Bill Nye Gets Slammed Over GW Tweet (2015)

Bill Nye the not so science guy made a big mistake on June 15, 2015 when he stated that the floods in Texas, the warmth and fires in Alaska were due to climate change.

Bill floods Texas. Alaska is on fire. Just a little global warming & climate change. Nothing to worry about… pic.twitter.com/l2qAaiytE6

Even global warming believer meteorologist David Tolleris of WeatherRisk.com told Nye that he was wrong.

@abollmer @BillNye neither the warmth in Alaska or Tropical storm BIll have ANYTHING to do with GW.

Our fellow skeptic friend, meteorologist Joe Bastardi also weighed in.

And yet, another well known meteorologist and fellow skeptic, James Spann from ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama let Nye have it…

@joshwallswx @wxhistorian @BillNye @weatherbrains he couldn't handle people that actually understand how the atmosphere works
