Without an end to the burning of fossil fuels, coal especially, most of us will live shorter lives. I'm hopeful, but very, very concerned.

I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.

There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

One of the drawbacks of English is you can't spell things by hearing them.
Bill Nye
Image
The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
Bill Nye
Image
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.

It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.

The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.
Bill Nye
Image
Promoting a religious agenda that is to apply to every citizen is inconsistent with our laws in the US. It seems to me that your community and mine can live and work together without conflict.

I always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that's because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.

Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.
Bill Nye

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
Bill Nye

If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.

I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.

From an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.

I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
