In the first episode Bill Nye complains about the media over emphasizing disasters,and then does the exact same thing. In the volcano episode he ,as he does in every episode, blames the government for not listening to the scientists. Also makes sure that the disaster is caused by some misdeed of man. Hey Bill, the super-volcano can and will erupt even if man wasn't on earth, just like it has in the past. He suggests the government was slow to evacuate people. Where exactly would you like to evacuate? The scientist he speaks about in the episode have said that an eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano could easily be a planet killing event. So you want 150 million people (everything to the east of Yellowstone) to evacuate to???? But some thing we're very accurate...a large portion will be destroyed immediately, the largest food producing area in the world will most likely be unusable, and there most likely be a volcanic winter, all of which will mostly likely kill off the majority of life. There is NOTHING anyone can do to stop it. Then to be as hipocritical as possible, he uses the supposed cause of the volcano, drilling, to propose a preventative measure of drilling for thermal power. This is every episode in a nutshell. Blame the government and big business, the lack of listening to scientists, and then propose grandiose ideas that will work flawlessly, all controlled by the government and people he say don't do the right thing in the first place. And he wants to know why people don't listen or believe scientists. The real tragedy is the people who think he is giving real factual information and his proposals are actually real and not fantasy.
