Bill Nye accepts the conclusions of the consensus within the particular field. That's called being rational. He defends that conclusion because it is scientifically supported, even if he is not a climate scientist himself. The people who think climate change is a hoax are largely either ignorant (you know, the people who think a cold morning in their backyard disproves global warming) or not climate scientists and replace the scientific method with their own preconceived biases.

The IPCC created and implemented "post-normal science" (consensus) because they knew "normal science" (the scientific method) would never validate their hypothesis.
Half true. Nye has a Bachelors in ME from Cornell. There is quite a bit of science required.
BUT
a "Scientist" usually means a graduate degree in science disciplines.
A degree in Mechanical Engineering is no more than the Psychics degree the other guy has. And the ME is easier to get,
If Global warming was a hoax who would be funding it. Certainly not the fossil fuel companies which are some of, if not the wealthiest group of companies in the rural role aside from large banks maybe. Who would want to fund the "global warming is real" hoax? Certainly it into was fake, the big companies would be using their likely superior dollars to completely dismantle global warming. Yet we see many of them jumping aboard the global warming cause and increasing costs to design machines that have less of an effect on the climate?
Someone explain who is funding Global Warming and Why, and how are they winning out against the Oil, Natural Gas and other Energy giants which are such dominant forces in the world economy?

IF global warming is a Vast Evil Conspiracy (I don't believe it is), I'd say it was the nuclear power industry that was behind it. Nuclear fission is the only economical alternative to fossil fuels at the present time.

There ya go. Billy accepts the conclusions of those you agree with. So you like what he has to say.

How does religion get funded? It gets funded by believers. It also gets funded by people that believe charlatans that sell them a bill of sale. That's the POINT of the video I posted. There are people that will buy into it and believe it--supporting it with their pocketbooks because they want to believe in something.
