Hey, Sarah! We don't think you're a critical thinker, so there.

COMMENTS: 
*  She is sad. Just ... sad. "Hey, stop ignoring me, I'm important!"  No, she's not, and she's not even entertaining. Just sad.
*  Sarah is not much of a fact checker. She just makes stuff up.
*  Since you Republicans are so fond of saying that you're not scientists, how would you know?...
*  That's OK Sarah. The rest of us don't believe you're a real smart person.
*  scientist..".a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge that describes and predicts the natural world."..........I think his work and his studies qualify him as a "scientist"...However, Palin spends so much time judging people, she quite likely has never really thought about who and what a scientist is....if she asked to define "scientist" it would quite likely turn out to be as embarassing for her as her interview about what she reads to gather her opinions....
*  I don't think Sarah Palin is a real Politician.

Sarah Palin Doesn’t Think Bill Nye Is A Real Scientist

“Bill Nye is as much as scientist as I am.”

By Paige Lavender, April 14, 2016

Former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin argued Thursday that Bill Nye is not actually a scientist.

“Bill Nye is as much as scientist as I am,” Palin said at an event in Washington, D.C., according to The Hill. “He’s a kids’ show actor; he’s not a scientist.”

Palin specifically targeted Nye for his statements on global warming, saying he and others who tout the science that says humans are contributing to changes in the Earth’s climate are fueling “alarmism.”

Palin’s criticism came after a showing of a new anti-climate change documentary called “Climate Hustle,” which features a clip of producer Marc Morano interviewing Nye, who regularly speaks out about the negative effects of global warming.

“We’ve been told by fearmongers that global warming is due to man’s activities, and this [film] presents strong arguments against that in a very relatable way,” Palin told Variety in an interview published Monday.

Palin has a long history of denying that humans contribute to climate change.

Before he was known as “The Science Guy,” Nye worked as an engineer — a job firmly rooted in science — at Boeing. He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1977. In addition to his show, Nye has written several children’s books about science.

During his involvement in the entertainment industry, Nye has also kept up his work in the fields of science and education. He helped design sundials for NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover project, and was a visiting professor at Cornell for several years.
