More animals are killed every single day by other animals than by people. There are entire wars raging across continents between trillions and trillions of ants, claiming billions of casualties every single day. Some predators start eating their prey while those are still alive and breathing, others lay their eggs into them, causing horrific death, some even brainwash their prey. Every single animal on the planet is constantly tryint to overwhelm the ecosystem it inhabits, the only reason they are unable to do so is becuase they are viciously opposed, tortured and slaughtered by the thousands by other animals. Whenever an animal species gets the chance, they will absolutely destroy their ecosystem, causing extinction on a massive scale. See for a mild example any time humans have introduced invasive species, and for about a thousand more extreme examples anytime an invasive species managed to introduce itself. Fact is, humans are the only species willing and able to even try and give a shit, to care, so ease suffering. Take of your rose tinted glasses...

@@Alexander_Kale An interesting comment. But Alexander, (or can I call you Alex?), there are processes at work such as: A) Oceanic Acidification, where the Oceans absorb 25% of our CO2 and become more Acidic, as shown in Scientific American Magazine. That threatens the shells of such creatures like Crabs and Oysters that we like to eat. Some would say "Well, its evolution-- let them evolve to survive". But evolution took place slowly, over millions and billions of years. We are changing the Planet at a Rate that other Species cannot keep up with. B) Oceanic Oxygen Depletion: (as described in a Nov 2015 article in the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology), where the warming Ocean (which absorbs over 90% of the Man-Made Heat), threatens the Plankton that make anywhere from 66% to 70% of the Oxygen that you and I breathe. And these processes could NOT care less what a bunch of Ants do to each other in Africa or whether Scientists made a mistake and predicted a New Ice was coming -- in 1978 (as my friend Sean Hannity of Faux News, likes to say all the time). As I keep telling Sean all the time : "Sean, OK, so for argument's sake, they made a mistake in 1978 about the Ice Age". But it's not 1978 anymore-- it's 2019 and we should NOT make a mistake NOW, thinking that just because some Scientists were wrong in the 1970s, that they cannot be RIGHT in 2019!" Unfortunately, my friend Sean Hannity does not hear me when i shout at the TV!
Regarding personal consumption. We may feel the need to impress the idea that each of us personally must change our ways, that all we do is bad and wrong. This approach not only alienates the people we most want to reach, it utterly fails to address the real culprits in the matter: - 101 multinational corporations producing 71% of global greenhouse emissions. - Single largest user being the US military. - If the wealthiest top 10% lowered themselves to first world middle class standards it would decrease global emissions by a THIRD!- They own their own jets, they fly everywhere.- Thousands of Hiroshima size bombs going off in the atmosphere All Day Every Day!! Instead our approach lays both blame and responsibility on the many individuals that did not cause the problem and cannot alone or even through cooperative efforts to change their own ways fix the problem. I have changed many of my ways. But only in order to live in a state of integrity with myself. When I see or have no choice but to engage in wasteful use, it clutters my brain. And too much literally makes it impossible to think beyond my constant state of frustration with what I cannot change. Beyond that need to live in a state of integrity with oneself though, what we really need to focus on is speaking truth to power, demanding the changes we need. And we need to focus on ousting entrenched Fossil fuel sycophants- they refer to themselves as our "Representatives", in favor of true publicly funded Progressives that will fight for the global level changes that will actually address the problem and give humanity a real shot at survival. And that is what, and all, it is now. A shot at survival of the species. Please take action.
@A Person Likely older than you honey, at least the wrinkles and stray white hairs strongly suggest it may be true. Do some actual research yourself into our present situation; jet stream weakening, arctic temps soaring, ocean absorbing far more heat than previously realized, crop failures and superstorms around the globe, species loss rate soaring, ecosystems collapsing, methane spewing from arctic permafrost, Antarctica thought to be stable now melting at an alarming rate. Then you owe me an apology smartass.

