Meteorologist calls out MSNBC for using Bill Nye to boost climate change hysteria over weather events: 'A complete fraud'



Meteorologist and climate expert Dr. Ryan Maue blasted MSNBC on Monday for rolling out entertainer Bill Nye to blame recent weather events on climate change.

What happened on MSNBC?

The left-leaning network chose Nye, whom MSNBC labeled a "science educator," to opine about the significance of Tropical Storm Hillary, Maui wildfires, and record-setting heat over the central U.S.

"It's very difficult to tie any specific weather event to climate change, but if you like to worry about things, this is a great time," Nye alarmed.

"We have this huge heat dome with extraordinary humidity in the southern U.S., we have these very high winds in Hawaii, and then we have this enormous rainstorm that came through here, I live in Los Angeles," Nye continued. "This may be the beginning of things. And people like to throw around the expression 'new normal.' Well, it's not going to be normal. It's just going to get worse and worse, probably."

What did Maue say?

The expert meteorologist pointed out the inherent problem with hosting someone trained in mechanical engineering to provide perspective about weather and the climate.

"You know it's serious extreme weather when MSNBC rolls out Bill Nye to drop some science knowledge on their viewers. He doesn't disappoint with a truly bizarre explanation for Hurricane Hilary," Maue said. "Bill Nye is a complete fraud."

He added, "In more than 10 years of providing extreme weather and climate change commentary on television, Bill Nye has only managed to become dumber on every topic. His statements are nonsensical, head-scratching, absurd, and profoundly wrong."

Maue linked to an article that Washington Post meteorologist Jason Samenow wrote 10 years ago in which he condemned MSNBC for hosting Nye to discuss the weather.

"Why MSNBC turned to Nye for weather wisdom is headscratching, considering it has access to a stable of competent meteorologists at the Weather Channel," Samenow wrote at the time. "Nye has created some wonderful science educational programs for children, but a weather expert he is not."

It's clear the network has not learned from its past mistakes.

CNN’s Jim Acosta, Bill Nye blame conservatives for planet's climate — then lament our 'deeply divided nation'



Self-named "Science Guy" Bill Nye joined CNN's Jim Acosta in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian to lambaste "conservative lawmakers," "conservative voters," and a certain "infamous, notorious host" of a "conservative network" for somehow causing the planet's climate to change, which in turn is what they say caused the nearly worst-ever hurricane to devastate areas of southwest Florida. Ironically, the two went on to lament that Americans "just need to come together as a country" and set aside partisan politics to help the "hundreds of thousands of people suffering tremendously."

"People ask me, 'what can we do about climate change?' There’s all sorts of things we can do," Nye told Acosta. "We can address this ... but if we don’t acknowledge there’s a problem, we’re not going to get it done. And so I just want to ask conservative lawmakers to cut it out. I understand that you want to get reelected. I understand that you have this primary system which motivates you to get these hardcore conservative voters engaged. But, look, you’ve just- just cut it out."

He went on to accuse "a conservative network" (presumably Fox News) and its "infamous, notorious host" (presumably Tucker Carlson) of using misleading data to downplay the effects of climate change.

"I just ask everybody on the other side to cut it out. We’ve got hundreds of thousands of people suffering tremendously," Nye lamented. "Now, come on, let’s get to work. This is the United States! Come on. Let’s be world leaders, for crying out loud. Back to you, Jim."

"Yeah, no," Acosta replied. "We just need to come together as a country. And it’s in moments like this when a very deeply divided nation can come together, particularly when it comes to helping an area like southwest Florida get back on its feet, which is what they’re desperately trying to do right now ... obviously, climate change is making these hurricanes more ferocious, more deadly, more costly," he added.

Bill Nye slapped with history lesson after claiming Juneteenth marks day 'last slaves' were freed, America built on slave labor



Bill Nye, the infamous "science guy," received a prompt history lesson on Sunday after claiming that slavery in America officially ended on Juneteenth.

What did Nye say?

In an effort to commemorate the newest national holiday, Nye claimed on Twitter that America was "built" on slave labor and that "the last" slaves were freed on June 19, 1865.

"The United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans," Nye wrote. "The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate— and never forget."

Nye, famous for an educational science TV show, posted a picture of himself holding a pocket Constitution along with his commemorative message.

\u201cThe United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans. The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate\u2014 and never forget.\u201d

But what is the problem?

While historians and Americans may debate whether the Untied States was built on the back of slave labor, the last enslaved Americans were not freed on Juneteenth.

In fact, the last American slaves were not officially freed until December 1865, when the 13th Amendment was ratified and officially proclaimed, thus ending slavery "except as a punishment for crime." An estimated 40,000–45,000 remaining slaves in two states — Kentucky and Delaware — were freed at that time.

Juneteenth, on the other hand, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas, which happened on June 19, 1865 — almost six months before slavery was constitutionally outlawed.

In response to his tweet, Nye was inundated with these facts:

  • "Bill Nye might be a science communicator, but hes a s*** historianThe slaves freed at Galveston in June 1865 were freed under the Emancipation ProclamationIt wasnt until the 13th amendment was ratified in December of 1865 that the last slaves were freed in KY and DE," one person said.
  • "This is not true. Juneteenth doesn’t commemorate the 13th Amendment. It commemorates news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaching Texas. Two union states had slavery until December 1865," another person said.
  • "He’s as much of a historian as he is a scientist. And makes up just as much nonsense for both subjects. It’s almost amazing how wrong he constantly is," one person mocked.
  • "Please open that and let us what date the 13th amendment was ratified into the constitution that ended slavery once and for all. Hint: it's not June 19th.....," another person said.
  • "Tell me you can't do a simple Google search without telling me you can't do a simple Google search," another person mocked.
  • "Dec 6, 1865. That’s when the 13th Amendment went into effect and slavery in Delaware and Kentucky also ended. Read that thing you’re holding up," another person said.

Interestingly, Mississippi became the last state to ratify the 13th Amendment, doing so in 1995. However, the ratification was not officially certified until 2013 — nearly 150 years after slavery ended.
