HE BEAT THEM DOWN WITH KNOWLEDGE !

because KNOWLEDGE IS POWER ! !

Well I was going to say that he used to be the scientific adviser to the President at one point but Wikipedia keeps telling me I'm wrong. Still the man is a certified genius and DOES know what he's talking about when it come to climate change.
From Wikipedia:

-"In November 2010, Nye became the face of a new permanent exhibition at the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, CA. Bill Nye’s Climate Lab"
-"Nye appears in segments of The Climate Code on The Weather Channel, telling his personal ways of saving energy."
-"He created a 13-episode PBS KCTS-TV series about science, called The Eyes of Nye, aimed at an older audience than his previous show had been. Airing in 2005, it often featured episodes based on politically relevant themes such as genetically modified food, global warming, and race."

And I'll end this with a quote from the man himself that I think fits this video to a T.

Interviewed by John Rael for the Independent Investigation Group IIG, Nye stated that his "concern right now... scientific illiteracy... you don't [the public] have enough rudimentary knowledge of the universe to evaluate claims."

Yeah and it's not getting much better with school cuts and Texas fighting science. Look we're probably gonna have to just do shit on our own from now on and hope for the best. Conservatives will have won then, the government will be completely off our backs, if you want to learn science you'll have to do it on your own, can't afford going to a University, and there's no government help for that. We'll see how the country does then.

Mechanical Engineering isn't science!


By that reasoning neither is a degree in mathematics.

Really it is a degree entirely based on and drenched in science. There is no guess work. If you need to find out something new you make a hypothesis, run some tests, get some results, validate the hypothesis, etc. all to the scientific method.

@harlequinn sarcasm detector on the fritz?

People really seem to have a lot of problems with science not being certain, but usually they are responding like this:

Scientist: All the available data and evidence shows us with 98 percent certainty that 'it' works like this.
Journalist: So you could be wrong? You are not certain? It is just your opinion then.

This is when the scientist should slap the journalist in the face with a printout of all the evidence he had to compile and process.

Edit: If the printouts are too heavy to be lifted by hand I support dropping them from a crane on said journalist.

It would be much quicker just to run them over with the crane. Then you could neatly stack the papers on top of the journalist. Of course put a plastic tarp over flat journalist. Don't want to ruin the papers.

Maybe... I guess it depends on the context in which you interpret it.

How can he stay so calm when having to listen to stupidity?
