Here's the thing: You're right, Bill Nye is not a scientist. But (a), he never said he was, and (b), you don't have to be a scientist to understand the issue.

Try this: The science behind the issue is not hard to understand. You think Global Warming is fake? Ok. Try to prove yourself wrong. Seriously. Here's how you do it. First, don't read anything that confirms your belief, by anyone or publication that confirms it either. Instead, read information from Nasa or NOAA about it, 2 sites I know you hate. Don't give up, and don't stop. Just read it. The idea is to CHALLENGE your beliefs.

If you want to earn even a droplet of my respect, you'll do it. If you won't or can't, I will know that all of this is just over your head. And so will you.

You don't understand, see squealer and all these right wingers already know everything. They don't need to prove it because they already know it. Their only goal is to make you waste your time arguing about it.

If they were willing to read evidence about the subject that doesn't confirm what they want to believe then they would have already done it. You can argue with these people till you are blue in the face but it doesn't matter they will not listen.



Max Planck said it best...


A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.


We are lucky, most of these climate deniers are old angry people in their 60's & 70's. They don't have long to live.. They & their non sense denials will be forgotten over the next 20 years...
