On MSNBC, Bill Nye Hits ‘Unglued’ Viewers Who Object to Blaming Blizzard on Climate Change
A severe winter storm about to strike the northeast is caused by global warming? That’s the unsurprising suggestion by climate change enthusiast Bill Nye on MSNBC, Monday. The TV personality appeared on The Cycle to discuss the New England Patriots and Deflategate. Changing the subject, he condescendingly asserted, “I just want to introduce the idea that this storm is connected to climate change. I want to introduce that idea. I know there will be certain viewers who will become unglued.”

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, Guest Use Blizzard to Complain about GOP, ‘Big Oil Industry’ ‘Fighting’ Climate Change
During her MSNBC show Now on Monday, Alex Wagner featured Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, who took advantage of the blizzard set to strike New York City and New England to invoke climate change and blame the “big oil industry” and Republicans for “voting down science” in a Senate vote last week. Not to be outdone, Wagner took her own swipe at those who don’t subscribe to the view that the storm was bred by humans and climate change: “[J]ust with the flight delays, the economic impact of travel and travel cancellations, it seems like framing this sort-of changing climate in an economic context is a pretty powerful way to get people to start caring a little bit more about the changes that are happening to the Earth.”

Todd worried, “Are you advocating essentially nullification here by the states if the Supreme Court legalizes same-sex marriage?” Todd followed up by mentioning another social issue: “If the Supreme Court on a Friday rules that — basically overturns Roe v. Wade, makes abortion illegal in this country, would you say — would you support that or do you think it has to go through the same process you just described?” This liberal talking point is wrong.
