He’s not a scientist, but Bill Nye plays one on TV.
Still, people look to him as an expert on things like climate change. More accurately they look to him as a known media figure who will affirm their beliefs with the illusion of authority that sometimes accompanies fame.
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi isn’t buying it though.

His statements are amazingly inane— Joe Bastardi (@BigJoeBastardi) February 22, 2015
Biill Nye is an engineer turned actor. That is all. His knowledge of weather/climate amazingly inaccurate, and relies on ignorance of
fact— Joe Bastardi (@BigJoeBastardi) February 22, 2015
@BigJoeBastardi exactly. Would you listen to Bill Nye the Medicine Guy?

@BigJoeBastardi @GayPatriot Bill Nye's book is titled Undeniable. Anyone who uses that word about science is a clown. Explains the bow tie.

@AnthonyBialy @GayPatriot @BigJoeBastardi No science should ever be considered "settled". Never stop asking questions. @BillNye

@GayPatriot @AnthonyBialy @BigJoeBastardi. Unfalsifiable would have been a better title. And more telling.