I installed a 6.4kW solar system on my roof. It offsets 90% of our electrical energy usage, and has an 8 year ROI. I also try to buy local produce, and ride my bicycle (instead of driving) when I can.
Sounds like a plan that everyone could actually do. So, if every new house was required to be built with solar (and a battery) to cover say 200% of what the house actually uses that would could be a start that maybe all of use could get behind. Then maybe those that already have a house will see the benefit and maybe do the same as @Jess has done. Then maybe more and more will move to ALL Electric Cars to make use of all the free electricity. The "Plan" needs to start somewhere. Maybe if Obama had made this a priority we would already have a lot of houses built with solar. And how about a requirement for business's of a certain size to add solar like is the case with Apple, Google and Microsoft for their data centers. We need a real Plan and not just talk about it.
@@d21mike Just needs the votes and not stupid people like the legislators in Jon's video (I miss Jon Stewart!) ruclips.net/video/IPgZfhnCAdl/видео.html
I firmly believed, after the twin towers imploding, that the most rational response would be to have our military install solar power cells on every home in America. Unfortunately, we haven't had a president that wasn't controlled by big oil. But just imagine what a few trillion dollars of solar panels would have done to damage the flow of American currency into the pockets of oil producing middle east countries. It would have been a war with no collateral damage.
Good for you but as Bill and others have said people need to vote. The word of mouth process of telling each person to go green is too slow for the 11 year window we have to change course. I read that US power grids have contracts to use a minimum amount of fossil fuel to keep that business a float and with no battery to story that much renewable they just lose those renewables. 101 multinational corporations producing 71% of global greenhouse emissions.
I completely support your decision to do something to reduce your dependency on fossil fuels and I am considering doing the same at my house. However, I don't want the government telling me or anyone else how they have to live. These things cost money so requiring all new houses to have solar panels increases the cost of housing which makes it harder to buy a house. Renewable energy is more expensive than conventional thus more renewable makes energy bills higher which hurts the poor the most. If you want more renewable consider setting up a non-profit that is not part of the government that though donations subsidies the poor to install solar panels don't use the government to strong arm people into doing something through regulation as that puts a poor taste in peoples mouth and makes them resentful.
My only complaint is that he is skipping the part about helping create the political will to enable Congress to act. Just voting is like buying an electric car. We need to tell Congress we want action now. Here is an effective way to do that: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act/. Please pass it on.
Like how the host and all his guests are a complete and impressive collection of feelings-based, facts-ignoring, partisan hacks led by the devil and his minions. If that is why you left your comment, I must agree... although pretty sure you were showing your enamoration for these evil individuals.
First time I seen Bill was in "The Science Guy" back in Elementary followed by "The Magic school bus". My favorite show as a child and now still love listening to his reason. And now with Klepper? Shit just got better.
Bill Nye is wrong though when he says 'The most important thing you can do: Vote'. We have a 2-Party-System in America, strongly suffering from the Rachet-Effect, so no, you should vote real quick for the Lesser-Evil and then not waste time thinking more about t and instead unionize and soialize. Voting is just a tiny part of the Whole, Experts stress.
Regardless of ones credentials, the wacky left will latch on to anyone who spews their bullshit. The other Science Guy, Ted Danson (like Nye, he also plays a scientist on tv) said the world will end in 10 years. That was stated in 1988.
Lol at the end, the person you can hear laugh in the background at Klepper saying "Oh, I thought it was easy" to Bill saying happiness makes you live longer. XD
Oh, I am totally serious. Instead of the stakes of WWIIs.' outcome, ie what language and flag my children and their children will speak/live under, we humans face the prospect of leaving behind a blighted hellscape of a planet (When we die, or before) that for most humans will be an often literal battle to survive.. WWii was a titanic conflict and I don't take it lightly, but frankly 60,000,000+ dead will seem trivial compared to the short lives we are setting up for those who come after us. The GOP knows that they're dooming us, but they're OLD and SELFISH. They know the situation on some level but they are forcing the rest of us to come along with their "Rapture", as long as they can make money, their thinking goes, 'f*ck who comes after we die.' I dont understand that level of greed. They need to be voted out, which, despite Big Oil and Russia, they are a shrinking demographic as they die off in front of Hannity pretty fast. We the caring can take back control and hit the breaks before this Honey Bucket tanker of SH*T goes over the cliff and f*cks us for good but if we continue at this disastrous rate of destruction, sh*t we're screwed. We need to change so much, like WWII but 10 times more thought and sacrifice will go into it, or we'll die. Simple and hard. But we put a man on the moon.. We can do this but we may need to remove some obstacles like the Big Oil lobby but when push comes to shove, we humans are more than capable of un-f*cking ourselves. 👊
As important as voting is asking your currently elected leaders to do what you want. When enough of us do that, Congress will act. Citizens' Climate Lobby a group with a good policy to get started with. Write Congress weekly: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act
Spread the word. Talk to you’re class mates, your neighbors, hold up a sign that you support climate change. You’re never too young or too old to make a change
Do you think the same two years later? Young people educate themselves, promote ideas, listen to all types of information, and you’re probably two years closer to voting
Lorena Andrea Vodniza Gonzalez i’m actually 8 days away from turning 18 and I’m excited to vote for change. But i’ve already found other ways to make change. In order to graduate at my school with an honors diploma you have to write a senior paper + do a project based on that paper. Currently i’m in the process of trying to switch my cafeteria from using single use plastic trays/utensils to reusable trays and compostable utensils
@@tortillawhisperer5811 OMG HAHAH THAT’S SO AWESOME! How are you doing with that? My college has reusable trays that we can take to our dorms and return later to wash. It means more people are hired, which realistically means food plan costs are higher, but interestingly, there’s little incentive for students to bring their own reusable containers and wash them in dorm kitchens.
@@thejarjosh The easiest example to refute your claim is the fact that literally 50% of The Great Barrier Reef is destroyed, due to bleaching, higher average temperatures, ocean acidification, and less oxygen in the ocean(see ocean acidification).

