  3. Hi Jack Nye isn't a scientist

  4. ILoVeToraVe Bill Nye isn't even a working engineer. He's a tv personality with an undergrad engineering which got him nowhere. Bill Nye has spent just as many years as I have being a professional scientist. Zero

  5. Snakeye808 honorary degrees mean nothing. There's a reason that Bill Nye failed as a mechanical engineer and became a stand up comic.

  6. I Write A Song Every Day How is it based on science?

  8. Clearly, cops have ARs to "kill as many people in as short amount of time as possible. It's the reason for which they were designed."

  9. Apemanwithcalculator biology says absolutely nothing about gender. zero. nothing. you are conflating disciplines.

  10. We decided to have less money by doing it traditionally. We may not have brand new cars or expensive vacations, but we have a successful marriage and healthy kids.

  11. ILoVeToraVe no, he designed a sun dial. Something that had already been invented eons ago. He worked for less than a year for Boeing. Why? Went to school for a ME degree, and doesn't pursue the career?

  17. S B you mean "you". How have you decided to pay proper penance for all of your various subs against mother earth? I'm assuming that you have forgone using any non human powered transportation, electricity, eat vegan and don't use any product not made with natural ingredients (no refined metal, plastics, nylon, etc.) Based on your belief that humans are a blight, anything less from you is complete selfish hypocrisy.

  18. S B stop exhaling so much CO2. You're melting the glaciers. In fact, the only way to be sure is to stop breathing

  19. +ghudner Wow you're a liar. Walmart doesn't sell handguns, they run a instant check on you, and non US citizens can't buy guns at all. Fail.

  20. +ghudner Wrong. We have a federal law that requires a background check in all 50 states

  23. Davinel Ulin-Vega really? prove the consensus that it's BS. That's an emotional reaction by you without even studying the data. While you're at it, prove there is a 97% consensus that climate change is man made (by what %/ vs natural), and that it's dangerous. ALL predictions have been wrong. Every one. Not one climate model has been correcf.

  24. Davinel Ulin-Vega IQ test results are actually the best indicator of success in life. The most accurate IQ test currently in use is the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, and strongly predicts both the test takers capabilities and future success. The intelligence quotient is by far the best way of predicting someone's chances of success. You brand it racist because you disagree, not because you have scientifically studied it. That is the exact reason I brought it up in relation to "climate science denial". Every single assertion you make about it flies right back in your face in relation to everyone you disagree with. Anyone can dig up someone who will confirm your bias. Don't even try to pretend that there was a time you questioned climate change but we're convinced by the facts. Chances are you always have 100% believed it and you enjoy reading things that tell you, in your mind how smart you've always imagined yourself. Most people who are hard core climate change enthusiasts have never bothered to spend one minute entertaining the notion that even some of the information you are being spoon fed can possibly be innacurate, exaggerated, or down right alarmist. There really is very little intellectual curiosity or skepticism at all with this pseudo scientific movement. It's more akin to science cheerleading rather than exploration. Yes, there are intelligent people who are convinced. There's also loads of very stupid people who believe without even studying it.

  25. +Communist Haha! Nice. Good find. We should all go to a general practitioner with an honorary medical degree, or get legal defense from the guy with the honorary law degree. Thanks for the post.
    2
  26. +Communist Wow, I completely misunderstood your post. Bill Nye having an honorary degree speaks to his lack of education and ignorance in science. It does not bolster his credentials. Oprah Winfrey and Bill Cosby have honorary degrees, for gods sake. Why are we listening to a children's show host? Should we be asking Martin ashen what it's like to be the president? They both read cue cards written by scriptwriters.
    2
  27. +Communist An honorary degree isn't worth the paper on which its printed
    2
  28. +Communist He IS just a children's show host. It's what he's known for. Nobody has ever referred to him as Bill Nye The Mechanical Engineer. He never earned a science degree of any sort and has never participated in any scientific research. A scientist is not someone who likes and enjoys science. It is someone who is educated in a scientific field and works in a scientific discipline. Bill Nye is neither. He is a science FAN and a science popularizer. Much like Al Gore, who also took one science course decades ago by a famous scientist. Al isn't a scientist either, though he quotes them often. I seem to remember Bill saying that being skeptical of the big government climate agenda was unpatriotic and unconstitutional. I would consider that a very stupid thing to say.

  29. That's because bill Nye isn't a scientist. Hess much a "science guy" as the guy who takes your order at McDonald's.

  30. Randall Chamberlain I see a mottly croud of angry deplorables burning cars and rioting at colleges because their agenda us being rejected by the very people they ridicule, yet expect to pay for their party

  31. DPOH Productions well, then I guess we're all scientists

  32.  @kd1s  I know exactly what I'm talking about. There's a multitude of reasons electric cars aren't taking off, and no, it's not because of a conspiracy. A Chevy volt isnt an all electric car. It's a hybrid. These cars have massive problems with range, complexity, overheating, etc. They're way more complex than a combustion engine, not simpler. They're also much more expensive. What's worse, the batteries lose capacity over time. Your range decreases the longer you own the car. If you want to get good mileage, and be more green, it makes much more sense to have a small engine conventional car, or better yet drive a scooter. You can get 100 miles to the gallon on one. That's 2-3 cents a mile.

