As far as global warming discussions are concerned, it is a clash between what the humans think and what the humans perceive. For CNN's Crossfire host though, it is simply about science guys being bully.
Host S.E. Cupp on Tuesday lambasted "Science Guy" Bill Nye over his insistent claims that global warming is a "serious business" and researches about global warming is absolute, intentionally putting a pressure on the skeptics.
Bill Nye the Science Guy shot to fame as the lively and humorous science educator donned in a light blue lab coat and a bow tie of the popular Disney/PBS science show with the same name, which ran from 1993 to 1998. The 100-episode program's slapstick facet eventually opened doors to a wider audience group; from the preteens it also attracted adult viewers.
In the "Crossfire" show of CNN, discussions about third National Climate Assessment (NCA) report on climate change in the United States turned into an off-topic talk of scientists being bullies when Bill Nye came into a heated showdown Tuesday with Heritage Foundation economist Nicholas Loris and TheBlaze contributor S.E. Cupp.
"So let's start with, we don't agree on the facts," began Nye, addressing Cupp. "This third [NCA] report came out, saying it's very serious, you say no. There's the essence of the problem, S.E. The science, the researchers say yes."
Loris, who failed to say publicly that his conservative organization backed by the Koch brothers is skeptical of global warming, argued that not every scientists reach similar conclusions. While climate is changing and human are somehow to blame for it, Loris added no "extreme event trends" have happened yet.
"I'm not a denier, I'm not a skeptic," said Loris to Nye. The Science Guy, who apparently has no background in dealing with climate change, disagreed.
"But Bill," Cupp began. "Isn't it a problem when science guys attempt to bully other people? I mean, Nick here had to say 'I'm not a denier' He had to get it out: 'I'm not a denier.' Because really, the science group has tried to shame anyone who dares question this and the point I'm trying to make is, it's not working with the public."
To support her claim, Cupp cited a survey that showed only 36 percent of Americans think that the global warming is not as threatening as is seems.
In the NCA report, scientists revealed that human activities have largely contributed to climate change and states such as Iowa, Washington, Vermont, Florida, New York and Louisiana are "all observing climate-related changes that are outside of recent experience."
