  1. Paid Advertisement Alert! Bill Nye is a life-long entertainment media personality, like the paid child actress Greta Thunberg, who has media credits in Sweden. Yes! They are PAID ACTORS. Who is paying them, and how much of your paycheck is being siphoned that payment? Answer that.

  2. Yay i will watch, bill!!

  3. Nbc news needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

  4. Hahahahah finally the climate hoax is over!! Morons!!! Nobody believes that nonsense! Glad I got me a 1997 polluter diesel pickup truck!!

  5. The sound on this makes it impossible for me to watch. Bills audio is spot on, but every time that other fool opens his fool mouth I have to adjust my volume down! He is very loudly saying nothing, like a carnival barker from a past with no sound amplification. What a shame. The sound people should be replaced.
    >> Tom's Ukrainian/American wife Pam <<

  6. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand Matthew chapter 6:9 isaiah chapter 9:6 ( 1 Corinthians chapter 6:9 Liviticus chapter 18:22 repent Jesus christ is Lord

  7. Bill Nye is a smart guy. I still remember watching him as a kid on his show Bill Nye the Science guy.

  8. There is no climate change!!! Another huge lie to switch from oil to electric vehicles which will enslave us even more. There will be limitations to where we can drive!! Do not believe the lies of climate change!!!

  9. Bill Nye is tool with little credit to anything science.

  10. It's like they DONT get it so he delivers REaL serious DEAL, with a lil HuMoR mixed in.. 🧐🤔

  11. Another paid lobbyist choking on money.

  12. Toitu te marae a Tane-Mahuta, Toitu te marae a Tangaroa, Toitu te tangata.

    If the land is well and the sea is well, the people will thrive.

  13. Self interest is for the past; common interest is for the future. D.Attenborough

    Native: Your kids can name more KPop groups than types of trees. – S.Sherman

    Trump: The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive.

    COP27 needs to be held in Tuvalu or Maldives.

  14. Bill nye the commie climate propaganda guy

  15. As Aristotle said around 300 BC… “A train wreck must be watched.”
    He was watching NBC when he said it.

  16. Can they get a more goofy representative for green energy? Why not the guy from Blue’s Clues?

  17. Are you freaking kidding me right now? This dude is concerned about climate change when the economy is tanking at the moment? The dude has millions so I guess he doesn't see the struggle of average Americans. Screw him and the high and mighty democrats making millions off the backs of hard working Americans.

  18. It is very telling that we tell people that the solution to climate change (the to do) we tell people is to save the oil products like plastic. That's just how much we need to respect the oil products. Ok fine. The most important things young people need to hear is that watershed comes from old growth trees. That hempcrete is a fireproof building material that has insulating properties, eats carbon out of the air, and is breathable and natural. Those make more sense, because the real issues are like having clean fresh water and fresh air to breathe.

  19. Great, another useless left right back & forth.

  20. Making hot rods illegal will not do anything to stop global warming. Coming after people that contribute nothing to climate just shows it's partisan BS

  21. This guy should be on the JAN 6 COMMITTEE . all I heard was blah,blah,blah . These people blabber on just to hear their own voices so they can feel relevant 👍 He isn't even a real scientist , he just played one on TV. Just like the JAN 6 Committee isn't a real Committee. It's made for TV.

  22. Congrats Bill Bye from new topic 🙄😂🤗

  23. Hey all you climate alarmists here’s a handy checklist you can use to wean yourselves off those nasty fossil fuels so you can show the rest of us how easy it will be to reduce the CO2 in our atmosphere to a “safe” level (whatever that is). Apparently you have a more finely honed appreciation for the dire predicament our planet is in. The following recommendations will help immensely in your altruistic efforts to spread truth, and calm the angry and out of control skies around the world by example. Here you go. Onto net zero carbon!

    1. Stop driving. You may walk, run or ride a horse everywhere you need to go. All forms of public transportation are off limits as they use fossil fuel.

    2. You cannot use any device powered by electricity (air conditioner, TV, computer, cell phone, etc.) as 61% of all US electricity is produced using fossil fuel.

    3. Stop heating or cooling your home/apartment, also no cooking of food is allowed unless you burn wood or dung. You may gather berries or catch fish with your hands or a hand made spear.

    4. You may not eat any food produced using chemical fertilizers, planted, harvested or delived to market with motorized equipment. You may eat what you grow, raise yourself or capture.

    5. You may not purchase or read any printed materials as these are produced using fossil fuels. Cave paintings are ok to look at.

    6. You may not live in any structure which required use of fossil fuel to build. Caves are permitted.

    7. You may not wear any clothing designed or produced using fossil fuel. The skins of animals are ok as long as you remove the skin from the animal and fashion it into a stylish ensemble yourself.

    8. You may not seek the services of a hospital, and of course all modern medicines are off limits. Not sure about Shamanism and voodoo..your call on those.

    9. Anything made of plastic is off limits.

    10. You cannot use money as it is produced using fossil fuel. You may barter.

    11. Stop exhaling. Exhaled human breath has 40,000 PPM of CO2.

    Perhaps you could join an Amish community, they already adhere to parts of this checklist, but even the Amish are not as committed to solving climate change as you!

    Not doable you say? 

    Besides, do you really think Al Gore, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates and the other millionaires are going to give up their fossil fueled lifestyle? Dream on.

    STOP THREATENING THE REST OF US FOR NOT GOING ALONG WITH THIS FIFTY YEAR OLD SCHEME BASED ON CORRUPTION AND LIES.

  24. A lot of this stuff will never be addressed completely when we have a large group of our population who still live in the Stone Age and are driven by fear of a sky God

  25. We are already seeing the effects of climate change yet so many people are willing to ignore it.

  26. LETS GOOO ,what a talk i love it , real talk . hit us with literally all the facts i was trying to tell people , its perfevt , drove home every point with an amazing answer

  27. I wish they would interview real climate scientists. Nye is not a real scientist. He doesn’t even have a PhD. He is a celebrity.

  28. Like Al Gore, Bill Nye isn't a climatologist. Stay in your lane, Billy.
