Bill Nye’s Wikipedia page states he’s a comedian and activist before mentioning his one ‘scientific’ credential- a B.S. in mechanical engineering. Very telling.
Via APTN:
American science educator Bill Nye “the Science Guy” is in northern Alberta filming a climate change documentary.
Nye visited the tar sands and after taking an aerial tour of the mining areas told APTN National News it was a “depressive” sight to see.
“Producing all this oil that’s producing all this carbon dioxide, that’s not good from a global stand point,” said Nye.
“And from an environmental point of view locally, it’s astonishing and overwhelming.”
He went on to say that it’s difficult to describe witnessing the scale of industrial activity that is taking place and that he was “amazed” at the size of production happening in the tar sands, and the damage it is causing.
