Many people were exposed to Bill Nye at a formative age and unfortunately they (still) see him as a valid scientific authority.

Not anymore, he already blew that credibility ten times over in the last decade. I don't know why anyone would not pay attention to him for 10 years and then suddenly start paying attention to him

Most people have a short attention span and that gives them a short memory. Plus information bias.

Fair enough, but it's also short enough that they can forget Nye matters at all. I haven't heard his name mentioned for years, yet here you've brought him back in to my life. So are you actually combating the propaganda, or are you just giving it more publicity? Just something to consider
