The Brave Bill Nye

This pic of Bill Nye reminds me of all the radio and television interviews I did when I was promoting my books a decade ago.  I never asked too much about the audience demographics in advance; I just presumed they were tuning in to learn something about environmental science.

All that went fine — until it didn’t — and a guy started screaming into his phone and calling me a “cockroach” because of my position that climate change posed a real threat to our civilization.

Here, Nye walks into the lion’s den.  Of course, that’s his brand.
