Environment

Here’s the Video of Bill Nye ‘Singing’ About ‘Our Biggest Challenge’ Climate Change

Sep. 17, 2012 12:55pm Liz Klimas

The TV science star Bill Nye — also identifiable as “Billy Nye the science guy” — has been in the news lately for his evolutionist views bashing creationist beliefs, and he is now being featured in another controversial topic: climate change.

Along with words spoken by David Attenborough, a well-known British nature documentarian, and scientists Richard Alley and Isaac Asimov, the song “Our Greatest Challenge” remixes their comments regarding the environment in what is described as “a musical investigation into the causes and effects of global climate change and our opportunities to use science to offset it.”

Symphony of Science Remixes Words of Bill Nye, David Attenborough and Others Into Climate Change Music Video

Geologist Richard Alley (Image: YouTube screenshot)

Biochemist Isaac Asimov also well-known for writing science fiction and his non-fiction "Our Angry Earth," regarding climate change and the ozone. (Image: YouTube screenshot)

Take a listen:

The refrain of the song is goes:

The evidence is clear.

The globe is getting too warm.

We can avoid climate catastrophes.

We can do this.

We can change the world.

Science offers us answers to these huge challenges.

It’s one global ecosystem.

We can do this.

We can change the world.

The song is the sixteenth in a series called Symphony of Science by YouTube user melodysheep. According to the YouTube description, information for “Our Greatest Challenge” comes from the following sources:

- Are We Changing Planet Earth?
- Bill Nye – Climate
- Eyes of Nye – Climate Change
- Earth: The Operator’s Manual
- An Inconvenient Truth
- Hot Planet
- How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth
- Human Planet

Symphony of Science is the project of John Boswell whose hope is that it delivers “scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form.” Boswell creates the music videos in the series by “remixing and tuning spoken word” with electronic music and pairs it with footage along the same lines. He calls this “unorthodox in the context of other science-themed music” but believes the final project is “inspiring, humbling, and of course humorous.”

  I don’t understand your analogy.
  
  Scientists have given us the answer, it’s in the video! Did you even watch it?
  
  @MUFFYTHETUFFY
  If I may quote Neil deGrasse Tyson,
  I’m often asked whether I believe in Global Warming. I now just reply with the question: “Do you believe in Gravity?”
  
  No one believes in it because it’s an accepted fact. It’s hard to “believe” in something so tangible.
  
  And Bill Nye didn’t even make the video so I don’t understand why you’re taking beef with him.

  @Votenbush, why is it no one is talking about CO2 in this record breaking summer heat? Could it be because the CO2 levels are down? Not just down but at a 20 year low. Yet, it’s been record breaking summer. Could it be because of extraordinary solar flares?
  
  Sounds like it’s time to pick another scapegoat to further your crackpot theory. What will it be next? From the coming ice age of the 70′s to global warming in 2000′s to climate change (since nothing really fits your theory) in 2010′s…maybe it’s just time for you to go away.
  
  I think science does have the answers. It’s your hypothesis that is wrong.

Where is the truth? Why isn’t our side standing against this? This is the kind of propaganda that keeps the sheeple in line. In California we are facing the devastating effects on our economy of Cap & Trade and GHG Emissions Control. It is forcing us in to high density housing long mass transit corridors, all mandated by the State. Yet China continues to pollute and no one mentions that. It’s time Conservatives got off their collective asses and started to challenge this stuff. Let’s not cede the field to the Global Warming activists and Al Gore.

  Verce,
  The truth is CO2 have dropped in from 2006-2012 and yet this year was one of the warmeest since 1934. So if co2 have dropped and the temperature rises that means……?
  Co2 levels might be the cause and thus the whole man made climate change science is bunk.
  Here a clue to Bill Nye and the rest of the we know what best for everyone else but us crowd…..there a giant space heater in the center of our galaxy that form time to time fluxuates and erupts…..you do the math

  The reason they can not provide proof is because their proof is flawed. They say that the CO2 rises and in turn causes the Earth to get hotter, but in all actuality the Earth gets hotter and the Earth holds more CO2.
  
  There are pockets in the atmosphere that hold and release gases. The hotter the Earth gets the more CO2 it stores. This causes the air to be more dense, which helps the Earth cool down from the Sun. When there is less heat from the Sun the Earth releases more CO2 and in turn makes the air less dense. CO2 is basically the Earth’s regulator.
  
  CO2 does not make the Earth warmer. The Earth getting warmer causes more CO2.

  As a scientist with a scientific degree (for what it’s worth), I naturally have no problem with science… It’s the “scientists” I’ve got a problem with, specifically, the ones who exhibit the following behavior: 1. Such “scientists” preemptively draw conclusions and then selectively use data to support that conclusion. 2. They refuse to observe objectively or accept any new data that does not support their hypothesis. 3. They often (but not always) ridicule and marginalize other scientists or even laymen whose often valid conclusions contradict their own.
  
