Paul Westhaver writes in Tips and Notes:
CNN talking empty head (Feyerick) asks Bill Nye if approaching Meteor was a result of global warming…. but Bill’s response is oddly disquieting.
“Except it’s all science,” Nye said rescuing Feyerick. “The word meteorology and the word meteor come from the same root, so…”
Nye went on to discuss the asteroid which has missed impacting earth by 15 minutes. He says if this body were to impact over a populated area like New York City, that municipality would be completely leveled.
It gets worse. Mumbles McGuirk adds in Tips and Notes:
[T]his Saturday MSNBC broadcast with Bill Nye explaining that GW will cause storms to spin counter-clockwise in the ‘new normal.’
Bill Nye explains the science of storms
Bill Nye “The Science Guy” joins MSNBC’s Craig Melvin to talk about how climate change contributed to this weekend’s blizzard in the Northeast.

Gotta love the way Nye explains the Coriolis force.
We can only hope the stupid burns up in the atmosphere, either by re-entry or Global Warming.

Does anybody realize how stupid society is becoming, or at least how stupid the “news” is? Society is being dumbed down, and the number of news reports that talk about “climate change” every time we have “weather” is a direct proxy to the reduction of national average IQ.
Does ANYONE watch CNN anymore…SERIOUSLY??? Bleahhh…
“GW will cause storms to spin counter-clockwise in the ‘new normal.’”
Oh my … I wonder if he thinks that storms (and I am assuming he is thinking NH cyclonic circulations ) currently spin clockwise (with a north being “up” frame of reference). Scary how much respect this guy gets from the media.
Has the headline writer gotten “meteor” vs “meteorite” sorted out or is “meteor” what Bill Nye said? It is 5.00 am here and people are asleep. Playing video with sound is a ‘no-no’.
Please stick to your day job Bill and leave us alone.
I firmly believe that, without a scientific foundation or decent education, more and more of these people will show up, and then every imagination will be valid.
Perhaps cAGW will cause the parallel universes to coalesce, and storms will enter in from that nether dimension.
Maybe Romulans and Kardassians (related to the Kardashians?—the names are too similar to rule out) will enter from the neutral zone of the future?
Reality and fantasy are merging…”Major Tom calling ground control!”

does Gore know this?………………..snark
Bill Nye the Political Science guy.
When asked the question he says “no no” over her, it’s not clear. But he’s definitely not suggesting what this post implies.
Beyond parody.
That msnbc clip is a hoot. When it comes to meteorology, Bill gets that deer-in-the-headlights look.

Because Bill is “The Science Guy”, everybody else is excused from doing their own thinking. Excused; as in you’re excused from class.
Bill Nye, you’re no science guy, turn in your bow tie.
This exchange pretty much confirms that Bill Nye’s role as contributor to CNN is to support whatever globalist agenda CNN is peddling (as per Ted Turner) as opposed to providing objective independent scientific insight. The normal reaction would have been to immediately dismiss what Feyerick implied as nonsense, but Nye knows he is a ‘tool’ of CNN, so disagreeing with the presenter was not something that would come naturally to him.
Marc Morano eviscerated Nye on Piers Morgan back in Dec-2012, and that was despite Morano quite clearly being one against two in that debate.
The integrity of CNN is the main issue that I am concerned with, as opposed to Bill Nye, as he is just one contributor. There has been a recent trend of becoming increasingly brazen in their advocacy, as opposed to at least trying to give the impression that they are impartial presenters and “moderators” of debates.
Liberal Skeptic:
Even your post is confused and convoluted. What are you saying?
When Joe Bastardi is in the mood to clown around at WeatherBELL, he does a forecast with his blood-pressure cuff on. Someone ought have him watch the Bill Nye MSNBC clip wearing that blood-pressure cuff. The gizmo would likely explode. Also the incredulous expressions on Joe’s face would be priceless.
“Nye went on to discuss the asteroid which has missed impacting earth by 15 minutes.”
We’re very lucky. If we had just a little more CO2 in the air, we’d have been hit. As you may know, carbon dioxide creates a kind of ‘super gravity’ whenever it gets above 350 ppm concentrations. This super gravity is especially powerful on rocks in vacuums. It’s all very technical. Don’t bother looking it up. Frankly, I’m amazed didn’t hit us.
Is CNN still serving free booze in the “Green” room?
I learned way back in grade school in the 1960’s why storms spin counter-clockwise. I guess Bill must have been out sick when that was explained in his school.
I’m coming to the conclusion that believing in AGW causes a drop in intelligence.
Hahahahaha.
A least he doesn’t pretend to be a surgeon. As for the anchor, I presume this is the only employment she could find. The rest required actual brains.
This isn’t the only reason we don’t take Bill Nye serious anymore. He has been suffering from malignant dumbness for quite some time now.
This reminds me of the physicist who was asked why the water level in a toilet moved up and down when the wind blew. He credited that motion to the wind whipping around the water tower and causing pressure variations. He did retire 6 months later.
Primitive cultures would often ascribe natural events to human behavior. The Gods were said to be angry. The effect of this sort or rhetoric was to give the political class and the high priests control over the society. The population believed that the high priests knew what would keep the gods happy, and by extension, keep them safe. So the propulsion would go along with whatever the priests said to do. If that meant sacrificing a virgin, then do be it.
The Global Warming hysteria is leading us back to primitivism, with guys like Bill Nye and Al Gore claimg to be the high priests.
How can she even come up with the question?
Surely no one in the US is going to take this seriously, are they?
Oh dear.
