Quote

"By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another four to eight degrees," Nye says, losing his patience. "What I'm saying is the planet is on fucking fire," he says while taking a torch to a globe.

"There are a lot of things we could do to put it out. Are any of them free? No, of course not. Nothing's free, you idiots. Grow the fuck up. You're not children anymore. I didn't mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12. But you're adults now, and this is an actual crisis, got it? Safety glasses off, motherfuckers."

Bill Nye, Science Guy on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
