Bill Nye: Lib States Should Impose Economic Sanctions on States That Don’t Buy Into Global Warming

Bill Nye is most certainly not at all interested in actual science. He’s only interested in demanding that people agree with HIS version of science with no debate. Now he is proposing that liberal states place “economic sanctions” on states that don’t believe in the sketchy science behind “climate change.” Clearly he’s not “Bill Nye The Economic Science Guy.”

He went on MSNBC to propose this grand idea to the world, where he warned conservatives in red states to “watch out,” because progressive blue states are going to “address climate change” by themselves.

“Only 40 percent of people in the U.S. think that Congress should be addressing this and that’s because certain conservative groups, especially from the fossil fuel industry, have been very successful in introducing the idea that scientific uncertainty, plus or minus two percent, is the same as plus or minus 100 percent,” he said during his appearance.

“There’s a lot of emphasis from conservatives on what are writ-large states rights. Just watch out, conservatives, if states rights include California, Illinois, New York — these places that, where people voted in a progressive fashion — watch out if all those places start to address climate change and then impose economic sanctions, either overtly or by default, on places that have not embraced the work that needs to be done,” he continued. “Then you’ll end up with this states rights working the other way.”

Excuse me?

“We’ve got to remind people that we’re all in this together,” he concluded. “The people I think about all the time are what are eloquently stated as the hillbillies. We want to engage everybody. Not working to address climate change is in no one’s best interest. It is not in the best interest, especially of your children and grandchildren. BA couple of times you mentioned that I am against the president and so on. I’m not especially against the president. I just think he’s gotten himself surrounded by people who are willing to mortgage the future, to let the people who are coming into the workforce now pay for the future. This is true, not just with regard to the national debt, which will almost certainly increase the same way it tripled under the beloved Ronald Reagan, not only will that national debt increase, but the climate debt, in a sense, what we have to do to address climate change, will be more and more difficult to pay back or pay down.”

Oh sure, this doesn’t sound like it could go poorly at all. This would never cause any problems.
