UPDATE: video added below.
Tonight CFACT’s Marc Morano vs. Bill Nye the Science Guy CNN, Piers Morgan
9 PM EST
Marc Morano, Editor in Chief of Climate Depot, takes on Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Piers Morgan show, CNN 9 PM tonight (Tuesday) check your cable TV and satellite listing for Channel numbers
If you haven’t yet seen Marc in action, don’t miss this chance to see him live. Maybe he will ask about this video fiasco Nye did with Al Gore:
Why did they have to fake the experiment in post production if it was “high school science’ and so easy to replicate? Why hasn’t Nye called for this video to be removed from Gore’s website? (Still there over a year later) at http://climaterealityproject.org/video/ very first one top left.
Transcript at Newsbusters here
Thanks for letting us know, Anthony.
I watched the “interview”; Two against one and still Marc was able to hold his place, but just barely (IMHO). It was really a silly inquisition, not an interview.

cjames…..what would you propose he do exactly when the host sides with the other participant of the ‘debate’ and allows him to interrupt the other side but not vice versa. Nye is an insult and an incompetent enbarassment to the rest of us with an iron ring.
Is it up already?

Perhaps slightly OT but please have a look at this public opinion response to the UN “call to arms” at Doha. The first post says it all. The tide has definitely turned.

Fair enough, trafamadore , can you intelligently dispute any of the claims made by Marc. Or are you just another “shouting jerk”?
Bill Nye couldn’t. Can you?

Let’s hear your rebuttal to the points Marc made.

Nicole,
An airhead would of course use worthless ad hominem attacks just like you have been doing. You cannot post any evidence showing that anthropogenic CO2 causes global warming, because there is no such empirical evidence. So lacking scientific facts, you do your drive-by ad-hom attacks. It’s all you’ve got. You impress nobody here, you only expose your airhead anti-science.
And FYI, there are plenty of published, peer reviewed scientists who write articles here and who comment here — and who disagree with your emotional, content-free opinion. So get over your hot flashes, and start posting some verifiable facts for a change. If you can.
=======================================================================
What did Nicole say when Bill Nye blew in her ear?
“Thanks for the refill!”
Well, it finally made it to the West Coast… Piers Morgan was clearly 100% engaged with the Warmers point of view. 2 on 1.
With that said, Marc could have been a bit less ‘shouty’ and a bit more ‘polite authority’. He won on facts and truth, but lost on ‘sounds believable and authoritative’..
Hey Marc, way to go buddy, you made the “Science Guy” look good. Maybe if you spoke faster you would get to more people. You lost to Piers Morgan and the science idiot at the same time. I am on your side but for Christ’s sake get some sleep before you turn into a rabid animal who needs to be shot.
Reg Nelson says: “Fair enough, trafamadore , can you intelligently dispute any of the claims made by Marc. Or are you just another “shouting jerk”?”
Thank you for the “Fair enuf”
SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET IS LIKE THIS!
Or using bold or colors. Very tacky, reminds me of my great grandmothers wall paper and cheesy little B/W reprints in metal frames on the wall of the staircases.
So, no, I do not shout.
Nye is a soft spoken guy who talks about things and Morano was shouting over him like a jerk. Nye was sitting back, and it was only the moderator who directly challenged Morano. Nye gets his chance to speak often enuf, tonight wasnt it was it? From V for Vendetta: “Words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth.”
My take on this is like the argument on creationism. Anti science, or selective science, is not for a debating club audience, and both sides are really not equal. The facts, alll of them, need to be out in the open, and evaluated. You can’t do that when someone is shouting selective data to say the earth temperature hasnt risen in 16 years. And debating web site “data” and news articles against peer reviewed science is silly. Conjecture and opinion against reality? Really? Reality wins, no debate necessary. Do you think scientists at meetings have “debates”. No they do not. They present papers and walk away irritated. At least that’s my experience. Okay, we sometimes have testy conversations over beer and wine. But polite…we are very polite. (We might be wrong, you know)
“intelligently dispute”? Well the stupid “16 years with no warming” is one that is tiresome.
Because, the “16” is cherry picked to be exactly on the 98 El Niño. If you use 17 years or 15 years, it doesn’t work. Not only that, but you can only use one data set; most others still show warming. If your answer is that, “Well, that is true for that particular time interval, and you can not argue with it” , then I say you are using a lie to mislead people. Sadly, I think that is the objective for many.
In my view the stupidest comment by any of the three on Piers Morgan was when Piers himself tried to link the recent rainstorms in California on AGW. This is ridiculous, since there was nothing out of the ordinary about Northern California getting five to ten inches of rain in four days. It used to happen routinely in the 1980s, BEFORE anyone was into AGW and BEFORE the warming of the nineties occurred. The truth is, we get, if anything, less of these storms than we did before the nineties warming, so how could a good old fashioned storm be evidence that warming is increasing? Its just typical Californian winter weather and not all that extreme by our standards – Guerneville did not even go under water :).
“Nicole says:
Do you people go to your politicians for a medical? Why are you going to them for climate change issues?
Ask a scientist.”
For that reason. Some of the socalled Iconic Alarmist Climate scientists have far less scientific qualifications in various fields of science and in particular some of them have actually ZERO scientific qualifications in Climate or meteorology for that matter and yet, they get to be Climate Scientists. LOL.
Meanwhile the Non Alarmist ‘evil’ skeptical scientists can turnout to be even more scientifically qualified than they’re and that includes those who’re Climate scientists. So if science qualifications are to go on. The Skeptical scientists should be more likely the ones we should be taken more notice of then?
Wait, how is the 1998 El Nino 16 years ago?
2012 – 16 = 1996…
Trafamadore – I’m looking, right now, at the graph that’s being used for the “16 years” claim, and they clearly COULD use 1998’s El Nino peak to make their point STRONGER, but they avoid it. It really doesn’t look like cherry picking to me, it looks like the optimal place to pick to make the point that one side is making.
At the very, VERY least, the warming is significantly less than expected, regardless of which dataset you’re using.
Bill Nye the Science Guy…..
I used to love watching his show. That’s all clouded over now by his political droning.
@ur momisugly trafamadore says December 4, 2012 at 9:34 pm ” … Conjecture and opinion against reality? … ”
Your opinion of the NIPCC Reports ( http://www.nipccreport.org/reports/2011/2011report.html ), please. The peer-reviewed science journal-published papers cited within them in support of the assessments made there by scientists is ……….. not real?

