The USA emits twice as much greenhouse gases as India despite India having 4x the people. China emits about twice as much as the US, but 4x the people.

(US emissions have been declining for over 2 decades)
Bill Nye doesn't have a private jet nor beachfront property.

Arctic sea ice is reaching all time lows, the Northwest passage didn't exist until 2009. A shit ton of glaciers no longer exist and the glacier at Glacier National Park is shrinking and won't exist anymore by 2030.
The increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is making people dumber
It's never going to be a sudden collapse or anything like that. We're just a frog that's slowly being boiled. Shit is just slowly getting worse.
