1/ Has anyone studied the subset of people who think, "@BillNye is not a scientist!" is a valid rebuttal of the claims he makes about global warming?
They're an ironically ignorant bunch.
5/ But, it seems like more than just practical unfamiliarity. Know who looks at science and chooses not to celebrate the creativity involved in (and joy of!) discovery? ...people who want science to empirically document and render the status quo as sacrosanct.
