You all know what Bill Nye is. He's a non-scientist who claims the mantle of "science educator" and hectors the rest of us for not accepting every scientific claim he gets behind. Quite condescendingly at that.
Don Lemon is somewhat more interesting to me only in the sense that when he really gets rolling, he seems to totally get lost in the absurdity of the questions he's asking. This is a guy who once wondered aloud on air if a missing jetliner had been taken by aliens, with absolutely no apparent sense of irony or humor, as humor is certainly not Lemon's thing.

You know where he's going with it. It's a setup for Nye to moralize about "climate change." But it's really something to behold Lemon suggesting that human beings can find a "root cause" for hurricanes as if they are just like poverty or drug abuse, and to do so with a totally straight face, since self-importance leaves no room for a smile:
