AccuWeather’s Tropical Expert Joe Bastardi was on the O’Reilly Factor last night in a face off with Bill Nye the Science Guy. Nye kept trying to confront Bastardi with charts challenging his data, and Bastardi answered with more charts! Pretty funny. Nye looked uncomfortable.
Bastardi made news last fall after appearing on the O’Reilly Factor to discuss climate change after Greenpeace backed out of an appearance on the TV show. The following day Bastardi posted a video blog showing a surfaced U.S. submarine at the North Pole in March of 1959 sitting in thawed ocean water and the crew on the deck of the sub. This caused an uproar and the opportunity to reappear on the O’Reilly factor with Nye.
Here’s Bastardi’s v-blog post from last September (shows the sub) and his appearance with Bill Nye on the O’Reilly Factor last night. There is also this article which lists some of the other Bastardi videos and info on climate change.
I for one love Bastardi’s challenge and trying to keep the debate going. The global warming theorists are showing a heavy hand in trying to suppress debate. I attended a class recently where a respected anthropology professor called those who don’t accept the theory, “Nuts.” He also praised Al Gore for popularizing the debate. This after he said he had “no political agenda.” Come on!
