In the war against climate change, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Bill Nye the Science Guy might just be the world's last hope.

Joining forces in a Facebook video on Monday, the politician and scientist came together to discuss the terrifying effects of the world's rapidly changing climate, and to make the case as to why it's more important than ever that we all do everything possible to reverse it. In particular, Sanders and Nye hoped to convince President Donald Trump - who once falsely claimed that climate change was a "hoax" invented by the Chinese - that switching the country over to a more sustainable infrastructure is not only essential for the survival of our planet, but that it would also be extremely beneficial to the U.S. economy.

"The long-term implications are potentially catastrophic,” Nye said. "It is reasonable to me that, if we can show an economic benefit to turning things around, we can turn things around."
