The Simpleton Speaks

I've always suspected Bill Nye was more clever than smart, and now I have proof:

How should reporters write about lawmakers and others who dispute the scientific consensus that climate change is largely driven by humans? A group of 48 scientists, science writers, and other experts—including popular educator Bill Nye—have some strong views on the subject.

The group issued a statement last week taking the media to task for using the phrase "climate skeptic," saying that the word "denier" is more accurate.

Well there Billy Boy, I suggest you stick to entertaining 10-year olds with baking soda volcanoes and leave the heavy intellectual lifting to the real adults.
