tie’.
Is Bill Nye an ideologue? Absolutely!! He preaches the gender spectrum[8](warning: Link 7 can cause extreme psychological damage).
He wants to jail climate change deniers even though they have 1st amendment rights[9]. He constantly complains about people who are "anti science" yet he is doing even more anti science stuff by wishing the government to your opponent. As much as I hate leftists and communists I would be horrified if they were to be jailed for their beliefs. Antitheists - as much as I loathe them - would not incarcerate. Why is it not okay to incarcerate them? Because they(like all humans) have the God-given right of freedom of expression - no matter how .
As you see. I have given my point as simple as I could

To his credit, Bill Nye does not call himself a scientist: he calls himself "a science guy". Which does not mean much, but, at least, sets the tone of the kind of performances he nowadays partakes in. Listening to him might be useful to someone who knows absolutely nothing about science and would be equivalent to going to a bar with a few science fiction writers and chatting with them. But someone who wants to actually learn a bit of science is better served by buying a few books written by accomplished scientists such as Stephen Hawking or Brian Greene. People like Bill Nye or deGrasse Tyson (who is an actual scientist, but 99% of the time he talks about things far outside his areas of expertise) are entertainers, not sources of valuable information.

I agree with your points here. But although Bill does not refer to himself as a scientist, he has an ego big enough to call himself an expert and like Tyson(who I'm also not a big fan of for similar reasons) he acts like an expert in science and acts like some priestly intermediary between what he sees as the laymen(us) and his god(which is his definition of "science").

Your jealousy and hate at a guy making a fun science show demonstrates how unbalanced right wing religious nuts are in the US , no doubt you firmly believe all scientific truths are to be found in the Bible
It's most amusing you and May totally ridicule and condescendingly look down on a guy for making a show which won 19 Emmy's because how dare he talk about Science , he's not a real scientist , only people with science degrees and right wing Murican Christian's should be allowed decide such matters
It takes an American 'Christian ' to demonstrate how truly hateful this vile Bronze Age belief system is .....
As much as I hate leftists and communists I would be horrified if they were to be jailed for their beliefs. Antitheists - as much as I loathe them ....
pepsiguy admits he hates others because they are not Christian yet today being Sunday he will bow his head in church and look all pious and saintly as the preacher reads a Bible verse about how hate is not the Christian way and he nods piously in saintly agreement , when church is over he drives home to post up bile against 'lefties ', 'commies' , 'fags', 'blacks ' , 'jews' poor people , 'Catholics' 'scientists ' etc , etc
Murican 'christian' are exempt from the pesky Bible verses they don't agree with they're allowed to hate everyone as it doesn't apply to Murican 'Christian's'
9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.
10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
