Bill Nye debated with Nick Loris of the Heritage foundation, S. E. Cupp and Van Jones on climate change. CNN made Bill Nye the Science Guy to slam his desk in frustration during Tuesday's episode of 'Crossfire'.
Crossfire host S. E. Cupp said the science community has deceived people on climate change and accused Bill Nye of bullying people who ask questions about the veracity of claims on global warming. Cupp brought out a Gallup poll that showed only 36% of Americans actually believe that their life is getting affected because of climate change.
"The scare tactics have not worked. And don't you need public consensus to move the needle on this? So how do you want to get public consensus on this?" said Cupp.
Nye answered by saying it is visible to everyone that shorelines are flooding and so many extreme weather events have already been experienced in various parts of the world as a direct result of climate change. Nye gave an exasperated look when Cupp asked that it is not a problem that science guys are making efforts to bully other people who dare to question the legitimacy of climate change claims.
Loris, on the other hand, told Nye that he does not deny that global warming is not happening, but it is really concerning for him to not have substantial evidence to prove that these extreme weather event trends are the result of climate change.
Loris did not talk about his conservative organization that is skeptical about global warming. His company reportedly received funds from billionaires David and Charles Koch.
