Tucker Carlson Attacks Bill Nye As A "Bully" During Interview On Climate Change

Last edited Tue Feb 28, 2017, 01:22 AM - Edit history (1)

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): You're using the language of politics, look you're not a scientist as you know. You're a popularizer and that's fine.

BILL NYE: I'm using the language of economics.  

CARLSON: I'm just saying to the extent that you prevent people from having an honest conversation you’re doing a grave disservice to science, don’t you think that?

NYE: You asked how long it would be before -- what the climate would be if humans weren’t involved right now, is that right?

CARLSON: Yeah, yes, that’s exactly right. At what point would it have changed and I’m just saying you don’t actually know because it’s unknowable so why aren’t you open to questions?

NYE: So this is how long it takes you to interrupt me, okay? So it takes you quite a bit less than six seconds. So the climate would be like it was in 1750, and the economics would be that you could not grow wine worthy grapes in Britain, as you can today, because the climate is changing. The use of pesticides in the Midwest would not be increasing because the parasites, or the pests are showing up sooner and hanging around longer--

A completely false statement. Aside from a gap between WWI and II, there have been English vineyards since the time of the Romans.
