Bill Nye Defend Climate Change on Stossel

This is a video of Bill Nye the science guy defending the existence of the global warming disaster (if the embed doesn’t work, here is the site). He’s on the libertarian Fox Business show, Stossel.

I’ve been critical of Bill Nye before, but he performed the interview very well against a very tough crowd. The “debate” seems to have been sliced and diced by the editors too, and given Stossel’s audience, this probably wasn’t very favorable to Bill Nye. I commend how Bill Nye stood there and attempted to work through the logic of global warming with his opponents, rather than get bogged down on the statistics. Climate varies enough naturally that there’s no way to predict what would have happened otherwise, so most of these graphs don’t prove much one way or another. But working through the logic of carbon emissions to greenhouse gases to a warming effect is very difficult to dispute.
