But when celebrities continue to push falsehoods, this is what we get:
It's clear that public figures like @BillNye and @neiltyson contribute greatly to scientific illiteracy b/c their political agendas.

And a sad indictment of climate science community that covers for their gaffes, errors and unfounded claims. Spotlight blinds them.

It's critical during hurricane season for media to use megaphone to inform & educate based on facts, not enable charlatans to politicize.