If people want to know what they can do to help prevent climate disaster, there is only one answer: start a revolution. We celebrate the fact that our founding fathers started a revolution, it would just be following a noble tradition.
MSM needs to discuss what’s causing natural disasters while reporting on the nation’s destructive weather. Like a reporter explaining what is causing people to protest in the streets.

US did not just rely on taxes, we also had multiple drives to buy bonds to fund greater military spending, and encouraged home gardens and recycling - from kids roaming around looking for cans, tires, etc; collecting cooking fats to use for industry, etc. AND we had up to 16M [well over 10% of the population] in uniform.
I'm a big supporter of war bonds - don't enter a fight you can't afford instead of taxing U.S. citizens and acquiring international debt just so we can police the planet. Better to use that money on developing cleaner energy production.
Being scientifically literate is why I am pro nuclear energy I understand why old power plants like Chernobyl and Fukushima were unsafe and why nuclear waste is a problem and that technologies such as generation IV reactors,thorium, and waste reprocessing can solve these problems.

Our generation is the most important. We decide if humans stay weak divided or strong together. Our role on this earth is so important its scary to think of failure.
Funfact, there was an amateur race, a model 3 was in it, it won everything it could, the other drivers have been that upset that the race organizers disqualified it for using unallowed fuel! Funny, i thought it was all about power, speed and driving skills, not the kind of fuel!
We have pumped up the CO2 to 414 ppm from 280 ppm pre-industrial. But 280 ppm is the upper level of CO2 in 10 of the most recent heating and cooling cycles over the last 800,000 years. Heating began at 180 ppm and rose to 280 ppm, whereupon the negative feedbacks kicked in and cooled things down. This heating event is starting from the HIGH concentration and is now FAR outside of the historical range. Completely unique. The biggest variable in play? Human activity and the release of fossil carbon.
It's so hard getting people to care about things that might be past their lifetimes. I feel for the newborns who might see in their lifetimes serious issues for all and I wonder what the newborns of that age will think of us that did nothing when there was still time.
Solid State batteries seem like an under-discussed way to address climate change. They have higher energy density. The price floor for them is potentially much lower than Lithium Ion batteries. This is because we can make them out of cheaper raw materials. However, we haven't figured out how to mass produce the really good ones yet. Electric cars and electricity storage would then be much cheaper, so the intermittency of solar and wind wouldn't be as much of an issue. We could also just do nuclear power, but it has too much bad pr.

