Real Meteorologist Slams Bill Nye: He Knows Nothing About Atmospheric Science; He’s Not a Trained Scientist

RUSH EXCERPT: 

CARLSON: "I know you acknowledge the Earth is getting warmer and there is a debate about why. But there is a second debate that plays out in the popular press whether the warming trend is causing more severe weather events like hurricanes? Is it?"

SPENCER: "It has gotten warmer, as you said. Since the 1950s there has been a warming trend. But what we haven’t seen in terms of any long-term weather measurements is whether there has been any change in severe weather. There hasn’t been any increase in hurricanes, that is on a global basis in the united States. The frequency of the hits of the United States by major hurricanes has gone down by 50% since the 1930s and the 1940s. There has been no increase in droughts, no increase in floods. Tornadoes are down. But still weather varies a lot, especially hurricanes, year to year, decade to decade. So there is a huge amount of variability. Some stall and this is what mother nature does naturally. If there is a human influence in there you wouldn’t know it. There is natural variability."
