    So aside from the fact that the fox interviewer suggests that the decline of volcanoes on the moon somehow disproves global warming, bill nye goes to painful and extraordinary lengths to dumb down the whole conversation. It's quite painful to watch.

    They gotta dumb it down for their audience... the only hard part to watch is the interviewer suggesting that since the moon isn't erupting anymore it disproves global warming. The guy needs to go back to middle school science class.

    In before D&D.. That was just painful. I mean what was the point about bringing up global warming?

    It looked like the Fox guy's head was about to explode after a few minutes of Nye. I think Hannity and O'Reilly should book him for a long interview.

    Nye was 30 seconds away from resorting to finger puppets.

    Almost worse was the co-anchor at the end suggesting that Bill Nye could do some "number-crunching" to solve the debt crisis, like scientists, economists, and financiers are all the same thing.

    *facepalm*

    I'm aware of that, but it made absolutely no sense other than the fact that yes, there is some math involved in both science and financial planning.

    In fairness, Fox news guy probably learned all he knows about the moon from Bill O'Reilly:

    It's obvious that if some conservatives are this dumb, liberals must all be fully-informed problem-solving savants. Obviously the entire world can only be measured on a two-dimensional axis, and intelligence and political stance are co-variables. It's the only conclusion we can rationally draw. Perhaps Bill Nye could explain more where I fall short.

    Speaking of two-dimensional axes ... liberal or conservative, right?
