In a last ditch effort to save the world from President Trump’s lack of care for the environment, Scientist Bill Nye (Bill Nye the Science Guy) and Vermont Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are joining forces to save the world from public enemy number one, climate change.
During his 2016 campaign, the idea of climate change was a major factor in Sanders’ plan. Recently, he has been extremely critical over Donald Trump’s emphasis(there hasn’t been, he believes that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese). Nye views Sanders as the solution to unlocking all of the “economic solutions” of the government’s environmental solutions.
When it comes to Bill Nye the Science guy, he has his skeptics, people who claim he is not a real scientist. To that, people have to truly consider the fact that he has a bachelor’s degree and has deep knowledge over the environment. Recently, Bill Nye was featured on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson show, but, the interview caused the two to clash. Tucker, who featured Bill on his show, proved that Fox News and friends are not willing to accept the overwhelming truth of climate change. Nye claims that climate change is an issue that is 100% human caused, and claims there will be another Ice Age because of what man has done to the world.
“Humans have changed the climate so drastically that we almost certainly avoided another ice age. There would have been another Ice Age and it’s gonna happen because of you and me.”
Both Bernie Sanders and Bill Nye had a “town hall” (live stream) on Facebook discussing the matter of climate change. Their discussion goes into detail over climate change, energy and so much more. “It’s not the climate that’s changing, it’s the rate” says Nye during the live stream, discussing the issue of climate change. What these two are doing, are laying down a foundation for a better life for Earth, allowing others to stop think about the matter of climate change.
Hopefully, Bernie and Bill will be able to help steer the world in another direction that saves it from climate change, that saves us from making anymore environmental mistakes. Climate change is an issue that not many Republicans seem to care about, it is up to these environmental superheroes and other hidden figures to care and treat the environment in a way that it should be treated.
