Actor and entertainer Bill Nye, who calls himself “the science guy” even though he is not a trained scientist, has in the last few years begun to make himself out to be an expert on global warming. Nye’s latest series of wild global warming claims, though, is getting meteorologists hot under the collar.
This week, Bill Nye, the Rachel Dolezal of Science, decided to blame global warming for the fires in Alaska and the floods in Texas.
Here is what “The Liar Guy” posted to Twitter:
Bill floods Texas. Alaska is on fire. Just a little global warming & climate change. Nothing to worry about… pic.twitter.com/l2qAaiytE6

Amusingly, if you go to that Tweet and look at the comment Tweets you’ll see many people who make a living as meteorologists and others just slamming the heck out of Nye’s idiotic claim that Alaska and Texas are experiencing troubles because of global warming.
Take Ryan Breton, a Meteorology student at Penn State and an employee of a Boston TV station’s weather dept., who scoffed at Nye’s claim.
@BillNye you stand for everything that is wrong in the world of climate/atmospheric science

Then there is meteorologist James Spann of Alabama who Tweeted:
@joshwallswx @wxhistorian @BillNye @weatherbrains he couldn't handle people that actually understand how the atmosphere works

The Twitter feed for Weather New Jersey was similarly annoyed with the so-called Science Guy’s blather.
.@BillNye Your hysteric stance is harmful to the scientific body currently researching our true footprint (+.6C temp/+55ppm CO2 since ~1950)

It’s about time this hack pseudo scientist is slapped back down where he belongs.
