The scientifically illiterate “Science Guy” Bill Nye says the argument about climate change is over and it’s time to drag warming skeptics through the street to the gallows. Well, Nye didn’t quite say that, but he is looking forward to everyone who doesn’t see eye-to-eye with him on anthropogenic global warming to get six feet under in a hurry.

Nye told the Los Angeles Times:

Climate change deniers, by way of example, are older. It’s generational. So we’re just going to have to wait for those people to “age out,” as they say. “Age out” is a euphemism for “die.” But it’ll happen, I guarantee you — that’ll happen.

Nye isn’t the only public figure to go bonkers over “denialism.” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) wants the Department of Justice “to consider filing a racketeering suit against the oil and coal industries for having promoted wrongful thinking on climate change, with the activities of ‘conservative policy’ groups an apparent target of the investigation as well.”
