Guest essay by Eric Worrall

US TV personality Bill Nye thinks Climate Change is responsible for the rise of Islamic State. But don’t worry, Nye has the solution – a book of helpful suggestions, of ways in which armchair eco-warriors can deal a deadly blow to this evil threat to public security, by changing how they live their lives.

Bill Nye brought science into kids’ lives and made us laugh. His new book, Unstoppable: Harnessing Science To Change The World, mixes science and his trademark humor to rally a new “Greatest Generation”—ours—to solve a global climate change crisis and ISIS Threat that he believes is more threatening to our survival than World War Two.

It’s strangely a hard thing to talk about because it’s become so political and divisive, and people have a tendency to give up and see it as overwhelming. But I claim that it’s not.
