The End Is Nye

I really miss the "old" Bill Nye of the PBS era, where he taught science in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner without political spin. Alas, this Bill Nye has been gone for some time now.

This is more of the preachy "we're all doomed if we don't change" Bill Nye that we've seen from his recent Netflix specials. I guess that this show is OK if you like that kind of thing, but I'd imagine that most people are sick of hearing that the sky is falling by now. I know that I am.

I'm hopeful that future episodes will be more educational and less activist. Based on the first episode, anyway, this is a show that only Greta Thunberg would love.

Really entertaining and informative series presented in a clear, informative and engaging manner. Mr. Nye does an excellent job. Of course every user review section has the usual suspects who are typical right wing deniers. Ignore them and cross check the show's content with FACTS and EVIDENCE that support the content. The creators of this excellent show aren't making up the urgency of man made global warming. The other natural phenomena, which we may have no control over, are things to ponder indeed and, according to Nye, may be mitigating actions we can institute to survive. As Nye eloquently points out the conditions we, as the human occupants of this planet, can correct and modify are real and should be undertaken if we are to be responsible stewards of this planet...and have a planet for our descendants to flourish.

Really loved this show! The simulations are cheesy and full on corny at times, but shows some very cool things!! It's not junk science or propaganda, or "woke" garbage or anything like that, it's entertaining and the science is sound and cool! We need to change our society or we are doomed!! Edutainment at its best as always with Bill Nye, and probably the best thing to come from Seth Macfarlane for a very long time!! Need more of this show, and maybe even touch on man made possible endings!! I don't get the people who left bad reviews on here, they obviously did not watch this show at all!! It is a must watch for any science lover!

A lot of the disaster scenarios that you discuss involve earthquakes. Please note that the Richter Scale became obsolete in the 1970's. It gives unreliable results above a 6.0. The currently used scale is the Moment Magnitude Scale.

Even though the popular press likes to throw around the term "Richer Scale" concerning earthquakes, remember these people are generally uneducated in science and too lazy to check their facts. Quite frankly, old boy, I expected better from you and I'm not a Geophysics expert either.

Remember there are a lot of us "baby boomers" out there who studied a lot of really hard science in the 60's and 70's and mistakes like these stick out like a sore thumb and undercut your believability.

I'm from the Mr. Wizard generation, so never watched Bill Nye the Science Guy program.

I was taught the history and science of previous natural disasters. My parents , both living in the plains during the dustbowl/depression days. Told their experience of that time period. Dad always planted a garden to help sustain our food supply.

Now I'm watching an update of history, plus positive answers to stop them.

Definitely recommend to everyone. Take away whatever. Just view with an open mind and a curiosity to stop natural disasters.

Prevention is always cheaper than catastrophe. At what point do we have to reach before we listen and act?
