Wow how overbearingly stupid.

The author's claim is certainly not the case, as the very first episode of Bill Nye Saves the World shows. By accompanying "the other side" to the dance does not mean they will. MAYBE Nye is just going to hear and is perhaps intellectually curious about the claims to those of which he has challenged before. It does not mean he tacitly agrees. It does mean that the author has inferred that through some partisan "not like me" lens. This is terrible.

"Bill Nye does not speak for us or for the members of the scientific community who have to protect not only the integrity of their research, but also their basic right to do science."

This is a great example of how ideology eats itself.
