New York Mets pitcher and “Texas Republican” Noah Syndergaard weighed in on global warming and this year’s hurricane season:

U.S. pulls out of Paris Climate Accord. Then hit by 4 Hurricanes in 6 weeks. Global Warming Karma? ?#imatexanrepublican #wakeup

Actually, there’s no link but everyone already knows that:

Stick to pitching, eh?

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.