Bill needs to tell the truth. We passed the tipping point climate wise over 15 years ago. That is a fact. All we can do at this point is slow it down and hope we can come up with a technology to fix it.
We could maybe plant more trees and protect the amazon rain forest and clean our ocean water ? Improving our ecology is more beneficial then an elektric car. More green means less CO2 emissions.
Any climate denier over 50 should go back to their favorite nature spot they went to when they were kids, you tell me does it look the same? Or has nature been depleted?
Ler's not forget to make big corporations and the ultra rich pay their share of taxes. That could be contributed to fight the problem. Those fuckers take and don't give back.
One thing is to do what you can at home, but when it really matters, you need big organizations. I'm happy that we, in the EU, just put together a parliament that can't function unless they figure out how to listen to each other, with the green alliance being a heavy weight. Unfortunately the nationalists also won some ground, which is counter productive on that matter. I'm kinda young, I'm no denier of that the climate is changing, but I am still sceptic whether it's all our fault or partly our fault. But that doesn't mean that I'm against doing what we can to eliminate our impact on nature. I'm actually very much for that idea, and when we're done with that, perhaps we can help nature even more. Be good to each other, and that living earth we live on... it only makes sense, whether you believe climate change is human made or not... anyone refusing to do so is just a simple being.
loved the insight on notion that the deniers will need to "die out" because even in scientific theory, it is hard to change the mainstream view until the "old guard" retires (Kuhn, 1957?) what can we do to accelerate the denial-view extinction? seems to have someething to do with the voting power of young adults
One of the most effective actions you can take is to help create the political will to enable Congress to act. A quick and easy way to do that is to tell them what you want. We can each take a minute a week to do that from. here: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act/. Please pass it on.
In these discussions about renewables its all about producing electricity. Nearly half the planet is cold year round and resistance heating is horribly inefficient. I would like to hear more info on environmentally sound innovations to keep me warm during the next polar vortex.
I find that the whole argument that some make about how there's actually LESS Carbon oxides in our atmosphere now than in other points in the history of earth (with complex life present) to be much like how if the temperature were to go from -18 degree's Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) to 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) in 3 minutes most people are saying how weird it is that it changed so fast and a small portion figured out why and have told us how to slow its progress, meanwhile there are those who just say sure it changed 18 degrees in 3 minutes but at one point it was 54 degrees Celsius on the planet so no need to worry...
In Costa Rica, a lot of people live forever, and I know why. They don't allow the concept of TIME to bother them. They never show up for appointments on time or at all, when the mood strikes them. It's a pain in the ass dealing with tradesmen, but you can't help but admire the chutzpah, and it seems to add up to stress-free living. Foreigners who live here for years end up adopting the approach, because hey, why not? Tourists go nuts, freak out, go home and die young.
How is no one concerned by the comment, “300 million people are burning gas, and driving, and whatever else they’re doing?”. As soon as bill bye admitted to being concerned with “whatever else they’re doing”, proves that this isn’t just about the climate.
I think the best we can do is to pursue the right mindset, shrink our own footprint, try to show good example, and stop being hypocrites - denial is only a part of the problem, almost all of us who DO accept scientific facts actually still don't give a f..k when it comes to cutting back on our comfy lifestyles. Regarding deniers, I doubt it would be an age related issue, there are quite a lot of them in the younger generations too, you can't just wait for them to die off. I would advise everyone to stop bragging about how green-eco-bio-whatever you are, stop blaming others or annoying them with your high moral standards, forget about answering questions that they didn't ask. This sort of radical activism is counterproductive most of the time, this approach just makes people hedge and stop listening to you. We have to let it sink in slowly, that's our best hope to convince enough fellows to make a true difference. Ultimately, it's hard to be optimistic, we can't really change the way people think, the real eyeopener will be the already unfolding hard evidence that soon no one will be able to avoid.
Then you kinda missed his main point... Driving an electric car, recycling, veganism, being fuel efficient on a personal level change little to nothing in reality... We need to change the world's energy producing processes and what that energy powers through "sweeping" actions by electing people to enforce these concepts. Not "cutting back our comfy lifestyles" as that doesn't mean shiza with 7.46 Bn people on the planet and companies creating the most pollution...
Outstanding! Smart people talking about important topics. I am old, so I'll be dead before global warming will be a critical thing. But, it is already causing problems now -- problems I can afford to deal with now, but future generations will have to pay for. During WWII, people made sacrifices. Today, it seems nobody wants to give up any comforts. It is "our right" to dive a 10MPG truck to our office job. Anyway, great video.
Yeah he’s got ideas but the government ain’t gonna do shit about this. They don’t care. They clearly haven’t care for years. Quit relying on the government to get things done.
An answer to Bill's question of, if we had no explanation for these events, it would be exclaimed "God did it." Although I won't be here then, younger folks need to move your asses NOW!

