  1. Bill Nye _ Unstoppable: Harnessing

    We can become a great generation that leaves our world-our home-in better shape than it is now while raising the quality of life for people everywhere. This will not be easy. We've already loaded the atmosphere with enough heat-trapping gases of various kinds to cause our planet to keep warming for many, many years to come. But the situation is far from hopeless.

  2. Bill Nye _ Unstoppable: Harnessing

    Because methane is so powerful as a greenhouse gas, let's phase it out as fast as we practically can, while we absolutely stop burning coal. It's everything-all-at-once time. Coal, gas, oil … ultimately, they all have to go. The real key for the Next Great Generation will be to build a society that doesn't need natural gas or fossil fuels of any kind at all."

  3. Bill Nye _ Unstoppable: Harnessing

    We can be a lot smarter and more capable than a lot of the technology doubters and climate deniers assume. The people who dismiss concerns about global warming seem to be the pessimists who would rather give up than own up to the problems we have all created. The people who worry most about what we are doing to the planet are the optimists who believe we also have the intelligence-we, as a species, working together-to come up with powerful solutions to the problems we're working on that will change the world for the better. Which way of looking at the world is going to produce a Next Greatest Generation? Will it be the ones who give up, or the ones who get going?

    More than five hundred people have flown in space and twelve people have walked on the moon, but only three humans in history have been to the bottom of the ocean.

  5. Bill Nye _ Unstoppable: Harnessing

    so long as we each focus only on our individual decisions and their short-term consequences, we will act like renters, not owners of this Earth.
