RUSH: I have a story I want to share with you from one of my tech blogs. I should tell you in setting this up, Bill Nye the Science Guy is considered a hero among Millennial tech people. Now, Bill Nye… He\u2019s the scrawny little dude that wears bow ties. He wears a white lab coat everywhere he goes, and he has a feature on PBS where he explains, you know, why water evaporates and why water runs downhill, things like that, and he\u2019s consider a great “scientist.<\/p>\n

Bill Nye the Science Guy. He explains common, ordinary, everyday scientific things. But he\u2019s not a scientist. He\u2019s an actor. He\u2019s got training in the performance arts. He\u2019s not a scientist. But Millennials think that he is. Millennials think that Bill Nye the Science Guy is as accredited a scientist as there is for any other physicist in the world, and he\u2019s ticked them off<\/a>. Another thing I gotta tell you… You gotta trust me on this. I know you don\u2019t read these guys like I do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These people all believe that we\u2019re gonna have to go live on Mars if humanity is to survive because of climate change on earth — and they literally believe that it\u2019s possible. You know, Bill Gates talks about it, that means it can be done. Elon Musk says he\u2019s gonna develop Mars and these people think it\u2019s gonna happen, and they believe it. They all believe it. I\u2019ve never seen a bunch of more apocalyptic people. What is that vampire show or that zombie show?<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead? That\u2019s what they think the country is, a bunch of zombies. The Walking Dead. The zombies are the Republicans, and they\u2019re out eating everybody, and trying to take over everybody, and we can only escape and survive by going to Mars or by colonizing an asteroid that might be flying by, or maybe the Moon. They really believe this stuff, folks! I\u2019m not just making it up. They\u2019ve been scared to death that the planet can\u2019t support them, within 40 years or 30 when they hit 65.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have a story from one of the tech blogs, and the headline: “Bill Nye the Buzzkill Guy Says We\u2019ll Never Live on Mars,” and this blogger is livid. Bill Nye — maybe for the first time in his career as a so-called scientist — has told somebody something that\u2019s actually true, and now these young tech bloggers are outraged. Let me read a little bit of this to you. To me, it\u2019s important. This is what we\u2019re up against. We\u2019re up against this kind of mal-education, un-education, propagandizing, indoctrination.<\/p>\n

Young people who are journalists and who are writing about how Apple sucks and the iPhone sucks and all of that, are the same people that believe we only have one hope and that\u2019s getting to Mars. And that it\u2019s gonna be done within the next 10 to 15 years because Elon Musk says so, and along comes Bill Nye to put the kibosh on it. “If you\u2019ve been paying attention to any kind of space news over the past few years, you already know that the race to Mars is heating up in a big way.<\/p>\n

“Elon Musk and SpaceX regularly talk about the possibilities of not only traveling to the Red Planet, but actually making it livable for humans, and NASA is slowly piecing together plans for the very first manned missions to [Mars]. It\u2019s an exciting time… as long as you\u2019re not Bill Nye, apparently. In a recent interview with USA Today, the longtime [science guy] shot down dreams of humans on Mars in intense fashion.<\/p>\n

“In a recent interview with USA Today the longtime science guy shot down dreams of humans on Mars in intense fashion. Nye told USA Today[,] ‘We can\u2019t even take care of this planet where we live, and we\u2019re perfectly suited for it, let alone another planet.'” The tech blogger says, “I mean, he does have a point there. We humans are essentially suffocating our home planet…” (laughing) He\u2019s got one point, that we are suffocating earth, not that we can\u2019t get to Mars. No, that\u2019s absurd. That\u2019s crazy. Nye is wrong. But he\u2019s right that we\u2019re “suffocating our home planet.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not suffocating our home planet. We\u2019re not choking it. We\u2019re not killing it. We couldn\u2019t. We could launch every nuke missile we\u2019ve got, we could detonate every nuclear missile we have and we would not destroy this planet. (Snort!) This is 6-year-old Common Sense 101, but these people… “We humans are essentially suffocating our home planet, and while there\u2019s a lot of concern over the sustainability of the path we\u2019re on, the vast majority of people seem content to roll the dice and hope future generations find a way to fix what we\u2019ve ruined.”<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t ruined anything. The earth has never been a better place to live. Life expectancy has never been higher. Medicine, life-extending medicine has never been better. But look at what these kids believe. We\u2019re talking 30-year-olds here. We\u2019re running out of ways to fix what we\u2019ve ruined? Who\u2019s been telling them this? Well, you know as well as I do. Leftist media, leftist scientists, leftist professors, leftist media heroes. “We hope future generations find a way to fix what we\u2019ve ruined.” This is…<\/p>\n

You know, we laugh at it, properly so. But it\u2019s kind of really disappointing that we\u2019ve got young people with this apocalyptic version of the here and now and the future, when they live at a time where life — standards of living — has never been higher. It\u2019s never been better. The earth has never been cleaner. The air and the water are constantly improving because these are programs we\u2019ve all instituted in the name of self-preservation and increasing the standard of living, and yet look what these dunces believe.<\/p>\n

“However, Nye\u2019s criticism of Mars habitation goes beyond our inability to clean up our act on Earth. He also had a few things to say about how difficult it would be to make Mars a comfortable place for life.” Now, this only has an impact if you actually were believing we could get to Mars, colonize it, and basically transmit a whole country of people there. Bill Nye is quoted as saying, “Nobody\u2019s gonna go settle on Mars to raise a family and have generations of Martians.<\/p>\n

\"\"“It\u2019s not reasonable because it\u2019s so cold. And there is hardly any water. There\u2019s absolutely no food, and the big thing, I just remind these guys, there\u2019s nothing to breathe.” The blogger says, “That\u2019s all true.” He guesses the plans for “Mars really don\u2019t have an answer for how we\u2019ll find the things we so desperately need to sustain ourselves.<\/p>\n

“Yes, recent research has shown that Mars soil might be just enough to do a bit of farming in, but that\u2019s just one piece of a massive puzzle that we haven\u2019t even begun to solve,” and he goes on again rip into Bill Nye for ripping people\u2019s hearts out. It\u2019s not satire. It\u2019s genuine. Colonizing Mars. (interruption) No, no, no. I just… You know what? Maybe I shouldn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

If a certain segment of population, youth or otherwise, wants to totally run around and be brain-dead stupid, fine. Leave \u2019em to it. I just actually believe that it\u2019s one heck of a resource to waste, the corruption and pollution of all these young minds, \u2019cause these kids are gonna grow up someday, and they\u2019re a bunch of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes out there that are gonna be in leadership positions someday, and we are in heap big doo-doo if that happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