I installed a 6.4kW solar system on my roof. It offsets 90% of our electrical energy usage, and has an 8 year ROI. I also try to buy local produce, and ride my bicycle (instead of driving) when I can.
Sounds like a plan that everyone could actually do. So, if every new house was required to be built with solar (and a battery) to cover say 200% of what the house actually uses that would could be a start that maybe all of use could get behind. Then maybe those that already have a house will see the benefit and maybe do the same as @Jess has done. Then maybe more and more will move to ALL Electric Cars to make use of all the free electricity. The "Plan" needs to start somewhere. Maybe if Obama had made this a priority we would already have a lot of houses built with solar. And how about a requirement for business's of a certain size to add solar like is the case with Apple, Google and Microsoft for their data centers. We need a real Plan and not just talk about it.
@@d21mike Just needs the votes and not stupid people like the legislators in Jon's video (I miss Jon Stewart!) ruclips.net/video/IPgZfhnCAdl/видео.html
I firmly believed, after the twin towers imploding, that the most rational response would be to have our military install solar power cells on every home in America. Unfortunately, we haven't had a president that wasn't controlled by big oil. But just imagine what a few trillion dollars of solar panels would have done to damage the flow of American currency into the pockets of oil producing middle east countries. It would have been a war with no collateral damage.
Good for you but as Bill and others have said people need to vote. The word of mouth process of telling each person to go green is too slow for the 11 year window we have to change course. I read that US power grids have contracts to use a minimum amount of fossil fuel to keep that business a float and with no battery to story that much renewable they just lose those renewables. 101 multinational corporations producing 71% of global greenhouse emissions.
I completely support your decision to do something to reduce your dependency on fossil fuels and I am considering doing the same at my house. However, I don't want the government telling me or anyone else how they have to live. These things cost money so requiring all new houses to have solar panels increases the cost of housing which makes it harder to buy a house. Renewable energy is more expensive than conventional thus more renewable makes energy bills higher which hurts the poor the most. If you want more renewable consider setting up a non-profit that is not part of the government that though donations subsidies the poor to install solar panels don't use the government to strong arm people into doing something through regulation as that puts a poor taste in peoples mouth and makes them resentful.
Just saw this after seeing Bill's appearance on Last Week Tonight, brilliant.
hayestoph yep, that was great!
My only complaint is that he is skipping the part about helping create the political will to enable Congress to act. Just voting is like buying an electric car. We need to tell Congress we want action now. Here is an effective way to do that: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act/. Please pass it on.

First time I seen Bill was in "The Science Guy" back in Elementary followed by "The Magic school bus". My favorite show as a child and now still love listening to his reason. And now with Klepper? Shit just got better.
Bill Nye is wrong though when he says 'The most important thing you can do: Vote'.

You go bill tell them how it is . Science is really cool
Regardless of ones credentials, the wacky left will latch on to anyone who spews their bullshit. The other Science Guy, Ted Danson (like Nye, he also plays a scientist on tv) said the world will end in 10 years. That was stated in 1988.
@Gaboon Viper Incredibly poor argument. Scientists do this as a fucking life path. Bill played a scientist on tv. huuuuuuge difference.

Great interview! Simple informative realist alarming but hopeful!

Comparing the problem/solution of climate change to that of WWII, very apt.
Well it is appropriate given the gravity of the issue
It's an even bigger problem than WWII
Oh, I am totally serious. Instead of the stakes of WWIIs.' outcome, ie what language and flag my children and their children will speak/live under, we humans face the prospect of leaving behind a blighted hellscape of a planet (When we die, or before) that for most humans will be an often literal battle to survive.. WWii was a titanic conflict and I don't take it lightly, but frankly 60,000,000+ dead will seem trivial compared to the short lives we are setting up for those who come after us. The GOP knows that they're dooming us, but they're OLD and SELFISH. They know the situation on some level but they are forcing the rest of us to come along with their "Rapture", as long as they can make money, their thinking goes, 'f*ck who comes after we die.' I dont understand that level of greed. They need to be voted out, which, despite Big Oil and Russia, they are a shrinking demographic as they die off in front of Hannity pretty fast. We the caring can take back control and hit the breaks before this Honey Bucket tanker of SH*T goes over the cliff and f*cks us for good but if we continue at this disastrous rate of destruction, sh*t we're screwed. We need to change so much, like WWII but 10 times more thought and sacrifice will go into it, or we'll die. Simple and hard. But we put a man on the moon.. We can do this but we may need to remove some obstacles like the Big Oil lobby but when push comes to shove, we humans are more than capable of un-f*cking ourselves. 👊
16:00 "oh I thought it was easy" perfect line
Yes, its 1:20am and I cannot sleep. Also, I studied environmental science so I am interested
As important as voting is asking your currently elected leaders to do what you want. When enough of us do that, Congress will act. Citizens' Climate Lobby a group with a good policy to get started with. Write Congress weekly: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act
Bill: voting is the best way to change
Bill: young people are gonna do the change
Me: wtf am I supposed if I’m to young to vote smh
Watch. And be ready to make the right choice when your time comes.
Spread the word. Talk to you’re class mates, your neighbors, hold up a sign that you support climate change. You’re never too young or too old to make a change
Do you think the same two years later? Young people educate themselves, promote ideas, listen to all types of information, and you’re probably two years closer to voting

