Bill Nye Slams Donald Trump, Republicans On Climate Change (cnn.com)

An anonymous reader writes: On the eve of Earth Day, environmental activist Bill Nye told CNN that while everybody is more aware of climate change "than ever before," we still have a long way to go (annoying auto-play videos). The science educator and engineer, who became an icon on his 1990s hit show "Bill Nye the Science Guy," criticized the Republican presidential candidates and the fossil fuel industry for not acknowledging the deleterious effects of climate change. "There's still a very strong contingent of people who are in denial about climate change," Nye said. "And if you don't believe me, look at the three people currently running for president of the world's most influential country who are ... climate change deniers," Nye said, referring to the three Republican presidential candidates: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

For whom does he get paid to shill?

The lizard-men of course and their allies in the illuminati. But mostly the lizard-men.

Europe here. We would really LOVE Trump as your prez. He should be even more entertaining than that last monkey you put at the helm.

Seriously, what is it with the US and electing duds for the office of president? It's kinda amusing to be honest, it really seems you're trying to find the most useless person and put him in the most powerful seat as if that whole thing was some sort of entertainment show rather than politics of a country that pretty much commands hegemony of the planet.

I mean, don't get me wrong, we are absolutely FOR that. To be honest, a competent president that can actually act sensibly in foreign politics and stops you from being seen as the schoolyard bully of the world, coupled with the economy you have, that would probably put a serious dent in our chance on the world's market. Right now what allows us to pretty much take over economically internationally is that nobody wants to deal with you if they don't really, really have to. If that wasn't the case and anyone on that planet actually liked you, we'd be in a far, far worse situation.

Fortunately that's not going to be a problem. It would be a little tougher if Clinton made it, but even she's slippery enough to be unlikable. And Sanders is fortunately history. That guy really got us worried for a moment.

So, in closing, allow me to declare my absolute support for your new president Trump. And if you really love us, could you reelect him in 4 years? That would really be awesome!
