BILL NYE: Well, as you may know, I had first-- I fought this for 30 years, trying to get people to accept the science of climate change. I offered four bets to two notorious climate deniers. I offered them $10,000 that 2016 would be the hottest year on record, 2010-2020 would be the hottest decade on record. Neither one of them would take either of the bets. I had $40,000 right there. They wouldn't take the bets, because I think they're scared.
We're all frightened. This thing is overwhelming. And if you don't believe me, look-- there have been these studies lately, worldwide people are having fewer and fewer children. That's because women and men are a little reticent to bring a kid into the world where the world's on fire.
So everybody is-- we're in this together. We've got to fight this fight together. I'm scared too. So let's get to work. Clean water, renewable energy, access to the internet for everybody and we can change the world.
