Global warming is the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels. These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations.
Climate model projections are summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They indicate that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 2.9 °C (2 to 5.2 °F) for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.4 to 6.4 °C (4.3 to 11.5 °F) for their highest. The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.
William Sanford "Bill" Nye (born November 27, 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, mechanical engineer, and scientist. He is best known as the host of the Disney/PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998) and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator.
William Sanford Nye was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Jacqueline (née Jenkins; c. 1920–2000), a codebreaker during World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (died 1997), also a World War II veteran whose experience in a Japanese prisoner of war camp led him to become a sundial enthusiast. Nye is a fourth-generation Washington, D.C. resident on his father's side of the family. After attending Lafayette Elementary and Alice Deal Junior High in the city, he was accepted to the private Sidwell Friends School on a partial scholarship, graduating in 1973. He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University, where one of his professors was Carl Sagan, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1977. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by The Johns Hopkins University in May 2008. In May 2011, Nye was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Willamette University where he was the keynote speaker for that year's commencement exercises.
George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, actor and writer/author, who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
The first of his fourteen stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. In 1988, the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's routines focused on socio-cultural criticism of modern American society. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death.

Waiting his clock to strike (whistle)

We shut down Times Square, extra extra read all about it
New year, it’s our year, to be clear, we here
Immigrant parents but I’m living the American dream for them now
It’s it’s it’s about to go down
This is for Eddie, Bobby, Rudy, Johnny
Up in the sky drinking poly loddy doddy
I don’t need a Maybach or Buggati
Couple of beds and some sheets, that’s a party
Go DJ, blow the speakers
All my women wear heels, no sneakers
Grim reaper, the night is mine
Meet me at 11:59
Everybody rise
I wanna make a toast to me tonight

And I can’t wait til the clock strikes 12
So I can jump jump jump jump jump jump

I want everybody to put their glasses in the air right now
And now that you got em up
Not let’s make a toast
Put em higher now, get em so much higher for me
Not let’s make a toast
Reach for the sky right now for it’s so much higher than me
Everybody rise
I wanna make a toast to me tonight
It’s 11:59
And I can’t wait til the clock strikes 12
So I can jump jump jump jump jump jump
I just wanna jump jump jump jump jump jump
Everybody jump jump jump jump jump jump
I just wanna jump jump jump jump jump jump

Few care about environment in the USA
Propaganda controls,
Pollutants in the atmosphere,
Malathion in our air
Mutant race developing,
Hypodermic sewage on shorelines,
Oil spills in the sea
Marine life disappears,
Extermination we contend,
Vanishing life we see
Reality's nightmare,
Environment litigations,
Hazardous contamination
Lost cause situation,
Power plants pump the waste,
Dump sites overwhelm
Wildlife deteriorating.
Cars polluting/All our air/
Smog fills / Our lungs to hell
Politicians/Don't really care/
End this crisis
They never will.
Rapid pollution of the sea
Sewage falling out of greed
Global warming! Nationwide situation
Harmful waste! Nuclear cultivation
Garbage overflows...
...From land to shining sea
We deserve what we create,
In the Land of the Free
Toxic waste, generation harvest
Carbon dioxide in the air
That we breathe
In the air that we breathe!
Lead: DF
Global warming! Nationwide situation
Harmful waste! Nuclear cultivation
Nitrogen oxide, cancerous affliction
We deserve what we create
In the Land of the Free
Ultra violet/Radiation/
Groundwater/Contamination
Oil refineries/ Spew the carbons/
Lung damage
Ozone depletion!
Global warming...
...Making profits all they care
Global warming...
...Clean air act is not enough
Four hundred thousend years ago
They came from outer space
And gave us life here
We are taking everything for granted
I don't think we should do this now
And when I see the smoke all around
I feel like I'm now
From humankind down there
I feel like glaciers are my eyes
And mountains are my head
My heart is ocean
And I feel all alone
Because everybody's wrong
I feel the living
What is this thing that we call hate
And that's inside of me
Get out of here!
A world is down
And none can rebuild it
Disabled lands are evolving
My eyes are shut, a vision is dying
My head explodes
And I fall in disgrace
I hold my inner child within
And tell him not to cry
"don't fear the living"
One day you will stand as a king
And now fear can erase
This light below us
Each one of us is now engaged
This secret we all have
This truth is growing
And as a warrior I have to fight
I can already feel
The love I'll discover
I had this dream, our planet surviving
The guiding stars always growing
And all the worlds
The fates all the countries
They're all rebuilding at the same time
I never fell and always believed in
We could evolve and get older
Open your eyes and let all this flow
Now see a now hope is growing inside
So what can I do for you?
You say You'd like your soul saved
Suddenly you believe in me
Now that we're standing face to face
I didn't give you a fair chance
With My precarious human race
You were fair game
Farce human test
It took you so long boy'
You (or I) figured why waste your (or My) breath
What took you so long boy
... is you just never asked...
Who in the world pushed you
So down that you couldn't get up?
Who in the world buried you
So deep that you couldn't dig out?
Who in the world told you
That you'll never... wake up?
Who in the world killed you?
Who in the world killed you?
Please Jesus please!!
Oh God... not You too
This has got to be a nightmare
Because I expect only love
From You...
Everybody's abandoned me
I'm just a lonely lonely lad
... And You're the only real friend
This boy ever had...
