As Rolling Stone noted, Nye’s video lays out the key climate contrast in the presidential election: Donald Trump “would make America more reliant on energy sources that are heating up our planet at a catastrophic rate” while Kamala Harris “has supported legislation that will provide billions in fighting the climate crisis.”

Rolling Stone: Bill Nye Backs Kamala Harris: ‘Science Isn’t Partisan. It’s Patriotic’
Climate is on the ballot this election season. The two presidential candidates offer vastly different scenarios for our planet’s future. Scientists have said another term led by Donald Trump, who has shopped his campaign to fossil fuel executives, would make America more reliant on energy sources that are heating up our planet at a catastrophic rate.

With the race to the White House poised to come down to the wire in key battleground states, America’s favorite science guy Bill Nye took to social media to urge Americans to vote for climate and clean energy champions.

Nye’s latest election efforts are part of a collaboration with Climate Power’s Too Hot Not To Vote campaign that aims to educate and motivate voters to choose candidates who support climate and clean energy. The famed activist has publicly endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket and encouraged voters to visit TooHotNotToVote.com where they can check their registration status and learn about different candidates’ climate records.
“The stakes for our planet have never been higher and we must elect leaders who prioritize science and sustainability,” said Nye in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Acknowledging that climate change is happening is essential to our future. In this election, let’s address the urgency of the crisis. Every single vote can drive meaningful change.”
