IT’S HAPPENING: Sarah Palin And Bill Nye To Appear On Panel About Climate Change

Source: Bipartisan Report

Seeing Bill Nye on a panel about climate change wouldn’t surprise anyone, but on a panel with Sarah Palin? It’s happening! It will be Bill Nye the Science Guy vs. Sarah Palin, the Blithering Idiot. This event won’t be something that the former half-term governor of Alaska can woo her audience with by just talking about God and her bitter clinging of guns.

Mediaite reports:

Mark your calendar for May 2, because this is all real. It’s all happening.

Palin — who has long been known for her rambling, “disjointed” speeches and lack of fact-based assertions — has signed on to participate in a panel hosted after the nation-wide screening of Climate Hustle in hundreds of theaters. The documentary is produced by Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and Marc Morano’s ClimateDepot.com and aims to deconstruct theories about global warming.

Palin said, “I’m very passionate about this issue. We’ve been told by fear-mongers that global warming is due to man’s activities and this presents strong arguments against that in a very relatable way.”

No, Bill Nye is Not Debating Sarah Palin on Climate Change

Rumors are flying that Bill Nye, famous for publicly defending scientific consensus, will be taking up a debate with Sarah Palin, famous for political buffoonery, among other things.

As delightful as the carnage would be to witness, it’s fortunately not a debate, nor will Nye even be making a live appearance.
Here’s the truth, and a preview of the pre-recorded appearance:

The alleged debate is said to be taking place after the debut screening of Climate Hustle, a documentary by Marc Morano, a climate change denier who notably has his hands in several conservative think tank groups that receive funding from the Koch Brothers, Exxon, and others who stand to lose over carbon regulation.
According to CFACT, a climate denying think tank that holds Morano as Director of Communications, the movie will be followed by a panel discussion

Cinema audiences will learn more about the topic through a panel discussion with welcoming remarks by Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX), Chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, headlined by Governor Sarah Palin, 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Candidate and 9th Governor of Alaska, moderated by Brent Bozell, Founder and President of the Media Research Center and will also include other notable experts including renowned climatologist Dr. David Legates and a special appearance by Emmy Award-winning educator Bill Nye the Science Guy. This riveting discussion will focus on climate change and issues brought up during the event.

The average two-year-old has a greater understanding of the world than she does. It disgusts me that she still has any public attention. It is a sign of the decline of our culture.

If you did, you would know that Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and the average two-year-old (not to mention my cat, Swashbuckler), all have pretty much the same outlook on the world:

Palin has the ability to destroy brain cells with the sound of her voice. I believe she is referenced somewhere in The Odyssey.
