Bill Nye has had it with flat-Earthers and other science deniers. 

While humanity is landing robots on Mars and breaking open the mysteries of the universe, there continues a social trend of "science denialism." From opposition to handwashing in the 1800s to modern climate deniers, anti-maskers and "flat-Earthers," or people who believe that planet Earth is actually flat ( it is not), "anti-science" movements aren't new, but they are a problem facing us all today, according to Nye..

"The flat-Earthers, the anti-vaxxers, the anti-maskers are not on board with the progress of science. And the thing is, it affects all of us," Nye told Space.com. "When you deny the body of knowledge that's been discovered through the process of science, you're holding all of us back, and this is why it's such an important time."

He added to this reporter: "Chelsea, are you gonna vote? Please vote. My goodness." (Reader — and Bill Nye —  fear not, I am voting.)

"There are people running around in the United States, or in the world, on the electric internet, thinking out loud ... that the Earth might be flat," Nye told Space.com. "What?! It's the 21st century … just that anybody would even joke about it is weird. And so this anti-science movement that we have in the United States, well, in the Western world right now, is bad for everybody."

"That's why I did, or we did, the show the Science Guy show years ago was out of concern for the future of the United States especially," Nye said. 

Nye referenced the importance of a number of science advances including relativity. "Your mobile phone depends on Einstein's theories of both special and general relativity to get the right answer, to get it to work. And

Pop scientist Bill Nye, best known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy” for his iconic ’90s educational television program, urged students to tackle the problems of the 21st century yesterday in an appearance that attracted more than 6,000 to Alumni Arena, including more than 1,500 students from 50 local high schools who received free tickets from UB.

An ardent environmentalist and host of “Stuff Happens” on Discovery’s Planet Green channel, Nye was the final speaker in the 2008-09 Distinguished Speakers Series. His visit coincided with the national celebration of Earth Day.

“Citizens of Buffalo, students, kids of all ages…please consider the following,” he said, echoing a catchphrase from his famous television program. “I want you to change the world.”

Opening with images of Earth as seen from Mars, Nye said that for members of the “space generation”—those born after the launch of Sputnik by the former Soviet Union on Oct. 4, 1957—images of Earth as seen from space are no longer as shocking as they were for his parents’ generation. But he said it’s important not to forget that these images really show us “a whole other world.”

In comparing Earth to Mars, as well as its other neighboring sphere, Venus, Nye dubbed the Earth the “Goldilocks planet,” neither “too hot” for human life, like Venus, nor “too cold,” like Mars.

“But that’s changing,” he added, noting that in just the past few decades, the Earth’s carbon-dioxide levels have risen from approximately 300 parts per million to nearly 400 parts per million.
