Bill Nye in the news again - for all the wrong reasons
Bill Nye is no stranger to
stunningly bad science and
outright manipulation and
falsehood.
There he goes again -- bloviating about the horrific EF-5 tornado in Oklahoma.
From
Anthony - the transcript of a video available at
The Blaze:
During CNN�s live coverage of the deadly Oklahoma tornado on Monday night, host Piers Morgan and Bill Nye speculated on the possible role of climate change in the disaster.
�As a scientist, when you hear about the size, scale, power, devastation of this tornado, what does it tell you about the ongoing debate about climate change?� Morgan asked his guest.
Nye said climate change has to be considered after a catastrophic weather event like the devastating tornado in Oklahoma. He also claimed 10 of the last 12 years are the �warmest years recorded.�
�Thunderstorms are driven by heat and a tornado is a super thunderstorm � result of a super thunderstorm. So you�ve got to figure that if there�s more heat driving the storm then there�s going to be more tornadoes. Now this is the kind of thing that is worth investigating,� he added.
There is then a link to a page at the
National Weather Service which lists the known F-5 and EF-5 tornadoes since 1950.
From 1953 to 1982 (30 years), there were 38 tornadoes.
From 1983 to 2013 (30+ years), there were 20.
Typical progressive -- it is all about the narrative. The story line.
They do not do facts -- facts just get in the way of the narrative.
Ideas so good they have to be mandatory...
