[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1276873, member: 1246"] Bill Nye, the “Science Guy” (whose degree is actually in mechanical engineering), seems to have had a problem during his ‘debate’ on “climate change” on ‘Meet The Press’ with host David Gregory. The designated “let’s beat up and call anti-science” opponent/target was Rep. Marsha Blackburn. Nye held up a graphic as he said, ‘Would you say that the Antarctic has less ice than it used to?’ One small problem. The graphic was of the Arctic, not the Antarctic, which the “Science Guy” apparently couldn’t recognize. His claim that the Antarctic has less ice than it used to is also open to attack, since the minimum ice levels are actually above normal levels, [URL='http://www.climatedepot.com/2014/02/07/antarctic-sea-ice-extent-is-really-on-track-to-have-the-highest-minimum-in-the-modern-satellite-era-sea-ice-extent-is-27-4-above-normal-as-of-feb-7-2014/']as Climate Depot points out.[/URL] Not of course to mention the fact that there hasn’t been warming in 17 years.
