@antonproitzelhaimer @parents4future Problem is that he and the rest of the rich fuckers don't care. They're still in the "my money can insulate me from anything" mindset.

@parents4future 9/10 minor edit: “But you’re _supposed to be_ adults now.”
Behaviour suggests otherwise.

@parents4future @WTL That is still one of the best videos I've seen. It's short, informative, accurate, and to the point.

@waynedixon @parents4future True. Might hit better without the background laughter, as my wife pointed out.

@parents4future the issue is, the individuals go through school knowing they're behind the curve and looking to others for insights. Then they break out of high school or college and somehow disillusion themselves by forgetting that they had to look towards others for insights often being mistaken themselves. Now they have the full "right" as an adult to have their "opinion"... And even if you get the marking that shows distinction (Dr) they now just refuse to accept any differentiation...

@parents4future sadly he also starred in a green washing campaign for Coca-Cola a couple of years later:

I lost a loooot of respect for Bill Nye after that one

Bill Nye, the Sellout Guy

In a new video, TV's favorite scientist parrots hackneyed lines about "the good people at Coca-Cola" and their near-useless recycling efforts.

Sad thing that they had to put the laughter track in it.
Makes it all into a comedy skit instead of an actual warming or rant.

@parents4future Well put sir, 👍
Have another clip that left me quite horrified,
I know "The Newsroom" it's just a tv show (boy, i wish we'd have something like that for real) but the situation mentioned is actually our reality #climatechange

Still amazed how scientists are able to cope with all facts and the inaction.
