Bill Nye specifically targeted the elderly this week as he spoke out against climate change deniers, saying that climate science will start to advance when old people start to "age out," according to a report.
The "Science Guy" said that generationally, the majority of climate change deniers are older.
"Climate change deniers, by way of example, are older. It's generational," Nye told the Los Angeles Times. Nye said that he is calling them out with "due respect," acknowledging that he is "now one of them."
"We're just going to have to wait for those people to 'age out,' as they say," Nye went on, adding that "age out" is a euphemism for "die." "But it'll happen, I guarantee you that'll happen."
I have to admit he looks older than 61.
There is a form of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect that applies to government. People can figure out government is lying to them about one item, but turn around and believe everything the government tells them about something else.
Not sure it is amnesia. Perhaps they just believe what they want to believe and it doesn’t matter what the truth is. If government is corrupt, why wouldn’t I expect most of its people to be corrupt?
Old people need to die out because too many of them remember the apocalyptic predictions from decades ago that never came to fruition. Just a week or so ago, Prince Charles’s 96 months ended and the globe is still spinning.
Ditto!
burn the books while you're at it....
Sounds like he is volunteering.
Bill, just because Logan’s Run was termed science fiction does not mean you should you encourage its premise.
In the words of Professor Proton, “Back off, bow tie.”
Translation-
“we’ve managed to indoctrinate most of the youth so we need the older generations to drop dead so we can move forward”
How “Soviet” of Bill.
With pronouncements like this you can see the makings of how the left routinely “purged” the opposition in the past.
“Bill Nye: Older people need to ‘die’ out before climate science can advance”
Bill Nye REALLY means older people need to die out before climate PROPAGANDA can advance.
Bump, lest we forget.
“Could it be that older people remember that Nye and the other scammers have been predicting climate and population catastrophes for decades and they have all been WRONG??? The younger generation is stupid enough to believe anything they see on TV or hear from their Leftist teachers.”
You nailed it exactly.
That 60% figure may apply to white libs (in terms of believing in man-made climate change), but I see no indication any other demographic believes it. When young people start walking/bicycling everywhere voluntarily, I’ll believe that THEY believe. Otherwise, it is lip service to pretend to be enlightened (often to have sex with someone who also pretends to care).
Bill Nye just admitted that his “science” is actually politics.
Very true (and very scary); the Soviets had to eliminate the middle class so they could create a permanent underclass which never knew anything else.
“Animal Farm” depicts this at work in brilliant fashion...especially with the young animals being used to mindlessly echo mantras for effect (just like young leftists today).
FU, Speed Racer.
You first, Billy Boy!
And people think that regimes that will kill off part of a population is ancient history. This POS Nye is not alone in the solution to problems: murder of those opposed or too costly to the state. They have no qualms about killing babies,the elderly and dream of concentration camps for "deniers".

Bill Nye has just solicited for the street corner marksman to use him as a walking target.
