Bill Nye: There Has Not Been a 9/11 with Respect to Climate Change Because It’s Happening in Slow Motion

EXCERPT:

NYE: "Well, what it means is we need to curtail our use of fossil fuels and putting carbon oxide, methane, in the atmosphere. And we need to do it as soon as we can. And I hearken all the time to a war where everybody gets motivated very quickly. There has not been a 9/11 or a Pearl Harbor with respect to climate change because it happens, it‘s happening in slow motion. And so, sooner or later, everybody, all of these events will be connected to climate change by computer modeling. It‘s been straightforward to connect the extreme, extreme events, but now these sort of regular extreme events are going to be connected and we can get to work. The newest research indicates that there will not be — there is not a tipping point, there is not a point of no return. Rather, it‘s things just getting worse and worse, the way they are right now, this summer.”
