Safety glasses on.

I did already. But here ya go again, since you can't be bothered to put in any effort at all.

Bill Nye - Wikipedia

1986–1991: Comedy beginnings and Almost Live!
Nye quit his job at Boeing on October 3, 1986 to focus on his burgeoning comedy career.

OK. I did not see the link. Thank you for making a production out of that to imply I am a lazy moron. It was ever so kind of you to do this often and with anyone questioning you or challenging you or your preconceived notions of the world. It is what caused my irony meter to take out half a city a block when it blew up. Well, that and your requesting that someone else be nice when speaking to you. Oh the irony.

Does this answer my other question about how being a comic would invalidate his view? No. It does not. He is also a science educator.

Does this answer my questions about your claimed qualifications and your claimed superiority through them. No. It does not.

If you had spent more time on substance and less on trying to falsely imply the stupidity and inferiority of others, maybe you could find the answers to the questions asked.

He could have just as easily used facts and figures instead of releasing more toxic fumes into the air.

That has been done numerous times. It also causes the release of toxic fumes into the air.

Here's a couple of sources
Hydroelectric power's dirty secret revealed
Hydro power can generate more carbon dioxide than it saves | Cosmos

If you look at those sources only one worry applies to the hydroelectric in the Pac-Northwest and since those dams are a done deal not even the worry about the release of methane from flooded vegetation appears. We do not have the deltas that are affected by dams as there are in Brazil and other similar areas.

Like the anthropocene extinction, eh?

I was thinking of the behavior observed. Novel behavior seems to emerge with increasing population and local overcrowding. Not all of them adverse and not all of them benign.

The current interest in tiny houses and small living spaces is a reaction to crowding. It may be a positive reaction, but still a reaction indicating that crowding is occurring even at the current level of population.

It is so odd that some think that a person with a sense of humor cannot be a science educator. And besides being Bill Nye the science guy, let's not forget that he is a superhero too. And those often are looked upon as authorities:

When @Enoch07 can give some evidence that he is a superhero then he might be able to challenge Bill Nye.

You will have to explain what you mean here. If I am familiar with the subject, I am failing to make a connection.

In my observations, comics are usually very intelligent and often decent observers of the world around them. They are providing a humorous take on those observations, in some cases providing insight in a way that is accessible and maintains retention.

I watched that video a couple of times, laughing each time, as well as getting the point. That is what it was about. To make a point in a humorous way that you can go back to. It was very well done in my opinion.

I think he does have some superpowers, just not very useful ones.

One of the best professors I had did a variation on this experiment:

Fulminate vs Cyanate Stability

It showed the difference that order could make in a chemical compound. The experiment demonstrates the difference between fulminate ( CNO-) and cyanate (NCO-). Looking back it was all a set up. Cyanate is stable and fulminate is quite the opposite. In the experiment the fulminate explodes and the cyanate does not. When our prof set up the experiment the cyanate went off in his face and the fulminate sat there. It was obvious to the class that he screwed up. He told us he would revisit this in the next class. Okay, next class. He puts the cyanate on the burner. Nothing. All is well. He puts the fulminate over the burner. Alas, again nothing. He mutters a mild curse and goes back to writing on the blackboard. A good laugh is had by the classroom. Very shortly after he begins to write there is a HUGE EXPLOSION, the wire mesh holding the fulminate which had been left over the burner that was still on was destroyed and the whole class jumped. That is except for the professor who mildly turned with the biggest **** eating grin on his face. Obviously he knew what was going to happen. And we never forgot the difference between those two compounds.

That's non-sequitar.

But what's new.

I am sorry but we take our coffee very seriously in the Seattle area. Nine months of no Sun will do that to you

And it appears to be your non sequitur. Odd that you did not notice that.

We talking about the environment and you wanna talk about superheros. But hey go for it, no skin off my back.

No, as usual you are making yourself the butt of jokes in a thread since you refuse to debate the issues.

Huh?

You're the one talking about superheros bra.

Stop projecting.

And you are the one that cannot follow a conversation. We know who is projecting here.

Try again.

There is no conversation. You want to talk about superheros and I don't care for it. End of story.

An irrational response to a rational question that does not answer the question. So that is to be your standard. Do you think you can set your bar lower? I bet you can.
