#BillNye is trending after he spoke out following the devastating flash floods in Texas, New Mexico, and North Carolina. In an interview with @cnn, the science educator calls out climate change denial and government inaction as key contributors to the growing severity of such disasters. ___________________________________
While speaking with Dana Bash, Nye said that halting the use of fossil fuels is critical if the world hopes to reduce the frequency and intensity of climate-driven events. He stressed that the window is rapidly closing while there is still time to act. “We have to stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,” Nye warned, pointing to science-backed evidence linking human activity to extreme weather.

When Bash mentioned that the second Trump administration has taken steps to end or reverse federal support for renewable energy initiatives, Nye pulled out a pocket-sized U.S. Constitution, citing its directive to “promote the progress of science and useful arts” as a reminder of the government’s responsibility to support science and innovation. ___________________________________
He continued voicing concerns from former federal officials and climate experts about the Trump administration’s deep staffing cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS). Nearly half of the agency’s 122 field offices have seen staff reductions of at least 20%, with several no longer operating 24/7. Hundreds of experienced forecasters and senior managers were also pushed into early retirement. Experts warn these cuts compromise the nation’s ability to effectively forecast and respond to extreme weather events, potentially putting more lives at risk as climate-related disasters grow in frequency and scale. 📹:(@cnn ) #TSRStaffAS
