Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial Is 'Running Out of Steam,' Thanks To Millennials (mic.com)

An anonymous reader shares with us an article on Mic: Famed science educator Bill Nye has long been an outspoken critic of people who continue to doubt climate change, the main driver of freaky weather patterns, rising global temperatures and sea level rise around the globe. In an interview with Mic, Nye said that despite lingering skepticisms, there is nearly 100% scientific consensus that climate change is happening and is here to stay -- and people are becoming increasingly anxious about its effects on the planet, particularly younger generations. "Almost every person in denial about climate change is older," Nye said. "It's very hard to find a millennial-aged person that is not concerned about climate change. I think the climate denial movement is running out of steam, I guess that's a pun."

Now we just have to wait 30 more years for millennials to get into positions where they can do something about it.

Your argument that any climate change caused by man is "bad and threatens our existence on this planet" is such that you need to go find another argument. Because if what's happening now is bad, and we change it to not-bad, then that's climate change caused by man. Which, according to your maddened outburst, would then be bad. Which puts you in the positioning of arguing for not doing anything that would change the climate from bad to good.

Try not to wave your hands so hard. You're going to hurt your wrists. :)
