As Twitchy reported, Bill Nye on Monday left his kids’ TV host persona behind and posted a short video of himself setting a globe alight, telling us that “the planet’s on f**king fire!” and we’d better support the Green New Deal. He’s not kidding around anymore and posting photos of The Weather Channel on his TV … this was science.

Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, who immediately signed onto the Green New Deal and then didn’t vote for it when it was brought to the Senate floor for a vote (no one voted for it), thought Nye had produced some great content and decided to retweet it.

Still don’t think we should act on climate change? Ask @BillNye the science guy…pic.twitter.com/KYIvRpvxdC — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) May 14, 2019

Perhaps research is essential on using sources …. he’s a failed mechanical engineer … not a scientist of any sort … basically an actor, pretending and regurgitating talking points …. — Tom Martino (@tom_martino1) May 15, 2019

#BillNyeTheScienceGuy is a TV character, @BillNye is just a guy. Should we also be taking medical advice from Clooney because he played a Dr on ER? — Adriana Stubbs (@adriana_s1970) May 15, 2019

Who isn’t actually a legit scientist?? pic.twitter.com/Z3iNW3cKeR — Easter-celebrating Christian (@ambiverted_mama) May 15, 2019

The “scientist” is maybe whomever wrote his cue cards. But I doubt that, too. — Easter-celebrating Christian (@ambiverted_mama) May 15, 2019

This is stupid. — Antonio Martinez (@djtechchicago) May 15, 2019

Bill Nye is not "the science guy", he is a mechanical engineer with a cutesy name made up for a TV show. Crikey, how many people think he's actually a scientist? You're not helping, Kamala. — Add your name (@corrcomm) May 15, 2019

But he’s not even a scientist… nevermind — JaVonni Brustow ? (@JaVonniBrustow) May 14, 2019

Yes!!! Let’s have an actor with no science background dictate policy ‘cause he can swear and be cool — Sheila Maupin (@Maupsh) May 15, 2019

Yeah, we should definitely act if someone tries to hold a blowtorch up to the earth that can light the whole thing on fire. — ThePeckhamPost (@ThePeckhamPost) May 15, 2019

But the guy is an engineer and stamd up comedian…. pic.twitter.com/3VnYbw3w85 — Orlandobizbroker (@mshea403) May 15, 2019

I'm still not convinced, sorry. — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) May 16, 2019

I also have a bachelor's of science degree. I guess that makes me a "science guy". — WE0209 (@Pro_Nuke) May 15, 2019

Pure science! I’m completely convinced now! ??‍♂️ — Chris Sundback (@sirotogenius) May 15, 2019

So much sciencing — Ted NeKyriePleaseComeToNY (@Ted_Naps) May 15, 2019

Well sure let's take a child's character @BillNye created. He's not a science guy. He's an engineer. But I guess if that's who you go to for your climate science I can see why you know literally nothing. — Chris Manning (@Manning4USCong) May 15, 2019

Yes, but what does Mr Wizard think about it? — Calvin Barnes (@VoiceofCal) May 15, 2019

President Obama was always happy to have Bill Nye over to the White House whenever they had something sciencey going on … will President Harris appoint him as an advisor due to his scientific expertise?