If you use 17 years or 15 years, it doesn’t work.
See the following for three data sets for exactly 180 months or 15 years.

(P.S. I agree with you about the 17 years. But be patient.)
Newsbusters has the whole 11 minute segment and a transcript up for those that missed it on CNN.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/12/04/climate-realist-marc-morano-debates-bill-nye-science-guy-global-warmi
Whatever the merits of the avalanche of facts he spewed, Morano missed an opportunity here. Appearances count. He’s clearly a smart,
capable guy, who came off as a bomb-thrower and completely unpersuasive. He just rambles off a bunch of unconnected facts. No theme. No real argument. Fail. Morgan – inane. Nye, idiot quack.
This seems to be pick on Nicole night…and I’m sorry, but I have one thing to add, and this is not against Nicole at all, rather something for her to consider.
She used Albert Einstein as an example: “Albert Einstein worked at the Federal Office for Intellectual Property, the patent office, as an assistant examiner.” – perhaps she had never read this quote by Professor Einstein “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”
Real science has falsifiable premises built in that when found negate the assertion that is being attempted to be proven, whereas many Climate Science predictions have failed, yet I never see some of those scientists acknowledging these problems (an early example being the predicted troposphere hot spot that has never occurred).
Watch a short video of Richard Feynman speaking about falsifiability in science.
Unless a field of science speaks clearly on its own falsifiability is it truly something to consider as something other than hot air that people are using to try to protect their jobs/careers.
Sorry for my silence. It’s a late night of work for me!
I assure you that I AM the skeptical scientist.and a response will come as soon as I have time! I did not intend to spark such wide criticism with my few words. However, I’ll counter it!
Should be noted J.R. that someone used that AGAINST me! I took a life-changing class that included Falsifiability!
Furthermore, and as a shallow response, Einstein had already begun his scientific development and graduated when he took that Patent office job.
@ur momisugly Rosco says: “1 K per hour rate of cooling (on the moon)”
On earth a typical cool down from High and low temperatures is a drop of about 16 Kelvin
Since 1 K per hour is less then a typical drop on earth what am I missing here?
Thank you
Any chance some technological genius can put this on U-Tube so the rest of the World can watch?
Bill Nye, the science guy:
“hottest period in recorded history” . Lie
Fraudulent, rigged high school science experiment for Al Gore. Lie.
