Science can be entertaining. If we are forward thinking and not get stuck in the past we can thrive, become profitable, and help the world. Yes, invest in future science. Because denying facts only leads to being stuck in a narrow existence of unsustainable acts. For example combustion engines will be collector's items for you grandkids, the same way horse and buggy transportation was for your great grandparents. As science takes us back into space on vehicles and machines are needed on the moon and Mars, electric engines or alternative power sources are the only option. Without an atmosphere, a combustion engine will not work.
This show gave me ideas for future investments in myself and businesses.

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?

This documentation of hypothetical disasters is a must. Not just a "give it a try" for entertainment purposes.
It's a serious warning about underestimated threats. While Bill Nye presents these scenarios entertainingly, this does not diminish the seriousness of the dangers he explores.
Take just one realistic example: the "Global Blackout" caused by a super solar flare. Such solar flares happened countless times already. These are called Myake-Events and they occur more than once in a millennium. The big difference nowadays would be the destruction of semiconductors. The last Miyake Event happened in the 19th century and semiconductors hadn't been invented yet, therefore the damage to humanity was limited. It was a shock, but minor damage has been done. Nowadays, such an event would be a global disaster. It could throw the human race back into the Stone Age, causing a complete breakdown of all infrastructure and societal collapse with anarchy taking over. Calling the police would be impossible. In such a world, something as simple as a bottle of water could become a reason to kill.
It is a fact, that it will happen, the only open question is: WHEN? Once in a millennium on average. But the next time would be the most dangerous Miyake Event since mankind has put its fate in the hands of semiconductors. If this isn't concerning to you, I don't k ow what would.
Rebuilding our world to its current state could take centuries perhaps longer, as we have zero experience with such a strike against humanity.

I love science, I love Bill Nye. What's not to like?
This show is about the upcoming, and possible challenges, and disasters we might face. Will face if we don't act on them soon. While educating people about them, it offers good science without bothering with details too much. At the same time offering solutions to each of those upcoming problems.
The construct of the show is very entertaining, and Bill Nye is charismatic as the host.
Bill Nye is a great science communicator, he has charisma, and educates people, whilst you are being entertained.
I have seen all of Bill Nye's shows, except for the 'Science Guy', so far I have enjoyed each and every single one of them.

At First i thought Nye who? Then i watched the Trailer
and thought looks entertaining. So i started to google/search about the Show and found Seth MacFarlane has his Fingers in it which is a Plus in my Book.
Informations about Bill Nye,for me a unkown Person because i live in different Country(Europe,hihihi), was also interesting: Nye worked as an engineer for the Boeing Corporation and Sundstrand Data Control near Seattle. At Boeing, he invented a Hydraulic Resonance Suppressor Tube used on Boeing 747 airplanes. He applied four times, unsuccessfully, for NASA's astronaut training program.
SO he was/is a legit Engineer at least it seems so(plus one INVENTION),but made a career-change into Comedy later in his life.👍
Damn i thought to myself,give´em a Try for Sure.
And not surprisingly it is very entertaining.
