Bill Nye Batters Republicans, Fox News With Emotional Plea On Climate Change
“The Science Guy” offered three words to conservative lawmakers while
addressing Hurricane Ian's impact.
Bill Nye <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/bill-nye> has a request for GOP
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/gop> lawmakers, Fox News
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fox-news> and Tucker Carlson
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/tucker-carlson> following the dozens of
deaths, damaged homes and flooded roads due to Hurricane Ian’s impact last
week
<https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ian-search-for-survivors_n_63381d42e4b04cf8f3632baa>.
“If we don’t acknowledge there’s a problem, we’re not going to get it done,”
Nye, better known as “The Science Guy,” told CNN
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/cnn>’s Jim Acosta on Saturday.
Nye, who reflected on Ian’s size and its economic impact on Florida, spoke
about how climate change plays a role in hurricanes as well as actions people
can take to address climate change on their own.
Then, he spoke directly to Republicans
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republicans> in Congress:
“And so I just want to ask conservative lawmakers to cut it out. I understand
that you want to get reelected. I understand that you have this primary
system which motivates you to get these hardcore conservative voters engaged.
But look, you’ve just, just cut it out.”
Nye didn’t mention Fox News <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fox-news> or
Carlson by name, but referred to an “infamous, notorious” host of a
“competitive, conservative” network who he said cherry-picked hurricane data.
“This data, it’s not an out-and-out lie but it is absolutely misleading and I
just ask everybody on the other side to cut it out,” Nye said.
