TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): You're using the language of politics, look you're not a scientist as you know. You're a popularizer and that's fine.
BILL NYE: I'm using the language of economics.
CARLSON: I'm just saying to the extent that you prevent people from having an honest conversation youre doing a grave disservice to science, dont you think that?
NYE: You asked how long it would be before -- what the climate would be if humans werent involved right now, is that right?
CARLSON: Yeah, yes, thats exactly right. At what point would it have changed and Im just saying you dont actually know because its unknowable so why arent you open to questions?
NYE: So this is how long it takes you to interrupt me, okay? So it takes you quite a bit less than six seconds. So the climate would be like it was in 1750, and the economics would be that you could not grow wine worthy grapes in Britain, as you can today, because the climate is changing. The use of pesticides in the Midwest would not be increasing because the parasites, or the pests are showing up sooner and hanging around longer--
