TYT: Bill Nye + A Big Oil Shill = A Bad Climate Change Debate

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"A recent study from Media Matters found that the Sunday shows on NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox spent a combined 27 minutes on the topic in the whole of 2013. Meet the Press was singled out as "failing to offer a single substantial mention of climate change" for the entire year.

So, when "MTP" does finally decide that the issue merits its consideration, what does it do? It sets up a "debate" about the issue between Bill Nye—who, despite the great things he has done to popularize science, is not a climate scientist—and Blackburn, who has previously tweeted about how proud she is to deny that global warming exists...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. I believe Blackburn's educational background is a B.S. in Home Ec. from Mississippi State.

A little less impressive than an engineering degree from Cornell (Nye). In checking her out, however, I found that her husband founded(?) something called the International Bow Tie Society. How ironic is that? You'd think she'd have a little more respect for Bill Nye.
