MLD Woody Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/15/politics/sarah-palin-bill-nye-scientist/index.html (CNN)Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin mocked Bill Nye on Thursday, using the premier of a film that criticizes climate change scientists to call into question Nye's credentials. "Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am," the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said, according to The Hill. "He's a kids' show actor, he's not a scientist."

gftChris Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Speaking of VPs, I've been wondering recently about the selection of that and other positions in the administration. People talk about maybe someone like Ben Carson getting a position, but as far as I'm aware, he hasn't actually been elected for anything right now. So question, aside from the president, is there any requirement for administration members to be serving governors/senators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 The fact she made that statement proves everything that's ever been said about her. I would give a smart dog good odds at beating her in some modified IQ tests. U know stuff like here is an object and now it's going behind this wall does it continue to exist .... I think the dog tracks it and she doesn't. Like the dog will understand the continuity of space and time to a greater extent than she does. I'm really not joking I honestly beleive that. I don't think there's anyone home with her. She's some organic auto pilot. The soul left her long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a bunch of highly respected scientists attacking Nye 2) No one is saying Nye is the golden standard in the scientific community. But he sure as hell ranks higher than Sarah Palin... one extreme weather event can't be used as evidence for climate change, but one of the predicted symptoms of climate change is increased extreme weather events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not a scientist though. I cannot believe people choose to be that ignorant. It's another fun paradox. If a scientist is reputable and famous enough to take seriously, they're just a celebrity (see Nye, Tyson etc). If they're not famous enough, then why do we care what they think?

The Cysko Kid Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 As an electrical engineer I wouldn't feel qualified to sign off on any climate change petition. There was no climatology involved in my education. Granted I did most of my coursework in the service of the air force instead of michigan so one might have more of a liberal bent than the other.
