Hi John, Bill Nye the Science Guy here.
I'm going to explain the complicated logic behind carbon pricing, but first safety glasses on.
When something costs more.
People buy less of it.
Safety glasses off.
That's it.
Okay, safety glasses on. When we release carbon say by burning Coal or driving an SUV.
All of us pay for that in the form of things like-
Fires, Floods, and Crop failures.
Putting a fee on Carbon creates incentives to emit less Carbon.
And more importantly, it also incentivizes the development of Low Carbon Technology.
WHICH IS HUGE.
Because that's vital to reducing emissions globally.
And because for some reason John, you're a 42 year old man who needs his attention sustained with tricks.
Here's some fucking Mentos!
In a bottle of Diet Coke.
Happy now?!
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING
Here. I've got an experiment for you, safety glasses on.
By the end of this century if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on earth could go up another four to eight degrees.
What I'm saying is-
The Planet's on Fucking Fire!
Now there are a lot of things we could do to put it out.
Are any of them free?
No, of course not nothing's free you idiots!
Grow the fuck up. You're not children anymore.
I didn't mind explaining Photosynthesis to you when you were 12.
But you're adults now and this is an actual crisis. Got it?
Safety Glasses off Motherfuckers!
