Why are we suddenly 'debating' facts. There is nothing to debate about evolution or climate change or the 'theory' of gravity or if the earth is round... Where we need debate and discussion is around what to DO about climate change. I love Bill Nye and he's helping jump start these conversations but I guess I'm frustrated with journalists creating 'fairness' and 'sides' and differing 'viewpoints' when there are none.
I'm guessing you didn't watch it. Bill did a lousy job and pretty much wasted a chance to make a big impact. Also there was no apparent attempt at fairness. Every time she spoke the moderator pretty much implied she was an idiot. While he was indeed correct in my opinion, it wasn't exactly fair.

ReplyDeleteNope I did miss it (traveling three days from North Carolina due to the ice / snow storms)... sad to hear it didn't go well.
ReplyDeleteBut like they say in advertising... any news can be good news.
Yep... And like they said on. "Hill St. Blues" - "Let's be carefull out there"
ReplyDeleteIts not a "debate" when only one side has any facts and the other side is insane.
ReplyDeleteThat is like saying lets have a debate between Bill Nye and Charlie Manson.
Damnit bill, don't you know they're not smart enough to realize their business butt buddies fucked the environment
