Bill Nye the Science Guy is once again trying to blame global warming for a series of weather events happening around the U.S., but this time meteorologists arent having it. Meteorologists criticized Nyes claim that warm temperatures in Alaska and flooding in Texas are a product of man-made global warming. As Tropical Storm Bill (no relation to Nye) was projected to make landfall in Texas, Nye tweeted:
Nye has been been relentless in trying to connect such extreme weather events to man-made global warming in recent months, to the point where actual meteorologists who study weather patterns are fed up with him.
Nyes extreme weather claims and hype over Tropical Storm Bill come on the heels of news reports that the U.S. has been in the midst of a 10-year hurricane drought. For nearly a decade, no Category 3 or higher hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S., and theres been no upward trend in other natural disasters like tornadoes, droughts or wildfires. Even a meteorology student at Pennsylvania State University and independent weather forecasters out of New Jersey criticized Nye for harming the scientific debate on global warming.
