After an extended silence on the matter, Bill Nye the “Science Guy” is back to linking everyday weather events to man-made global warming on Twitter.
The last time Nye seemed to have fired off a global warming-related tweet was June 26 — about two months ago. This time, Nye is blaming the late summer heat wave hitting parts of the eastern seaboard to man-made global warming.
Nye used the heat wave to call for “reducing emissions and providing renewable electricity to all of Earth’s citizens.” Nye tweeted Wednesday: “Record heat again. Its’ climate change people.”
Record heat again. Its’ climate change people. Let’s get to work reducing emissions and providing renewable electricity to all of Earth’s citizens. If you want to know more about our situation, follow @MichaelEMann pic.twitter.com/fwVw0MhpA2

In his tweet, Nye also implored people to follow Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann if they want to know more on global warming. The tweet linked to Mann’s book, “The Madhouse Effect.”
Nye is no stranger to tweeting out pictures of news coverage on his TV, from hurricanes to heat, and then using said images to sound the alarm on global warming. Until now, he had seemingly taken a few weeks off.
The National Weather Service (NWS), for example, reported a record-high temperature was broken in Boston at 98 degrees. Providence tied its record-high 95 degrees reading from 1953, according to the NWS.
Forecasters expect the heat wave to persist throughout the week with temperatures in the 90s and high humidity.
While scientists expect heat waves to increase with more global warming, blaming individual heat waves on long-term warming can be a tricky business.
Even scientists who regularly try and attribute heat waves to global warming have admitted the difficulty of doing so.
The records being broken are daily and monthly records, not all-time record-high readings. And it should be remembered that while there’s a heat wave in the northeastern U.S., it’s winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
For example, while Boston sees daily records broken, in Australia daily and monthly record-low temperatures are also being broken. (SEE ALSO: Is Al Gore In Europe? Global Warming Brings Snow To Europe In Summer)
Cato Institute adjunct scholar Ryan Maue poked fun at Nye in a tweet on the status of heat hitting the northeast. Maue reminded followers “it just snowed” in Wyoming and Montana.

“And it should be remembered that while there’s a heat wave in the northeastern U.S., it’s winter in the Southern Hemisphere.”
Pure genius!!!! He’s now an expert in first grade geography.
If he was to cut back on Emissions might i suggest he keep his piehole closed it would go a long way to cut back on all that Hot Air
Al, Thanks for the support for RPI grads! I remember the Watervliet Arsenal. While in the Navy I was stationed up at the Kesselring Site’s nuclear power plants back in the 70’s. If you’d like to chat my email address is steven.m.bunten@gmail.com
I was a bit worried for the rake , no $1000 bets on the warmest year amazingly accurate
forecast . Comedian and clairvoyant too . Things must be slow . Turns out the worst fires are manmade . just like the climate hoax .
Bill Nye the Fake Science Guy he looks like total Dip-Wad
Bill Nye has no more of a scientific background than I do. We both have BS in Engineering, him for Cornell and me from RPI. We would both have had similar Physics and Chemistry classes and similar math. But he went into comedy (after a short stint at Boeing accomplishing little) and then getting the TV gig showing kids basic science stuff. That somehow now qualifies him to spout about crap he knows nothing of.
I worked with RPI-trained engineers at Benet Labs and Watervliet Arsenal. Also, with Cornell-trained engineers at a major defense contractor. I’ll take RPI, thanks.
Bill Nye is a failed engineer desperately trying to achieve something, even relevance by proxy in Mann’s shadow. Pathetic.

With due to respect to Steve, I disagree about the statement on scientific background. I have a BS in electrical engineering which provides the same background in general science as mechanical engineering. I also have degrees in science outside of engineering. Engineering is not climate science, but it teaches a lot about physics, the scientific method, math, and a general understanding of the technical world. This should be enough to look at the data, such as the data not matching IPCC models, and conclude that climate change isn’t a problem. The problem with Bill Nye is the same as it is with many climate scientists. They have allowed their politics to over ride science.
David, I agree with what you say. We do get enough science classes to give use an awareness and appreciation of the scientific method and use it in engineering. But an engineer would never try to portray himself as an expert in science, especially a field as complicated as climate science. Nye uses his notoriety as the “Climate Guy” to push the Climate Change nonsense which is not supported by observation.
Steve, you right. As far as those who claim to understand the subject, what about actors, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, or clergy, such as the Pope.
Actors don’t know crap. And the pope? He’s supposed to be a spiritual leader of the Catholic Church and his technical knowledge of the complexities of climate is woefully lacking (as is the case of the vast majority of people who also believers of global warming–and they just buy the crap being put out by the so-called climate scientists like Michael Mann and even Bill Nye).
Nye is silly with climate religion. Walk on by.
