Gone was the Nye of the ’90s, the man whose show was a middle school substitute teacher’s secret weapon. This was the Science Guy of 2019, delivering a profanity-laden sermon.

Bill Nye, shown above in Washington in 2017, criticized elected officials' response to global warming Sunday on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” By Reis Thebault Reis Thebault National and breaking news reporter Email Bio Follow May 13 at 6:26 PM Bill Nye frolicked in a ball pit to explain how the planet’s populations compete for resources.

And he had a message for his erstwhile pupils, especially those who eventually became members of Congress. Nye appeared to endorse the trademark legislation proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , telling lawmakers they needed to do something and chiding those who have said the Green New Deal is prohibitively expensive. As he spoke into the camera, the globe continued to burn.

kentingley I've got a better idea let's start a war with iran. that should cool things down!

You ignore the facts to suit your own agenda. Thousands of legit scientists have come out against the global climate alarmists like yourself with credible facts/figures disputing global warming. Your manipulation of the data and facts is alarming and proves you to be a charlatan.

AidanRGallagher No one is stalling on climate change. Our nation is leading the way in the use of solar, wind, and other alternative sources of energy. The landfill in my city even collects the methane given off by decaying garbage and uses it as fuel. That isnt stalling.

BoSnerdley Very scientific. Lol

BoSnerdley 1) he’s not a scientist 2) it was on that hate show nobody watches

Never trust an emotional scientist.

arctechinc dcexamin ComoMaro1,As long as it has to do with CLimate GlobalChange we're all for it..1~

ptyblueyegrl It's cold today, that means global warming is a hokes

BoSnerdley Calm down freak! It’s hard to take someone who dresses like Pee Wee serious.

The fake science guy

BoSnerdley

BoSnerdley Desperate for relevance

Didn't he catch a plastic globe 🌎on fire and start using the F word? But we are the idiots?

The idiots are the people who follow Bill Nye the non-science guy.

Man contributes 3-4% of all CO2 emissions, The US contributes 15% of that 3-4. Even if co2 were the primary climate driver, and that is not proven, what can we really do about it? The left wants the US to lead on this. If we do lead, it will be to our demise.

Why would you two ve him he is an actor who gets Pai d to say anything not a scientists.

Another lying and hysterical leftwing lunatic reveals his fascist ideology; Bill Nye, the fake-science guy.

KimKardashian

The left believing that cursing and name calling are serious arguments is highly entertaining.

Another example of the Cassandra Complex. Countries will get it right when need it, like with the ozone. People needs to be conscious about it too. That helps elect proper leaders. Unless hunger is greater than everything else.

BoSnerdley billnye is a wacko!

Once an honest review of the data has been done, it is easy to see how the present state of climate on Earth is most likely a product of natural cycles.

BoSnerdley Being called names and watching an obscene crazed man run on about the end of the world convinced me.

AGW is a Fraud.

I am not a Scientist but I play one on TV.

wretchardthecat New Ice Age Ozone Hole Acid Rain Global Warming ... Seems like there is a climate panic every few years and the only solution is...less individual liberty. Odd isn't it?

Nye’s scientific use of f-bomb and a blow torch have convinced me to quit driving my air conditioned 4x4 truck ... or NOT! What is Nye’s effing carbon footprint?!

BoSnerdley Bill DeNye

BoSnerdley Nye jumped the shark a long time ago.

He's not a scientist. He doesn't matter.

It was pretty awesome burning plastic and saying we are all idiots for denying climate change at the same time. That kids is called irony.

Amen..stupid is STUPID... lets be very clear on that Point..cut the Politically correct..Trumpites can only dish it..cant take it... and that is Stupid.

👍👍🇺🇸

That extreme insanity is right under the surface in most libs, just waiting for the slightest provocation to erupt..

It was a fabulous segment.

LOOOL. His inner pomposity revealed.

Funding must be drying up

Lol, & we all should listen to this freak BillNye bc he gets angry & flaunts the F word. Go live with the other freak AOC bc the world will end in 12 years. FreakParty LiberalMeltdown

Please send him to China and India to obtain their assistance. Once they are verifiably complying and paying their fair share.............

