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.

Maybe he doesn't have the support of the Republican elite, but the average people of America absolutely love him.

Donald Trump, as of a March 29th poll, has a 62 percent UN-favorability rating. That means, by definition, that the "average people of America" do not absolutely love him. In fact, the average people of American see him about the way they see the stuff that collects under their refrigerator.

The best favorability poll for Donald Trump ever taken, by the most pro-Trump polling company, only has him at about 32% favorability.
