Maher Rails Against ‘Stupid’ Americans And GOP For Being Defiantly Anti-Science, ‘Science Activist’ Weighs In

Bill Maher led an intense panel discussion on the reliability of science on his show tonight, with Maher, Abby Huntsman, Senator Bernie Sanders, and 19-year-old science education activist Zack Kopplin arguing with Wall Street Journal columnist Steve Moore over scientific consensus on global warming. Moore continually insisted the debate is not over, but Maher repeatedly explained how sound science is not up for debate and that Moore should “have the humility” to defer to actual scientific experts on the issue.

who can not win an argument using facts so he yells louder than everyone else and if they object to his pseudo "facts", he yells louder. I hate is when Maher has idiots like Moore and Huntsman on the show. I want to hear a serious discussion about serious issues. I am not interested in cutsie girls like Hunstman or rude jerks like Moore. Bernie Sanders was the sane person on the panel and could barely get a word in edgewise. However, the kid, Kopplin did get a really good zinger off to Moore but it did not really sink in. These people never hear what others say because they are thinking about their next talking point and how loud they have to yell over the sane people. But they also do not care what anyone else has to day. I am having a harder time even listening to them on any radio or television show. I understand the concept of knowing what the other side is saying but seriously...they haven't changed much of what they are saying for at least the last 30 years.

Three people were talking at the same time. Someone from the audience would have been better than Steve Moore.

although, I did like it when Bernie said[about Social Security being broke], " You're loud but you're wrong".
