Bill Nye spent much of the 1990s teaching children about science. “Nowadays,” he says in the first trailer for the upcoming documentary, Bill Nye: Science Guy, “I’m talking to adults.”
It’s true. These days, you mostly see Nye on cable news shows explaining scientific topics with hosts, marching with thousands in Washington, DC to remind our lawmakers about the importance of science, and hosting a Netflix show geared toward older audiences. In the trailer, Nye even shares wine with climate change denier Joe Bastardi.
As documentary guest star Neil deGrasse Tyson puts it, Nye has journeyed from “Bill Nye the Science Guy” to “the Science Statesman.”
“When we learned that Bill Nye was doing something new—working outside of the classroom to champion science and space exploration and helping lead the fight against climate change, we knew we had to make this documentary,” directors David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg said in a joint press release.
Nye, who is outspoken about global warming and its impact on humanity, declares in the trailer, “Climate change is happening, it’s our fault and we’ve got to get to work on this.”
The documentary also captures the launching of the solar-powered LightSail, a project of the Planetary Society—the world’s largest non-profit space interest group where Nye is CEO.
