It's Monday, May 1st, 2017, and you're listening to Inquiring Minds.

I'm Kishorahari.

Indre will be back next week.

Each week, we bring you a new, in-depth exploration of the space where science, politics, and society collide.

We endeavor to find out what's true, what's left to discover, and why it all matters.

You can find us online at motherjones.com slash inquiring

minds, inquiringshow.tumbler.com or on Twitter and Facebook. And you can subscribe to the show

on iTunes or any other podcasting app. Climate change has dominated science headlines the past few weeks, from the recent marches that brought millions out into the streets, or to the New York Times hiring climate skeptic Brett Stevens to their op-ed team.

One man has been in the center of much of the discussion, Bill Nye. Bill Nye just

launched a new show on Netflix entitled Bill Nye Saves the World, was an honorary co-chair for

the March for Science, and participated in the People's Climate March. Bill has never been one

to shy away from engaging climate deniers in the most public way possible.

Just check out his recent CNN appearance with physicist and climate denier William Happer.

I talked with Bill last year about his approach to communicating climate change and what he hopes will change in the future.

Note, we did conduct this interview last year

before the 2016 presidential election in case that generates any confusion. So with that,

we'll take a short break and be back with my interview with Bill Nye.

Bill Nye, welcome to Inquiring Minds.

It's so good to be here.

So you're the CEO of the Planetary Society.

You're one of our chief science popularizers, defenders of evolution.

But you've settled on climate change as being a big priority.