  35. +K Will What are you talking about? 6% is 20 million black men They account for roughly 7000 murder victims. The rest is very small numbers. Sports- a few thousand, inmates- over 2 million. How do the numbers not add up?

  36. AR15s and Glocks are evil weapons of war and only made to murder people. That's why I am holding a police buyback program this weekend on my front lawn. Any police officer who is issued a murderous high capacity assault rifle or assault pistol can easily exchange them for a $50 circuit city gift card and a 1/2 of any burger at Fuddruckers! Save our children. Disarm the government

  37. Jesse I'm curious. A majority of scientists who have studied the subject have found that blacks have an IQ 20 percentage points lower than whites. Do you agree or do you deny science?

  38. guyf321 well, there you go. It's debate able whether or not the conclusions garnered by the 97% of scientists (the vast majority of which are not climate scientists) are conclusive. That figure includes geologists, sociologists, chemists, biologists, botanists, entomologists, etc, etc, etc. They have as much expert opinion as pretty much anyone. They are not climatologists, who are the only ones who's opinion really matters on the subject. There is no 97% consensus with climatologists that the earth is significantly warming due to anthropomorphic causes, and there is no consensus on what will happen in the future. a that's the reason the 97% of scientists figure is used and not 97% of climatologists. You question the validity that IQ is measureable, and I question the validity that climate change is being measured correctly. Neither of us is an expert in either subject, so our opinions weigh the same. You reject a supposed consensus and so do I. No difference.

  39. Davinel Ulin-Vega name one climate model that has turned out to be correct. Your "psychologist" friends (doesn't everyone have a few of them laying around?) should show you the proof of their assertion that IQ is bs. There is over 100 years of study on the subject. Claiming I have shown no proof goes both ways. You personally have shown no proof of a consensus of 97% of climatologists that claim that climate change is majorly caused by man. You have faith that is so, but have you delved into that figure? There is also not a consensus of long term affects. In fact, amongst themselves they disagree a lot on both. You deny studies concerning IQ because it doesn't tell you what you want to hear, yet climate change proponents will claim the same of those who do not agree that man is going up destroy the world and cause the deaths of billions by burning fossil fuels.

  40. Davinel Ulin-Vega btw, I'll just claim I have climatologist friends who believe the climate models are bs. That has as much weight as your claim of your psychologist friends.

  41. Davinel Ulin-Vega I see you use the same debating strategy that 9/11 truthers, flat earthers, neo nazis, and every other extremist online uses- accuse your opposition of being paid opposition rather than realizing that there are 7 billion people in the world and you can't expect everyone to see the world the way you do. Can I assume your being paid to shill by GE, the UN, and the Democrat party? Really, that is a juvenile perspective. I seriously doubt that you have ever taken an honest inventory of your belief structure and challenged it. This used to be mandatory in college, but not anymore. Now, students are taught to find evidence to confirm their concrete view of the world and ferociously attack anyone who dares to question the authority of their statements. Just at face value, it's an affront to logic and reason. Nowadays, people would rather sit back and watch a video that says "see, I told you I was always right!"

  42. Davinel Ulin-Vega is that somehow a convincing argument? they also thought Iraq had WMDs. Again, you are looking for evidence to support your current worldview rather than evidence that might change it. That is why the climate change science fandom movement isn't science. True scientific inquiry attempts to disprove a hypothesis, not only prove it. Again, I can tell you have always believed it and have never tried to think otherwise. You accept it without question. That is something that should never exist in a scientific discussion and conforms more to a faith based mentality.

  43. Davinel Ulin-Vega actually, I'm not in the minority in questioning the methodology, motivations, and agenda of the global warming movement. That is precisely what you guys complain about- that there are so many who won't blindly accept what you always have. You behave as an angry minority and most likely will continue to. Climate change legislation is predicated on one mechanism- taxing first world nationson their CO2 output and transferring the money to the developing economies. No wonder those countries agree. I would too if you promised me billions of future money I had to do nothing to recieve. China and India will never agree to any climate legislation because they understand what it is- an agreement to never improve their economic situation. The fact that you use the phrase "believe what you want" confirms that climate change is exactly that for you- a belief, rather than a preponderance of evidence that you have tried to disprove but found it impossible to do so. You hold a belief that doesn't rely on facts because you assume those who tell you it are infallible.

  45. +HG Shurtugal Bill Nye is not an evolutionary scientist. He doesn't have any science degrees whatsoever. He's a host of a children's television show and that it. This is like asking the cast of Scrubs medical advice!

  47. Thomas Hilton man, you've drank up those lies, huh? gender disphotia is a mental disorder., no different that anorexia. there is no scientific basis in anything you claimed. In fact, it's rooted in sociology, which is a bullshit duscipline.