Bill Nye isn't even a scientist or expert. As soon as wealthy people leave their homes on the beaches of FL, I'll believe in global warming.

Just another angry old white guy from the left.

Even though I support his message, there's just something about this guy that really puts me off... Is it the tie? His face? Or just the way he talks to people. He just comes off as an elitist prick!

He totally convinced me, by burning a plastic globe and spitting out a few F bombs. Not really. Nye isn't even a scientist. His opinion doesn't factor facts.

If its such a 'FACT', why do tools like Bill Nye have to constantly sell it?

It's one thing if you're 10 and believe this guy is a scientist but if you're a grown ass adult and think of him as more than just an actor then you must be a democrat.

The Great Lakes and Upper midwest was once all ice. Then it melted. There were no people, no cars, no factories. Just weather. Just long range weather.

I'm with Bill Nye, the science guy!

The science guy is not a scientist by any stretch and just showed his true colors.

Putting it mildly!!

lol ,,,,lol ,,,, lol ok how stupid do you have to be to listen to this guy about science.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 'Scientist' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

His credentials are totally legitimate which makes me laugh at all the morons on here calling this man stupid. Unbelievable

You seemed to have left out a word.

The non-science science guy.

It’s vision. These guys have none. They only visualize re-election. Then there’s imagination. They can’t imagine a world without dirty water and unsafe air. Next is scope. The problem is just too damn big, so let’s get our’s while we can.

Bill Nye is a fraud, a TV actor with no credibility but a few seasons of scripted entertainment. His degrees are worthless and weak. And frankly, the guy is a goofball.

Stunning and brave.

Certain groups and people only get real loud about their issues when a Republican president is in office. These issues do not stop being important, right? So, they should be loud all the time, no matter what.

Lol... Makes him look like a moron!!!! The earth is NOT on fire. Far from it.

Trace CO2, 400 PPM, is going to destroy the earth? 😂😂😂antiscience

Mechanical engineer turned comic giving climate advice? LMAO

Plastics and co2 will rapidly excerbate human extinction. Y''all better get woke.

Don’t they know the polar ice caps melted 7 years ago? We know because Al Gore told us that back in 2001. Pay attention

It's about money. Who cares about how many trees are cut down or smog in the air. How much money can it put in my pocket.

We stand with BillNye and everyone around the globe who are highlighting and fighting climate change. everybodyvsinjustice sxsw billnye

Because name calling, ridiculing, bullying and fear mongering which are no longer being accepted for school aged children, had to find an new outlet in the adult community? Seriously does anyone thing anyone learns or listens to such stunts? Leaders influence change.

He’s not a real scientist lol

Bill Nye is an actor. Who exactly is the idiot here?

Bill has become a bit unhinged.

I believe it may have been 'motherfucking idiots' or the like. (Can't access the article, saw the show...) You see, 'splaining photosynthesis to you when you're 12 is one thing... BillNye

I chose not to take scientific advice from a man who isn’t even a scientist, meteorologist or ecologist. A mechanical engineer turned TV personality conducting kids science tricks is not the one who I consult to determine the lot of a 4B year old planet.

What are Nye's credentials?

The world's top scientists once thought those who believed the earth was round we're idiots

Did he give the message in China, Indonesia, Brazil & Africa......the real problem countries behind climate change

Makes sense that progressives love a washed up host of a kids show.

BillNye LiberalPrivilege

I’m not a scientist, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Take note realDonaldTrump

The chief print idiots actually printed this garbage. The biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind

Quando não existir mais Planeta, todos nós seremos os 'idiots'. Traduz ai se quiser entender. Não vou escrever inglês. 👍

The Sham Wow guy of climate change scam government grants(taxpayer funded) sounds desperate. If this is your go to guy for climate change, go ahead & fold up.that tent.

Youtube Geo Carlin He EXPLAINS IT. Without Climate change THERE would be NO HUMAN RACE!! Remember the ICE?

Just looked outside. The world is not, in fact, on fire.

Climate change is natural process and humans can not make any climate change.

Perhaps the idiots should listen to him.

You tell em Bill!!!!

👏👏👍 He's so right

Says the tv guy with the rhyming name. 😝

Sounds like Bill Nye is a propagandist fearmonger. I'll never listen to this idiot. twogenders
