Bill Nye wants global warming deniers to die

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.”
