Fact-Checking the Bill Nye-Marsha Blackburn Climate Change 'Debate' If you are not the sort of person who watches Meet the Press (because you are not an old person), you may have missed Sunday's "debate" between Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Mr. William Nye, Science Guy. Allow me to summarize: There is no actual debate over climate change.

I pulled out the assertions presented by the participants in the discussion and evaluated them for truth. That's the point of a debate, right? Here's an example of how this will work.

So what did the guests have to say? Blackburn: But that's intentionally misleading. Why hasn't that happened now? Nye: That said, Nye simply misspoke. Alberto Cairo: There are no scraps of men. Iwan Baan: Ingenious homes in unexpected places. Tony Porter: A call to men.
