OFFICIAL TESTIMONY of Bill Nye More Than One Problem at a Time For a Hearing on “Examining Climate Change: A Threat to the Homeland”
Before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery of the Committee on Homeland Security
Tuesday, 8 June 2021
Excerpt: Climate change is frightening. The effects and changes are so big and coming so fast that many of us are in denial about the consequences. I’ve come to believe that climate change contrarians especially are just scared. So am I. You’ve probably read recent reports concerning decreasing birth rates worldwide. Ask around. Women and men everywhere are thinking twice about bringing kids into a world that’s on fire. It’s time to take action now.
By comparing Earth’s atmosphere with those of Mars and Venus, we have come to understand the importance of carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect. Per predictions by researchers at Exxon going back at least to that same 1977, greenhouse gasses are inducing climate change here on Earth, and it is happening now on larger and larger scales: bigger storms, more floods, more droughts, more fires, more loss of shoreline, and more businesses and people displaced as the ocean swells. Therefore, the sooner we stop adding greenhouses gases to our air, the better off we have a chance of being. If we don’t stop, more of these events will happen; more of them will happen at the same time, and that will increase the likelihood of convergent problems. Ask any Martian or Venusian.

Science-Denier Bill Nye: Is It Time To ‘Penalize People For Having Extra Kids?’
Nye: So, should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?
Travis Rieder: I do think that we should at least consider it.
Bill Nye: Well, “at least consider it” is like “Do it.”
Travis Rieder: One of the things that we could do that’s kind of least policy-ish is we could encourage our culture and our norms to change, right?

Joe Bastardi: Was Bill Nye’s death wish for climate realists a veiled call to violence?
“According to Nye, both him and Mann are frequently asked two common questions: “What can I do about climate change,” and “What can be done to convince someone who’s a climate denier?” Nye calls these the $10 trillion questions, because climate deniers are so “dug in” to their beliefs, which only makes it harder to convince them of what the science suggests.
The only definitive way to see significant action to prevent climate change is to simply wait for deniers and contrarians to “age out,” according to Nye. “There’s an old saying — ‘science proceeds one funeral at a time,’” Nye said, “but it’s not happening fast enough.”

2017: Watch: Morano on Fox News slams Bill Nye for wanting skeptics dead: Older people are ‘less susceptible to Nye’s propaganda’– Morano on Fox: “This is in line with the debate of intimidation and science, and Bill Nye is the leader of that now, unfortunately, and a big influence with young minds and that’s why he’s so confident he can convert the young people to climate action but he is having trouble with anyone his age and older because frankly they’re wiser and they have experienced a lot, so they are less susceptible to his propaganda.”

Nye on HBO: “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 f***ing 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 f**k 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 actual crisis, got it? Safety glasses off, motherf***ers.”
Bill Nye: “AOC gets it. She sees that fear is dividing us. We can address income inequality. We can address climate change, if we get together and get to work.”
