YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhy is Bill Nye optimistic about addressing climate change? As he explains to Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice, part of the solution lies in charging a fee for carbon production, commonly described as a Carbon Tax, and returning the fee to the people. Addressing Ted Cruz’s probable objections, Bill explains an existing, functional model for the plan: the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, in which the state gives citizens a check each year to ensure that Alaskan citizens (like Neil’s wife) benefit from the exploitation of their oil resources. Plus, you’ll find out what the phrase, “High on the hog” really means.