  Scientific method demands an unbiased, objective approach, drawing conclusions only from that which is observed and can be proven. It’s also worth noting that it is far easier to disprove something than it is to prove it. (Which is why anthropogenic climate change is still a theory, no matter how legitimate it may well be) If some scientists observe _all_ data and evidence objectively, including all forthcoming evidence, and genuinely observe that anthropogenic climate change is the most logical conclusion, then so be it. Nonetheless, these scientists have no right to ridicule others whose hypotheses differ, as these opposing conclusions may be just as valid so long as they may be scientifically defended. Such ridicule undermines the pursuit of legitimate science in favor of officially sanctioned, often dogmatic conjecture.

  What you just said is akin to “On Sunday they said we were heading towards Friday, now it’s Monday and they are telling us tomorrow Tuesday! Which is it?”
  
  It’s BOTH.
  
  Let me give you a play by play.
  
  1) The earth heats up
  2) The ice caps melt
  3) The melted water raises the oceans and cools them
  4) The now cooler oceans stop the Oceanic Currents (which rely on the water temperature difference to cycle the globe, this is called Thermohaline circulation [thanks Wikipedia]).
  5) This prevents warm water from migrating north from the equator and prevents the cold water from traveling south.
  6) This plunges North America and Northern Europe & Asia into an ice age while the once tropical locations around the equator experience the worst drought in modern times.
  
  Get it!? You can no longer claim ignorance as your excuse.

  @ICANCOMMENT
  I actually agree with you. Differing opinions should be heard and debated (regardless of which side they differ from).
  
  However, I must say this. Whether climate change is real or not (I think it is, as do many scientists), one thing that is not contested is the notion that burning fossil fuels is unsustainable. Once you accept that (as you should given the empirical evidence known as the diminishing oil supply) you are left with the only alternative being the pursuit of green energy.
  
  So, climate change or not, we should be pursuing green alternatives SIMPLY for sustainability sake.

What a pile of sheeite muslin.

The Earth has been warming and cooling for billions and billions (love ya, Carl) of years.

That’s what it does.

Three basic things about global warming:

1 – Everything geophysical occurs in myriad cycles, or periodocities. The cycles are all very different in length, yet they all intricately relate to each other in a near-insolubly complex equation. Some convergences warm the planet, some cool it. You won’t notice a difference either way in your lifetime.

2 – Earth has incredible healing powers to right various cyclical extremes, or we wouldn’t be here.

3 – Do you really think she’s going down on her knees before YOU and your minivan (you insignificant amoeba)?

Now, if we’re talking those nasty chemtrails designed to manipulate the weather and such, well, now you really do have a problem, but that’s not your goat pooting, or your dog illegally exhaling.

Chemtrails, which contain heavy metals, among other toxic substances, ultimately WILL destroy the planetary flora’s ability to propagate, and then we are in some deep doo-doo.

Where is “Occupy” for that???

  My thoughts exactly. In the scientific world, everyone has an opinion. When “scientists” (especially political scientists) aggressively try to shut down contradicting scientific opinions, it indicates that they’re not probably not really scientists, since they’re not behaving in a manner supporting scientific method.

Did y’all know that according to HADCRUT3, CRUTEM4, RSS, UAH global temp anomaly databases that there hasn’t been ANY global warming trend in 15 YEARS? That it was just announced Antarctic ice is GROWING by 49 Gigatons/yr (2003-2008)? That the pace of sea level rise is FALLING? That we’re in the lowest solar cycle in 100yrs and the next solar cycle #25 will be the weakest since 1715 and that the last time we had a solar cycle this low, global temps plummeted? Or how about the fact that the solar cycles between 1930-1996 were the strongest 70-yr string in 11,400 yrs. how about the fact that actual global temps (UAH and RSS) are roughly 500% lower than Hansen’s famous 1988 projections for 2012? I thought this was “settled science” and the debate was over… LOL!

ROTFL – too funny! Last time I heard about Bill Nye was from my sister-in-law. You know those warming trays used for buffet functions with the flame under them? Typically you put water in the pan and the food tray on that. She claimed that it doesn’t matter if you put cold or hot water in them, they will heat up just as fast… and she got this hair brained idea from Bill Nye!! Now, I am not a highly paid TV scientist… but I do have a PhD in Chemical Engineering so I know a little bit about heat transfer… And of course you don’t need to be a genius to know that if you put HOT water in the tray it will be HOT faster (DUH, it’s already hot!!)

I couldn’t convince my LIBERAL sister-in-law of the obviousness of her error…

BECAUSE LIBERALS ARE THAT DUMB!!

When climate deniers understand the evidence against their arguments, when they understand the limits of their own knowledge, when they understand sound reasoning, when they can win a consensus among climate scientists, when they don’t subscribe to a theory about a vast global conspiracy among climate scientists to fleece the governments of the world, when they can pose a better explanation for the existing climate observations than anthropogenic warming, when they understand that “the climate warmed in the past” is not a valid explanation for current warming but a fallacious appeal to history…

then I’ll listen.

If the deniers turn out to be correct, it will only be because luckily pulled the right answers out of their butts. Most of them have no real methodology other than a confidence in their own ignorant assertions.

