Bill Nye the “not a scientist guy” joined President Obama on Air Force One today and jetted to the Florida Everglades to warn about the effects of climate change. One of the causes of man-made climate change, Nye and Obama claim, is the burning of fossil fuels, which is why they decided the only proper way to warn about the problem would be through transparent displays of irony and hypocrisy:
Pres Obama's Earth Day trip will cover 1,836 miles roundtrip and consume 9,180 gallons of fuel on Air Force One.

Maybe they’re trying to burn all the fuel so there’s none left for the rest of us.

The average American uses 600 gallons of fuel in 1 "year". Obama is using 9180 gallons on #EarthDay!@markknoller https://t.co/tsxtJwH0cE

@markknoller That's roughly about $100K in fuel and 192K lbs of CO2 just to fly down there to discuss climate change
