Bill Nye has taken stupid to an entirely new level, and CNN is pulling up the rear on his stupid train.
The entire Gulf Coast was built from sediments deposited by floods on the Mississippi River and other rivers. Louisiana wouldn’t exist without regular flooding. That is why they call it a flood plain.
The only reason a moron like this can be on television, is because everyone else at CNN is just a stupid as he is.
No, stupider.
It’s a race to braindeadness. New word, take heed.
That guy is such a doofus.
A little OT but Tony you’ve been hitting on all cylinders lately! Just beating them senseless with FACTS. Keep up the great fight. Cheers
+100
Yes Right on Tony.\ re CNN and the moron Bill.
The Dems are going full out to push the scare scenario.
It is about all they have left to scare voters into voting for Hitlery. Problem is the scare is too old and most people are tired of it.
I think he has been wearing his bowtie too tight…
…. and cut of the circulation to his brain.
Nye needs to tighten it a lot more…
:) Wicked sense of humor there, Gail! On second thought, I am not sure you were joking.
Hey, hold on! Bill Nye is, after all, the “Science” guy! I mean, he supports evolution (“Unbdeniable”), climate change… How wrong can he be?
Oh, wait a minute…
Thanks, Tony, for calling out the frauds.
Well, evolution is a fact, climate change is a fact. What you meant is he supports catastrophic anthropogenic climate change attribution.
CACC could the thing be called.
or CACA
That earthquakes account for all of the observable warming in the last 100 years is a fact. That evolution is just a theory that was put forth some thousands of years ago is a fact.
There is one thing I like about this dumbass. He’s working for the other side.
DANG, Now I have to clean off my computer screen.
No morals. I’m gonna have to throw away my Bill Nye the Science Guy card deck. Or maybe just burn them. Or better yet, use them at the range.
Use them as toilet paper and send them back to him.
He would say man-made global warming caused it. We need to ban Bill Nye playing cards.
Don Lemon just called and said he is outraged that you would threaten or incite violence against Bill Nye.
A deck with 52 jokers?
He is right about one thing, it will happen again,whoopie do!
It happened many times in the past,but brainless morons like him never consider the climatology of the region.The past history of weather.
Tony showed that Geological forces plays a big part too, in the development of the coastline.
I hear the same bull every time Norfolk is hit by a nor’easter or a hurricane. Sea Level rise due to “climate change”.
Just so y’all know, not all of the flood victims down here are whiners sitting on their butts waiting for someone to come in and help them.
The picture below shows my younger sister’s house as of Sunday. The lower 4′ of drywall has been removed, all the flooring has been torn up, and an AC window unit and a dehumidifiers is set up to dry everything out. The house has been treated to prevent mold. It smells like a house under construction.
My sister and brother-in-law have been working 12 hour days getting things cleaned up. They also sensible raised as much of their stuff as they could 18 inches before they were left their house. Unfortunately, they got 21 inches of water.
They have a contractor coming in later this week to start the reconstruction work and will move back in as soon as possible.
My older sister, on the other hand has done only a minimum amount of work throwing away things that got flooded and her oak flooring. They also lost their cars because they refused to believe the water would rise that high. The inside of her house still looks and smells awful.
I’ll post updates in semi-appropriate topics as the construction proceeds.
Forgot to mention that they had water in their house Tuesday a week ago.
Best to them Dave. Picking up the pieces and driving on relentlessly to get their life back to normal shows great character and also is an indication of the strength of their bond. Probably gives them a chance to go ahead and get a little remodeling done while their at it. Motivated people usually have thought of how somethings could be improved. Did they have one of the clean up services like Service Pro come in to do some of the work or have they done it all themselves?
They had a contractor come in to remove the drywall. I’m not sure who did the mold remediation but they did have a pro come in.
In addition to their regular jobs they flip houses so they knew the right people to get a contractor immediately.
They were able to get the contractor in because they got the house ready so quickly. With around 55,000 houses affected those contractors are getting harder to find as time went on.
After Katrina, our church group drove from Houston to Slidell to help with the cleanup efforts for two weekends. We slept in sleeping bags in tight rows on the floor of a local church.
We went house to house through neighborhoods and cut out drywall just like that, 5 to 6 feet high. We cut down and trimmed fallen trees to get them off roofs, then patched them with tarps so that the homeowners could get their power turned on.
It was dirty, messy, stinky work but the people were there working side by side with us and were very grateful for the help we provided.
Thanks for the work that you did then. I know how hot it was after the storm and how hard that work was. And I know how bad the smell was.
