The Duke University study claims that "fracking" had no impact on groundwater.
They added, that waste water "spills" can contaminate surface water.

Who is being misleading here?

Not sure about whose is being misleading, but what what I read from the Duke University study is that as long as things go 100% like they want it to, and there are no spills, then fracking is safe. My only criticism of that it seems like poor reporting in that the reporter should have done a bit more work and not them them squirm out by just saying if it's all good as long as nothing bad happens without asking the obvious follow up questions...

And by that I mean things never go 100% right. Like never ever. Not in my job. Not in your job Bernie. And while I'm not an expert on fracking, something tells me they don't go right there either. And ironing out who/how/what is responsible if a farmers land gets ruined, before we "drill baby drill" (and peoples land starts getting spilt on) seems like an obvious step to take, and important issue for journalists to be questioning.

After watching the clip of Rachel Bloom on Bill Nye’s show that’s supposedly about science, one had to believe that we had seen Peak Nye. Not even close. Nye seems to have decided to dedicate his new Netflix series to a string of very strange takes on sexuality, and his latest one features an ice cream orgy that ridicules religious belief, while making an incoherent argument that feelings are bad … unless they’re good. Or something (via Twitchy):



Er … wut? Let’s start with the feelz first. Vanilla gets tagged as the antagonist in this video because of his/her feelings, which gets ridiculed for its lack of science, and yet the appeal to change Vanilla’s mind is based entirely on feelings. Everyone is made different, but no one respects vanilla’s individuality. In fact, in terms of today’s political climate, all the other flavors sexually harass vanilla and pressure him/her into participating in an orgy. On most college campuses these days, every other flavor involved in this incident would get expelled under Title 31 [Flavors]. (Also as an aside, I usually make my own ice cream, and it’s not entirely non-sciencey to state that most ice cream starts with a vanilla base and has flavoring added to it to achieve other varieties. The Vanilla character is actually closest to scientific truth on that point, but #YOLO.)

As far as the digs at Christianity, Nye’s not Nero and this isn’t the Circus Maximus, but it’s still a crude, lewd, and ignorant shot at religious belief in general and Christianity in particular. It postulates a conflict between science and religion that doesn’t actually exist, except in the minds of a few militant atheists. The “big ice cream in the sky” must be Nye’s version of Richard Dawson’s Flying Spaghetti Monster, but at least Dawson didn’t create video clips of spaghetti orgies with sides of meatballs and sausages. Nye’s not interested in science here; he’s interested in middle-school taunts and name-calling, as well as a middle-school vision of sexual relations. That, plus his weird presentation here before the video, paints a very strange picture of both Nye and his version of “science.”

To echo Allahpundit’s question — is Netflix aiming this at children?

In May 1999, Nye was the commencement speaker at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he was awarded an honorary doctor of science degree.[87] He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Johns Hopkins University in May 2008.[88] In May 2011, Nye received an honorary doctor of science degree from Willamette University[89] In May 2015, Rutgers University awarded him an honorary doctor of science degree and paid him a $35,000 speaker's fee for his participation as the keynote speaker at the ceremony.[90][91] In addition, Nye also received an honorary doctor of pedagogy degree from Lehigh University on May 20, 2013, at the commencement ceremony.[92] Nye received the 2010 Humanist of the Year Award from the American Humanist Association.[93] In October 2015, Nye was awarded with an honorary doctorate of science from Simon Fraser University.[94] In 2011, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSICOP) presented Nye their highest award In Praise of Reason, Eugenie Scott stated: "If you think Bill is popular among skeptics, you should attend a science teacher conference where he is speaking" it is standing room only. She continues by saying that no one has more fun as Nye when he is "demonstrating, principles of science."[95] In 1997, CSICOP also presented Nye with the Candle in the Dark Award for his "lively, creative... endeavor".

Climate change alarmist Bill Nye wonders if there should be penalties for having ‘extra kids’
During a recent segment on his Netflix show “Bill Nye Saves the World,” television personality Bill Nye asked his guests if, in order to combat climate change, there should be policies that penalize families who have “extra kids.”

On one episode of the program, Dr. Travis Rieder, a philosopher at Johns Hopkins University, said that “the average Nigerian emits 0.1 metric tons of carbon annually. How many does the average American emit? Sixteen metric tons.” He argued that when it comes to climate change, “our two kids are way more problematic” than large families in the developing world.

Nye asked, “So should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?”

Trump grabbed some pussy at an adult event, and he doesnt even drink.
Over the line, yes.
We've had many Presidents, Democrat and Republican, and some damn good ones, that have played the pussy grabbing game.
Adult to adult.

The video on the Bill Nye kiddy program is not directed at adults.
Its a kid's show.
No moral equivalence argument you make will cover him on this one.
