Understanding Agriculture's Impact on Climate Change

Batman questions Bill Nye about the lack of media attention on agriculture's role in global warming compared to oil companies. Bill Nye explains that agriculture, particularly cow methane emissions, is receiving attention. He discusses the challenges of changing long-standing practices and the potential shift towards plant-based diets due to population growth. Nye suggests implementing fees on greenhouse gas production to influence consumer behavior, but acknowledges the difficulty due to industry resistance. He concludes by encouraging thoughtful consideration of agriculture's environmental impact.
