Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson realized
that's it's probably not a good idea to ever
debate somebody who is smarter than you.
On his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson thought
it would be a good idea to bring on Bill Nye
the Science Guy and debate the issue of climate
change.
It went exactly as you would expect.
Take 
a look.
See 
here's 
the thing, Tucker Carlson during this video,
during this interview proved that he could
actually be one of the dumbest people on Fox
News, and that is saying a lot.
It's not only because of what he said.
It's because throughout the entire video he
had that dumb ass look on his face like he
had no idea what was coming out of Bill Nye's
mouth.
He couldn't wrap his brain around it, so he
just sat there staring at the camera like
an idiot.
Beyond that, as Bill Nye points out in the
video clip, Tucker Carlson waited an average
of about six seconds into Bill Nye's responses
before he would interrupt him and not let
him finish talking about climate change.
He ended the segment by telling Bill Nye I'm
open minded, but you're not.
What the hell does that even mean?
Climate change isn't something that you have
to be open minded about.
It's science.
That's what's so great about science.
Whether you like or not or are open minded
or not, it's real.
It's indisputable at this point, but Tucker
Carlson can't understand it.
It confuses him and that angers him because
he just doesn't know any better.
He's just learning and he's doing his best,
I guess, but man, he is doing so much damage
to the public discourse at this point that
he just needs to give up.
Don't talk about climate change one way or
another at this point, Tucker, because it's
something that you don't understand.
It's something that obviously your viewers
aren't going to understand.
Even talking to someone like Bill Nye, who's
not even a climate scientist and was not explaining
it in complex terms, even that wasn't enough
to help you understand it.
God forbid you ever have to talk so somebody
like Dr. Michael Mann or Bill McKibben, people
who've dedicated their lives to this issue.
You picked probably Bill Nye based on his
celebrity status.
You thought maybe you could run him over and
you couldn't even do that.
Give it up, Tucker.
Stick to issues you understand a little better,
perhaps coloring.
But climate change, it's a little too complex
for your simple mind to be able to understand
it.