We are trying to get rid of the “hope and change” climate without going to some change that is always happening and has happened long before these so called experts were around. Most of us have always done something that we thought helped would not clutter up our space. We used to dry clothes outside so how many are doing that? We used to use no water to flush toilets since they were outside so how many are still doing that. We used to take our own garbage out to landfills so how many are doing that. IT IS ALWAYS MORE SELF SATISFYING TO TELL OTHERS WHAT TO DO THEN TO DO OURSELVES (so they think).

  WVwernon1981 Analysing Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, CO2 can only absorb a very smal fraction of IR photons around the 15 micron frequency range and is only in concentrations of 390ppm. Water vapor absorbs almost the ENTIRE IR frequency spectrum and is in concentrations of around 20,000ppm….. You do the math.. Moreover, since CO2′s absorb frequency is so tiny, this frequency soon gets overwhelmed, so the greenhouse gas effect of CO2 is logarithmic. Past 540ppm, any additional CO2 has virtually no GHE…

  WVERNON1981 the current warming cycle was primarily caused by the strongest string of solar cycles in 11,400 years (1930-1996). CO2 had almost nothing to do with it. Strong solar cycles cause an increase of the solar winds, which block Galctic cosmic rays from hitting the troposhere. Reduced GCRs reduce the nucleation of inorganic atmospheric compounds, thus reducing cloud seed formation and cloud cover. It’s this reduction in cloud cover that allows more solar energy to hit the Earth and warm the planet. The reverse happens during weak solar cycles, which leads to more cloud cover and cooling global temps.

  WVERNON1981 the IPCC modelers are well aware of the physics I described. We’re they to actually incorporate these realities into their models, use the actual known radiative forcing effect of CO2 (3.7 watts/M^2), and adjust cloud cover (albedo) accordingly, and in the Svensmark they’d have such a low temp anomaly, CAGW would be invalidated and they’d all be out of jobs….. Now, the scoundrels are simply “readjusting” temps and adding “new and improved” algorithms to make past temps colder and current temps warmer in an effort to make the “empirical evidence” match their theory, rather than the other way around. I hate to tell ya, but CAGW theory is now completely invalidated. Once global temps start to cool from around 2015 from the effects of weak solar cycles, the gig is up… I suspect the next hoax will be Anthropogenic Global COOLING, which they will falsely attribute to fossil fuel particulates. I’m not kidding…..

  When I say I am a non-expert and defer to the expert consensus, it is because I don’t have a decade or more experience in the science. I doubt you do either. However, I do put a bit of weight to what Samurai is saying because he/she seems to be using higher order objections to CO2 as the driver of warming than most of you who either parrot each others weak arguments or pull reasons out of your butts. As a non-expert, I don’t know enough at this point to evaluate how Samurai’s claims fit into the science other than what he says. I’m. It competent enough to make reasonable objections to Samurai’s arguments. Therefore, I still have to go with the consensus of climate scientists. If the consensus changes, then I’ll accept whatever it might be.

  Vernon Science has NEVER and will never be validated by consensus. The ONLY measure of true science is whether the theory describes and is confirmed by empirical evidence. If the empirical evidence matches hypothetical projections, the theory is validated. However, if empirical results don’t match predictions, the theory is invalidated, regardless of how many scientist believe a theory may be true. It’s now painfully obvious that CAGW projections don’t come close to matching actual global temp anomalies, so the theory has been invalidated.
  
  There has been NO warming trend in 15 yrs, which is in direct conflict to CAGW theory. It really is junk science and should have been trashed 10 yrs ago.

The evidence is so clear…
To those who hear…

Bill Nye…
Science Guy…
Spins the lie…
Of the UN oh my…

So why…
Do I…

LAUGH MY BLOODY HEAD OFF AT HIS FARCICAL EFFORTS!

A twenty one flatulance salute to Bill Nye and his efforts to spread the lies of global warming again.

I imagine Iran setting off nuclear bombs will cause more heat than CO2

  If they could set off 400,000 Hiroshima sized bombs each day, then yes, they could.
  
  “Little Boy (Hiroshima bomb) ~ 63 x 10**12 joules
  1 bomb/day = 63 x 10**12 joules/day ~ 7.3 x 10**8 joules/s (watts)
  (86,400 sec/day)
  Area Earth = 5.1 x 10**14 square meters
  current energy imbalance = 0.6 watts/m2 x 5.1 x 10**14 m2 = 3 x 10**14 watts
  ratio = (3 x 10**14)/(7.3 x 10**8) = 400,000 Hiros
  if a Hiro is defined as one bomb per day”
  (calculation borrowed from Dan Miller in the comments section in http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/03/08/440396/james-hansen-ted-talk-co2-10-years-is-too-late/)

What an idiot, everybody knows that Muslims burning American embassies and their own infrastructure’s is the reason for global warming.

Look at the pictures, then ask yourself why we give this guy any time.

Let’s tackle tangible pollution first and then discuss “climate change,” formally known as “Global Warming,” formally known as “Global Cooling.”

BTW Bill,
Stealing from US taxpayers to pay third world countries doesn’t change the temperature of the earth.
