>>> FROM NEW YORK CITY TO
NIGERIA, MORE THAN 200 EVENTS
ACROSS THE GLOBE MARKED THE
ANNUAL MARCH FOR SCIENCE THIS
APRIL AS ACTIVISTS RALLIED FOR
CHANGE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
NOW IN THE SECOND YEAR OF
EXISTENCE THE MOVEMENT BEHIND
THE MARCH IS CALLING FOR SOCIETY
TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO
GREATER ACCOUNT AND PUSH
LAWMAKERS ENACT EVIDENCED BASED
POLICIES.
BILL NYE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL
IN ELEVATING THE UNDERSTANDING
OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
HIS FILM, BILL NYE SCIENCE GUY
DEBUTED RECENTLY ON THE PBS
SERIES POIF.
AND I'M PLEASED TO WELCOME HIM
BACK.
WELCOME.
>> GOOD TO BE BACK NOW.
YOU REFER TO IT AS MY FILM.
>> AHH.
>> IT'S REALLY A FILM ABOUT ME.
I HAD NO CREATIVE CONTROL.
I SIGNED A THING, A DOCUMENT, A
CONTRACT, AN AGREEMENT.
>> YOU LET THEMT FOLLOW YOU
ANYWHERE.
>> ALMOST EVERYWHERE.
TRP THERE WERE A COUPLE OF MEN'S
ROOMS I GOT THEM TO STAY OUTSIDE
OF BY WAY OF EXAMPLE.
BUT THEY FOLLOWED ME FOR TWO
YEARS.
>> YOU TOOK US ON AN IMPORTANT
JOURNEY INTO YOUR WORK SKDING
CLIMATE CHANGE.
>> WE CONFRONTED A COUPLE OF
CLIMATE DENIERS.
THE GUY ON FOX NEWS HE DOES
SPEAKING IN FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY
VENUES.
AND HE IS -- AS MANY OF THE
CONTRARIENS SEEMED TO HAVE DONE,
HE HAS CONFUSED OR CONFLATED THE
IDEA THAT CASHEN MONOXIDE IS A
SMALL FRACTION OF THE
EARTH'SFER, LESS THAN HALF A
HUNDREDTH OF A PERCENT WITH THE
IDEA THAT IT'S MOT IMPORTANT.
>> DEALING WITH THE CLIMATE
DENIERS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY BECAUSE
THERE ISN'T 00% CONSENSUS AMONG
THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY ABOUT
THE NOTION OF CLIMATE CHANGE
THAT THAT'S REASONS TO POKE
HOLES IN THE THEORY AND SAY IT'S
NOT REAL.
>> THE PERFECT ANALOGY IS
MEDICAL DOCTORS.
IF YOU HAVE 97 OR 98 MEDICAL
DOCTORS TELLING YOU TO GET YOUR
PARATHIGH RADIO GLAND REMOVED
AND THREE DOCTORS TELLING YOU
NO.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
WOULD YOU ONLY GO FOR THE THREE?
PROBABLY NOT.
YOU'D GO WITH THE 97.
>> WELL I THINK I'D BE MOST
CONCERNED -- MOST PEOPLE WANT TO
KNOW WHAT THAT GLAND IS.
>> OKAY.
APPENDIX.
97 OUT 100 DOCTORS TELL YOU THAT
YOU NEED TO TO HAVE YOUR
APPENDIX OUT BECAUSE IT'S
INFLAMED AND YOU FOUND THREE
DOCTORS SOMEWHERE THAT TELL YOU,
NO, IT'S NOT INFLAMED YOU'RE
FINE.
THAT'S A CONSPIRACY OF APPENDIX
DOCTORS, YOU LOVE.
>> IT SOUNDS LAUGHABLE, IT DOES.
>> RIGHT.
SO THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IS
OVERWHELMING.
WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THE FOSSIL
FUEL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL IN INTRODUCING THE
IDEA TO THE PUBLIC, TO US, THAT
3% -- PLUS OR MINUS 3% OR IS
SAME AS PLUS OR MIEP US 100%.
THAT'S WRONG.
>> SPEAKING OF GETTING TO WORK
ON THE MANY, HOW IS IT WE GO
ABOUT HOLDING GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS OR PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO
ACCOUNT TO LOOKING AT
EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY WHEN WE
RIGHT NOW HAVE A FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AT LEAST THAT SEEMS
TO BE VERY RESISTANT, IF NOT
OUTRIGHT DENYING OF THE
POLICIES?
>> YEAHING WITH BILL NYE, WHAT'S
WRONG?
WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS, BILL NYE?
WELL, MY RESPONSE IS I HAVE BEEN
SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR A
LONG TIME.
WHAT I TELL EVERYBODY IS VOTE.
WHAT HAPPENED AT STONEMAN
DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL IN FLORIDA
IS VERY TROUBLING.
BUT YOU LOOK AT THE ACTIVISM
THAT IT IMBUED IN THOSE
STUDENTS.
THEY ARE OUT THERE FIGHTING THE
FIGHT NOW FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS
ABOUT THIS OTHER ISSUE.
>> UM-HUM.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE SAME
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
WHEN THESE PEOPLE COME OF AGE
AND ARE ABLE TO VOTE -- BY THESE
PEOPLE MEANING HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS -- THEY'RE DEMANDING
CHANGES.
AND THE CURRENT BACKWARD OR
WHATEVER YOU CALL IT CLIMATE
CONTRARIEN POINT OF VIEW AT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS GOING
TO GET SWEPT AWAY.
>> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK
ABOUT THE DOOMS DAY CLOCK.
AND HAVE WE GONE TOO FAR OR WILL
THERE BE ENOUGH TIME WHEN THE
YOUNG PEOPLE COME OF AGE AND
BECOME A MAJOR VOTING BLOC CAN
WE CORRECT.
>> WHAT IF I TOLD YOU WE CONWHAT
KWO WOULD DO YOU?
GO BUY ALL THE SUV VEHICLES YOU
COULD FIND, START OPEN FLAMES
EVERYWHERE, AND LEAVE ALL THE
LIGHTS ON AND ALL THE WATER
RUNNING AUTO NIGHT?
NO.
WE WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
IT'S NOT HOW HUMANS OPERATE.
INSTEAD, WE ARE OPTIMISTIC AND
GOING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND
WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT AROUND
AND PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE
FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
LET'S GO.
>> ALL RIGHT THEN.
>> IT'S JUST HUMAN NATURE.
EYE YOU'RE NOT THROWING IN THE
TOWEL.
HAVE WE REACHED A TIPPING POINT
WHERE IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS SUCH A
THING.
>> FOR LAST PEOPLE PEOPLE AT THE
FILM WHAT IS THE FEELING YOU
WANT POEM TO COME AWAY WITH?
IS THIS OPTIMISTIC.
>> YES.
YES SCIENCE IS THE BEST IDEA
HUMANS HAVE EVER HAD.
AND THIS PROCESS OF KNOWING
NATURE ENABLES US TO ACCOMPLISH
EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.
>> ALL RIGHT THEN.
WELL, LISTEN BILL NYE I WANT TO
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> SAME HERE.
>> NOT ONLY OF COURSE FOR THE
FILM THAT'S GOING TO BE ON.
>> EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE
GOING TO WATCH IT.
>> YOU'RE STREAMING.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO DO POV
STREAMING.
>> BUT IN ADDITION TO STREAMING
BILL NIMO I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR WORK AND JOINING US ON
THE PROGRAM.
>> THANK YOU.
LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD!