i’m actually 8 days away from turning 18 and I’m excited to vote for change. But i’ve already found other ways to make change.

Currently i’m in the process of trying to switch my cafeteria from using single use plastic trays/utensils to reusable trays and compostable utensils
@@tortillawhisperer5811 OMG HAHAH THAT’S SO AWESOME! How are you doing with that? My college has reusable trays that we can take to our dorms and return later to wash.

Sounds like pretty impressive resume to me 😏
If people want to know what they can do to help prevent climate disaster, there is only one answer: start a revolution. We celebrate the fact that our founding fathers started a revolution, it would just be following a noble tradition.
MSM needs to discuss what’s causing natural disasters while reporting on the nation’s destructive weather. Like a reporter explaining what is causing people to protest in the streets. But they won’t because a huge part of their ad revenue comes from big oil and the auto industry.

US did not just rely on taxes, we also had multiple drives to buy bonds to fund greater military spending, and encouraged home gardens and recycling - from kids roaming around looking for cans, tires, etc; collecting cooking fats to use for industry, etc. AND we had up to 16M [well over 10% of the population] in uniform.
I'm a big supporter of war bonds - don't enter a fight you can't afford instead of taxing U.S. citizens and acquiring international debt just so we can police the planet. Better to use that money on developing cleaner energy production.
Klepper: it's PAN-OH-PLEE!!
I agree with Bill we need fast change quick! Unfortunately corporation's don't want to sell oranges when they still have apples to sell.
Carbon tax will solve that quickly. Best example is Canada
Maybe the problem is that CO2 is a bad object to hate?
Hating others is easy and unites people instantly!
Molecules are quite abstract to most people!
Who to hate then when we can't handle molecules.

We need more positivity like this. I understand the old idea of cynicism = wisdom, but it doesn't.
Huh? I thought this was "cynical"? Sure, in a positive way, but still cynical... That's what gave it the 'punch' so to speak.
Klepper, you’re meant to do big things man.
oO well you could see the using electrycity for a toast idea as a metaphor for generally heating stuff then Id definitely give it to the heating
We have pumped up the CO2 to 414 ppm from 280 ppm pre-industrial. But 280 ppm is the upper level of CO2 in 10 of the most recent heating and cooling cycles over the last 800,000 years. Heating began at 180 ppm and rose to 280 ppm, whereupon the negative feedbacks kicked in and cooled things down. This heating event is starting from the HIGH concentration and is now FAR outside of the historical range. Completely unique. The biggest variable in play? Human activity and the release of fossil carbon.
It's so hard getting people to care about things that might be past their lifetimes. I feel for the newborns who might see in their lifetimes serious issues for all and I wonder what the newborns of that age will think of us that did nothing when there was still time.
OMG I adore Bill Nye.
actually I am eating toasted toast while watching this
it would be interesting to see them talk about covid and the global crisis etc
Solid State batteries seem like an under-discussed way to address climate change. They have higher energy density. The price floor for them is potentially much lower than Lithium Ion batteries. This is because we can make them out of cheaper raw materials. However, we haven't figured out how to mass produce the really good ones yet. Electric cars and electricity storage would then be much cheaper, so the intermittency of solar and wind wouldn't be as much of an issue. We could also just do nuclear power, but it has too much bad pr.
I wish Jordan would've taken over The Daily Show.
Nah... His 'right wing' persona is the best and hosting the daily show doesn't really revolve around that type of character... The opposition was similar in concept to The Colbert Report, but with a Alex Jones format... I think if he leaned more towards the news show the result would be more popular. But this is all my opinion and I'm just glad to see him around regardless.
I'm here for Nye, not Klepper. I love Trevor Noah. It's extremely useful to have the perspective of someone who grew up in a substantially different culture.

