Bill Nye Plays with Legos to Remind Us to Vote with Climate In Mind
tags
Washington, D.C. – Today, Bill Nye The Science Guy released a new video playing with Legos to encourage people to vote early with the climate in mind this election, the latest in his series for Climate Power’s “Too Hot Not to Vote” campaign. In the video, Bill builds a tiny planet out of Legos to lay out how climate change and its effects – from extreme heat to dangerous floods – are not a “far-off, future, dystopian, sci-fi movie scenario” but are happening right now. He calls on people to vote early “for the party that passed the clean energy plan, investing billions to help us weather the storm.”
This is Bill’s fourth video in his series for the “Too Hot Not to Vote” campaign. See the other three HERE and HERE and HERE. Together with other co-chairs including Rosario Dawson, Jack Schlossberg, and Sophia Bush, and through partnerships like their latest with Dreamville hip hop duo EarthGang, Climate Power is working to educate, mobilize, and register climate voters. As Hurricane Milton threatens Florida, communities across the southeast including Georgia and North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene, and the southwest battles dangerous extreme heat, climate is top of mind for voters. Seven-in-10 likely voters say climate change is important to their choice in the presidential election.

Greetings, Bill Nye, Climate Guy, here!
You may have noticed that climate change isn’t some far-off, future, dystopian, sci-fi movie scenario. It’s happening right now.
It makes normal weather feel warped, psychedelic. It’s… disorienting. This year we set the record for the hottest day ever. Then we did it again the next day!
Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable – it’s killing Americans. Every year droughts, fires, floods, and heat driven storms.
So what can we do about it? Vote.
Vote for the party that passed the clean energy plan, investing billions to help us weather the storm.
