Can We Fix Climate Change? | Explorer

We can't really fix climate change. We can mitigate it. We can get to work on it. We can spread it out. We can make things better.

What we got to do is stop burning fossil fuels immediately, as soon as we possibly can. Then there's a strange effect that once we stop burning fossil fuels, the stuff that we put in the air is going to settle out. The world will get warmer because this stuff is reflecting sunlight into space right now. When we stop producing it, the world's gonna get warmer from that too. So we just got to be ready for it.

We got to have ways to provide clean water for everybody and ways to store electricity that we generate renewably. And to your deniers out there: would you cut it out? We got stuff to do. We got solutions to come up with.

We got energy to distribute. We got clean water to create. We got things to do. I hope you become like the people who quit smoking. There's no more raving anti-smoker than somebody who quit smoking recently.

So why don't you deniers accept it? Deniers, quit denying, and we can all get to work and change the world.
