Science educators doesn't mean "science teachers" there.

I never said I don't care. I think this is a discussion worth having. If I didn't, I wouldn't be having it.

I agree with most of the things you've said. I don't know whether he presents himself as an authority on things. I don't keep up with him and I haven't watched anything he's done since 4th grade science class. Maybe he does misrepresent his credentials. Maybe not.

I only defended him because swimmer's post was terrible. It was clearly just an unsubstantiated attack on his career caused by his beliefs. I don't know or really care what those beliefs are, although I'd assume they're similar to mine.

If you find your passion, and built a legacy on, educating a generation on basic science, it would be hard not to speak up when you see so many of them grow up and deny climate change. AGW seems to be Nye's main focus these days. but his communication is fraught with disdain that is not helpful.

I think I'd put Krauss in this category too. I've enjoyed some of his lectures, but when he gets on religion he can turn into a ragin' A-hole.
