This morning on
Meet The Press, Bill Nye The Science Guy
debated Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) on whether climate change is human caused. I found this a worthy topic for debate, given that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most recent report states that there is only a mere 95% chance that humans are responsible for global warming.
Although I caught only the last few minutes of this "debate," it occurred to me that
Meet The Press should host a lot more of these things. Here are some suggestions for future topics:
- Stephen Hawking could debate Todd Akin on whether or not the Earth revolves around the sun (after all, 26% of Americans believe the Sun revolves around the Earth).
- Buzz Aldrin could debate Sarah Palin on whether or not the Moon is made of cheese.
- John Glenn could debate Ted Cruz's dad on whether or not the Earth is flat.
Those are just a few of the many controversial topics on which
Meet The Press could hold debates in the future. I'm also looking forward to a discussion on whether Jesus's preferred way to travel was to ride a brontosaurus or to fly around on the back of a pterodactyl.
UPDATE: More on this
here.
