Not only is the water in Georgia rising, but the land is sinking, making marginalized communities susceptible to health and economic disparity — here’s why Bill Nye wants residents to #VoteForScience this year.

Early voting in Georgia has begun, and science is on the ballot. Georgia is among the most at-risk states for flooding as both the water rises and the land sinks; sea levels could rise up to 4 feet over the next century.

Climate change will lead to higher rates of health and economic disparity for marginalized communities. ‘Georgia has a chance to lead the world,’ explains Bill Nye.

‘We can address climate change, address the pandemic, and address civil rights.’

Georgians can request absentee or mail-in ballots through October 30.
