Weather Channel founder calls Bill Nye ‘a pretend scientist in a bow tie’
A stormy fight is brewing between Weather Channel founder John Coleman and Bill Nye the Science Guy – who bashed a new movie featuring Coleman that denies the existence of global warming. “I have always been amazed that anyone would pay attention to Bill Nye, a pretend scientist in a bow tie,” Coleman said Friday, according to ClimateDepot.com .

The science smackdown started after Nye shunned the film “Climate Hustle,” which Coleman introduces, and warned viewers not to take it seriously.
“I think it will expose your point of view as very much in the minority and very much not in our national interest and the world’s interest,” Nye said of the movie, according to the climate change website.
But Coleman, who has been a meteorologist for 60 years, fired back that the flick is legit, saying Nye spouts junk science.
