Everyone's childhood science hero, Bill Nye The Science Guy, is currently in Alberta working on a climate change documentary. And not surprisingly, when Nye went to the tar sands, he thought it was a "depressive" sight.

He added that the hope for the environmental future in Canada could lie in the federal election—although Nye did not endorse any specific party. But he did point out that new views on the environment is what would be most helpful to address these issues, while remaining critical of the Harper government.

"Everybody says they feel like the tipping point's been reached. Everyone we speak with, where enough is enough kind of thing," he said. "But then you have people that are in denial of climate change, who justify all of this extraordinary exploitation to the environment."

"The government in Canada is currently being influenced by the fossil-fuel industry," Nye had told VICE. "Stephen Harper is a controversial guy in the science community because [of] the policies, especially in Western Canada."
