Overview:
Former Governor of Alaska and 2008
Republican Vice-President, Sarah Palin, stated that Bill Nye is not a real
scientist. After the showing of the new anti-climate change film, Climate
Hustle, Palin's criticism towards Nye began.
The event for the film was in Washington,
D.C. where it was announced that the documentary film would be I theaters for
one day only. The documentary features a clip of producer Marc Morano
interviewing Bill Nye about his opinion on climate change. The film focuses a
lot on how there is a lot more to consider about climate change than mankind
alone. 97% of the world believes that humans are the cause to global warming.
The documentary is part of the 3% who do not.
In the interview, Nye speaks about the
negative effects of global warming and how mankind plays a major part in global
warming and climate change. Palin chastises Nye at the event in Washington that
she "is just as much as a scientist as he is." She rants on about Nye
being nothing more than a television entertainer for kids. She believes his
opinion is irrelevant and denies that mankind has any part to play climate
change.
Bill Nye, however, worked as an engineer in
Boeing. He received a Bachelor Degree at Cornell University from studying
mechanical engineering. Nye now is a visiting professor at Cornell. He also
helped with the construction of NASA's Exploration Rover project by deigning
sundials for the exploration.
Opinion:
In my opinion, I think Sarah Palin has no
idea what she is talking about. She clearly just says the first thing on her
mind without thinking before she says and has nothing to back up her redundant
statements. How can she say that Bill Nye is as much as a scientist as she is.
Bill Nye is a distinguished scientist who loves his work while Palin is a
community college graduate. I can't comprehend how a former Governor can make
such a false statement.
This year, it seems that she lends her
support to ideas that just don’t add up. She has announced to the public that
she supports Donald Trump's Presidency Campaign even though she has not said
why she supports him or why she thinks he'll make a good president. The reason
she called out Bill Nye for being a non-scientist is because he has a different
view of climate change than her. There are even facts about how fossil fuels
are the cause of climate change so I don’t know why she denies it isn't.
Sarah Palin does not have enough common
sense to realize what is right and what is wrong. She is so focused on saying
what will whatever make her look reputation better. The problem is that she
says the wrong things. Bill Nye is an entertainer for children and a
well-respected scientist. Taking jabs at an icon is not the greatest plan for
someone who is generally not liked by society. Bill Nye shared his concern
about climate change and was compensated by a former politician publically
trying to degrade his profession.
