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."

    "deniers" never were deniers in the first place, they are dedicated and honest scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who can see plainly the severe failings of the GCM (models) and are loathe to let such anti-intellectualism proliferate without warning the public.

    That's the whole idea behind gun control: to make sure 1984 isn't going to be like 1789.