Bill needs to tell the truth. We passed the tipping point climate wise over 15 years ago. That is a fact. All we can do at this point is slow it down and hope we can come up with a technology to fix it.
You go bill nye tell it how it is! Great discussion
What a brilliant guy. Mr. Nye is pretty smart, too:)
We could maybe plant more trees and protect the amazon rain forest and clean our ocean water ? Improving our ecology is more beneficial then an elektric car. More green means less CO2 emissions.

Got to give it to Bill. he has really aged well, a good sign he has taken care of himself!!
One thing is to do what you can at home, but when it really matters, you need big organizations. I'm happy that we, in the EU, just put together a parliament that can't function unless they figure out how to listen to each other, with the green alliance being a heavy weight. Unfortunately the nationalists also won some ground, which is counter productive on that matter.
I'm kinda young, I'm no denier of that the climate is changing, but I am still sceptic whether it's all our fault or partly our fault. But that doesn't mean that I'm against doing what we can to eliminate our impact on nature. I'm actually very much for that idea, and when we're done with that, perhaps we can help nature even more.
Be good to each other, and that living earth we live on... it only makes sense, whether you believe climate change is human made or not... anyone refusing to do so is just a simple being.
loved the insight on notion that the deniers will need to "die out" because even in scientific theory, it is hard to change the mainstream view until the "old guard" retires (Kuhn, 1957?)
what can we do to accelerate the denial-view extinction? seems to have someething to do with the voting power of young adults
One of the most effective actions you can take is to help create the political will to enable Congress to act. A quick and easy way to do that is to tell them what you want. We can each take a minute a week to do that from. here: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act/. Please pass it on.
Science and Acting have one rule in common. Respect the method.
In these discussions about renewables its all about producing electricity. Nearly half the planet is cold year round and resistance heating is horribly inefficient. I would like to hear more info on environmentally sound innovations to keep me warm during the next polar vortex.

I find that the whole argument that some make about how there's actually LESS Carbon oxides in our atmosphere now than in other points in the history of earth (with complex life present) to be much like how if the temperature were to go from -18 degree's Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) to 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) in 3 minutes most people are saying how weird it is that it changed so fast and a small portion figured out why and have told us how to slow its progress, meanwhile there are those who just say sure it changed 18 degrees in 3 minutes but at one point it was 54 degrees Celsius on the planet so no need to worry...
There wasn't a single comma or period in your comment. You know nothing.
In Costa Rica, a lot of people live forever, and I know why. They don't allow the concept of TIME to bother them. They never show up for appointments on time or at all, when the mood strikes them.

Foreigners who live here for years end up adopting the approach, because hey, why not? Tourists go nuts, freak out, go home and die young.

There are t-shirts that commemorate the notion of Rocket Surgery.
How is no one concerned by the comment, “300 million people are burning gas, and driving, and whatever else they’re doing?”. As soon as bill bye admitted to being concerned with “whatever else they’re doing”, proves that this isn’t just about the climate.
I think the best we can do is to pursue the right mindset, shrink our own footprint, try to show good example, and stop being hypocrites - denial is only a part of the problem, almost all of us who DO accept scientific facts actually still don't give a f..k when it comes to cutting back on our comfy lifestyles.
Regarding deniers, I doubt it would be an age related issue, there are quite a lot of them in the younger generations too, you can't just wait for them to die off. I would advise everyone to stop bragging about how green-eco-bio-whatever you are, stop blaming others or annoying them with your high moral standards, forget about answering questions that they didn't ask. This sort of radical activism is counterproductive most of the time, this approach just makes people hedge and stop listening to you. We have to let it sink in slowly, that's our best hope to convince enough fellows to make a true difference. Ultimately, it's hard to be optimistic, we can't really change the way people think, the real eyeopener will be the already unfolding hard evidence that soon no one will be able to avoid.
Then you kinda missed his main point... Driving an electric car, recycling, veganism, being fuel efficient on a personal level change little to nothing in reality... We need to change the world's energy producing processes and what that energy powers through "sweeping" actions by electing people to enforce these concepts. Not "cutting back our comfy lifestyles" as that doesn't mean shiza with 7.46 Bn people on the planet and companies creating the most pollution...
