Bill Nye’s 2016 Forecast Challenge

As you may have heard, bodybuilder and meteorologist Joe Bastardi challenged Bill Nye the Science Guy to show a link between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the world’s temperature. He also challenged Bill to forecast where temperatures are headed over the next 5 years.

It shut Hannity's pie hole. Before, he was shooting his mouth off over how waterboarding was not torture and was justified in its use by the U.S. military. Olberman offered to pay Hannity something like $1000 for each second he lasts while being waterboarded. You didn't hear a peep from Hannity since.

Here's hoping Nye's challenge has the same effect on Bastardi, or it at least leads to people challenging his claims in the future.
