As Twitchy reported, Bill Nye on Monday left his kids’ TV host persona behind and posted a short video of himself setting a globe alight, telling us that “the planet’s on f**king fire!” and we’d better support the Green New Deal. He’s not kidding around anymore and posting photos of The Weather Channel on his TV … this was science.
Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, who immediately signed onto the Green New Deal and then didn’t vote for it when it was brought to the Senate floor for a vote (no one voted for it), thought Nye had produced some great content and decided to retweet it.
Still don’t think we should act on climate change? Ask @BillNye the science guy…pic.twitter.com/KYIvRpvxdC

Embarrassing. https://t.co/kyF1hSvJIM

Perhaps research is essential on using sources …. he’s a failed mechanical engineer … not a scientist of any sort … basically an actor, pretending and regurgitating talking points ….

#BillNyeTheScienceGuy is a TV character, @BillNye is just a guy. Should we also be taking medical advice from Clooney because he played a Dr on ER?

Who isn’t actually a legit scientist?? pic.twitter.com/Z3iNW3cKeR

The “scientist” is maybe whomever wrote his cue cards. But I doubt that, too.

He. Is. Not. A. Scientist.

Bill Nye is not "the science guy", he is a mechanical engineer with a cutesy name made up for a TV show.
Crikey, how many people think he's actually a scientist? You're not helping, Kamala.

But he’s not even a scientist… nevermind

Yes!!! Let’s have an actor with no science background dictate policy ‘cause he can swear and be cool

Yeah, we should definitely act if someone tries to hold a blowtorch up to the earth that can light the whole thing on fire.

But the guy is an engineer and stamd up comedian…. pic.twitter.com/3VnYbw3w85

I'm still not convinced, sorry.

I also have a bachelor's of science degree. I guess that makes me a "science guy".

This guy has as much credibility as Bill Nye @KamalaHarris #theyreusingyou #followthemoney pic.twitter.com/k3ajUxZyi8

Pure science! I’m completely convinced now! ??♂️

So much sciencing
— Ted NeKyriePleaseComeToNY (@Ted_Naps) May 15, 2019
Well sure let's take a child's character @BillNye created. He's not a science guy. He's an engineer. But I guess if that's who you go to for your climate science I can see why you know literally nothing.

Yes, but what does Mr Wizard think about it?
— Calvin Barnes (@VoiceofCal) May 15, 2019
President Obama was always happy to have Bill Nye over to the White House whenever they had something sciencey going on … will President Harris appoint him as an advisor due to his scientific expertise?
