CNN Insults Bill Nye

It is possible that climate change could lead to increased wildfire rates though. Changing climates results in shifting biomes, which could lead to forests becoming deserts- a process that would almost certainly involve wildfires destroying existing forests.

But to date most scientists are hesitant to make a statement about if that is really happening or not. It is generally believed that climate change takes hundreds if not thousands of years to happen, we haven't been collecting data long enough to be certain any more than that there is indeed a natural progression of climate shifts that may or may not have been altered by our activities.

To be fair, she was referring to other people attacking him... at least at first. Still a rude woman, though. :|

Nothing more than a sideways insult.
Tons of "journalist" use that technique

[Juno]

Intentional or not, a moment of thought would reveal that to be rude.

Given her gestures and intonation of her voice, she was actually taunting and making fun of him on national tv.

Whether he's right or wrong isn't the point of this video though. Its that she was acting completely out of line and treated him extremely unprofessionally.

She was probably trying to get him riled up to make him lash out in return.. to make it more interesting for stupid viewers. Good thing he responded calmly and whatnot.

He's smart enough to know not to take the bait.

Watching it again, yeah, it really does give off that feeling. I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt because mistakes do happen and sometimes people don't realize what they're saying until after they've said it. In this case, I'll agree with you.
