He sounds like a highly competent scientist ...

Based on that resume, he sounds like a competent engineer with a bachelor's degree, not a scientist.

Am I missing something?

Your description is better than mine. My point was, he is smart enough to know the truth about global warming, but he is political enough either to not remain wilfully ignorant, or if he knows the truth, to ignore it to advance an agenda he supports.

My point is, he is not some ignorant dweeb who has been brainwashed by CNN on AGW and is incapable of feretting out the truth. He either knows the truth and is lying or he refuses to learn the truth because he knows what he will find.

That’s too bad. I liked Nye. He reached a lot of kids. I guess he can spell the word science, but he doesn’t understand the scientific method. Hypothesis - experiment - analysis - published results - peer review - confirmation of results - conclusion.

Since ‘climate change’ has nothing going for it scientifically, why should patriotism factor in at all?

There wouldn’t be a debate if the science was legitimate. It isn’t, so there’s debate.

Prove the theory Bill, whatever that theory is at this point, and we’ll all shut up and wait for the Green Police to come cavity search me for using incandescents and not mercury bulbs.

I suspect it's something far more pragmatic that drives Mr. Nye: He likes his job and wants to keep it.

Nye! I’m 61 years old, have a MS in the hard Sciences, spent over 20 years in the Army and your calling me Unpatriotic. Come and say that to my face you cowardly dirt-bag.

Believing what people tell you because they call you names when they can’t state their case = patriotism?
