Bill Nye says it's time to grow up and realize the planet is on fire
CNN ^ | May 13, 2019 | Chloe Melas

Bill Nye wants to remind you of the seriousness of global warming and he's not mincing words.

The well known science commentator appeared on "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" on Sunday and put things bluntly while talking about the Green New Deal, introduced by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey.

Nye wants you to know, "The planet's on [expletive] fire."

"By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another four to eight degrees," Nye said. "What I'm saying is the planet's on [expletive] fire. There are a lot of things we could do to put it out -- are any of them free? No, of course not. Nothing's free, you idiots. Grow the [expletive] up. You're not children anymore. I didn't mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12. But you're adults now, and this is an actually crisis, got it? Safety glasses off, [expletive]."

It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire, how about yours?
That’s the way I like it and I never get bored

Yeah. That’s why it’s near freezing a couple weeks away from June on the East Coast.

Oh, wait... I forgot, in leftist-logic-land hot=global warming and cold=global warming too, so they always win and we always pay.

I am trying to get my kid’s school to stop using his garbage. It’s incredible the amount of incorrect statements, assumptions, and plain out lies in his material.

Before we go any further making fun of the guy for acting like a loon, could we get a clarification if this is more “dry humor” or if he believes he’s serious.

“The well known science commentator appeared on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”

makes sense ... after all, the John Oliver show is THE choicest forum for all serious scientists when they wish to present their latest scientific discoveries to their peers ...

If the planet is on fire it’s because God has had enough and he’s getting ready to incinerate.

Hey, Bill, inasmuch as I’d like to unscrew your head and crap down your neck, I don’t want to stand in line that long so everyone in front of me gets their turn first.

Oh, come on, Bill. Where's your stones? Where's that definitive "will"? And a date! Give a date for the end of the world! 12 years? That long enough?

Didn’t feel like fire to me.