So many people came down from everywhere and give their own time and effort to help out.
You actually had to have been there to appreciate the damage that was done by that storm.
Climate loonies like Al Gore and Bill Nye lie and they are rewarded financially.
Climate realists like you and me tell the truth while becoming poorer.
Who still believes crime does not pay or liars do not prosper?
“That is why they call it a flood plain.”
And as long as we go on building more and more on flood plains and restricting natural drainage on other land, the floods will potentially get worse and worse.
And if Bill Nye had any morals that is what he would teach on his show instead of CAGW.
CAGW is just another ‘Blame the Other Guy’ (instead of your poor judgement) — aka Scapegoating which was brought into vogue starting with Sigmund Freud**, the father of psychoanalysis. For years we have moved away from the point of view that the individual is responsible for themselves to the view point that your parents, your teachers and your community is responsible for everything that has gone wrong for or with you.
This article is a good example of the type of thinking I am talking about. The person switched from psychology to sociology because they did not like the idea of individualism or the positive effects of adversity.
Put another way I would say that mental illness (even physical illness) of any form is never sourced in the individual alone, but in the relations and context that surround us. EQUALS Blame The Other DUDE!
And if you think about it Blame The Other DUDE is what the Progressives use as their major weapon.
What are Blacks now taught? Self sufficiency, drag yourself up by the bootstraps??? HECK NO! If you do not get what you want, blame Whitey and yell RACIST!
The problem is Blame The Other DUDE for your problems and short comings is very very seductive which is why it works so well.
And here is the final part of the essay which shows where all this is headed:
And then we will live forever more in the land of lollipops, rainbows and unicorns.
I guess this guy forgot Man is the KILLER Ape, a PREDATOR and snowflakes living in their safe spaces who have never heard a harsh word have no defence what so ever against bullies or tyrants. Of course that is just what you want in a serf/slave class.
……
** Knowing WHY you hate dogs or fear heights is very very useful in dealing with that fear. But it is still up to YOU to do the dealing instead of blaming someone else and letting it go at that. Also wrapping children up in cotton batting and never allowing them to face hard reality gives us the child-adults we now see populating our universities.
LEADERSHIP: 6 Things I’m Glad I learned About Adversity
Bill Nye, the phony science guy.
He is not a scientist and not a journalist. He is a parasite in a bow tie.
Tony, I believe your analysis summarizes the fact that a large portion of Louisiana is part of the Mississippi River flood plain. That line of reasoning has little to do with the recent flooding in Louisiana as Mississippi River levels were nowhere near flood stage during the flooding. What does geologic evidence of repeated Mississippi River flooding have to do with the recent flood that was not caused by the Mississippi River?
Bill Nye = mechanical engineer
Tony Heller = electrical engineer
Dr Ofwhat earns another F.
It is a “flood”plain. Not a Mississippi plain. It floods.
Yes Dr. A.
A state with an average elevation of 100′ above sea level and which lies at the estuary of the single largest drainage port of North America. And has multiple rivers, bayous, lakes, and swamps, where people inter their dead above ground because of the water table and frequent FLOODING, should never be expected to flood under heavy rains. Right?
Sometimes I wish this sight had a filter button for dumb asses!
Sure there’s lots of flood plains and Louisiana is mostly low elevation relative to sea level. The issue is Tony’s informative map and commentary clearly only describes the Mississippi River flood plain. And as you alleged geniuses know the Mississippi River was not responsible for this particular flood. Repeated depositions of silt and sediment actually reflect massive Mississippi River flooding throughout geologic time. A “geologist” would know this evidence has nothing to do with the recent flood.
For those that need a filter to identify misrepresentations: the grey shaded area in the map flanks the Mississippi River. It does not show the flood plains relevant to the recent flood.
It does not show the flood plains relevant to the recent flood.
:lol:
Dr A appears to lack a basic understanding of the concept of drainage. That precipitation that falls on relatively flat land drains away much more slowly than that which falls on steeper ground. That alluvial soils in areas with normally high water tables simply can’t abosorb much more water and thus heavy rains result in accumulation on the surface and result in flooding.
Dr A has shown a distinct lack of unbderstanding about most things to do with science, engineering etc
Dr of cafe ? ie Arts lecturer?
Dr of Baristology?
No, No Gator it is Dr. Bare A$$tology
Tony Heller = GEOLOGIST as well as electrical engineer.
Geology teaches you not to build on the d@mn flood plain it is part of the river. Is that simple enough for you?
The next person who is spreading un-truths for power/profit is Tom Steyer who is probably running for Governor of California in 2018.
