Bill Nye the Science Guy: Climate change more important than economy [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | 5-9-2012 | Michelle Fields

Posted on 05/10/2012 6:26:07 AM PDT by servo1969

Bill Nye the Science Guy told the Daily Caller on Tuesday that climate change is a bigger problem than the economy or high unemployment.

He also said that “this notion that government is inherently bad is new,” and after the November election, President Barack Obama will “have a freer hand.”

Bill Nye, who was in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday speaking on behalf of the Planetary Society, said that he is “very concerned about climate change,” adding that, “you can talk about the economy and short-term jobs and so on — but there are much bigger problems.”

On the president, who Nye supported in his first run, the former television host said, “He has a lot of constraints until he gets re-elected. He can’t do what, certainly, my parents would have thought were routine things — social programs. This notion that government is inherently bad is new.” Nye added. “Whoever’s in charge can’t do anything about it until after the election. … He’ll have a freer hand.”

""This notion that government is inherently bad is new.”"

Tell that to our founding fathers who created this paradise you were raised in you idiot. You may have a science degree, but your way of thinking outside that realm is truly asinine.

Billie boy is absolutely correct. Global warming lie is a bigger problem than the economy because it is a LIE and a POWER GRAB FOR YOUR MONEY, a TOOL for CONTROLLING the assets of innocent people.

I would say liberals are a bigger problem than the economy.

Nye attended “Sidwell Friends” school, so it’s not big wonder he grew up a flaming liberal. Also, he has a BS degree and an “honorary” doctorate.

Plus his degree is in mechanical engineering, not physics or anything to do with climatology.

In a sense, he’s right. It’s more important to expose the real agenda of the global warming/climate change frauds, as their primary goal is to change our economy and implement a socialist, centrally planned system. The environmental movement hasn’t really been about the environment for some time now, but just another prong of attack of the left to destroy America. Removing the bogus EPA and its ridiculous regulations will go a long way to stimulating business and thus jobs.

Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines released more green house gases than the Industrial Revolution. How are we supposed to undo all the volcanoes, human activity and the heat form the sun?

Bill Nye is just another media moron.
He may have a mechanical engineering degree, but so do I, and that only said he attended class.

Bill was funny when he was in a comedy troupe. Not so much now.
