WATCH: Bernie Sanders and Bill Nye chat climate change

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Bill Nye “the science guy” hosted a Facebook live event on Monday morning. The topic: climate change.

“Bill Nye was the reason I fell in love with science,” one viewer wrote. “Bernie Sanders is why I fell in love with politics. #renewableenergynow”

Sanders often tweets against President Trump and other climate changer deniers and calls for Americans to take the issue seriously.

The real “fake news” is Trump and Republicans’ denials of the massive planetary crisis we face today in terms of climate change.
