Everybody loves Bill Nye. He’s a collector of fine bow ties, he debates creationists, and now he can add something else to his impressive science-y resume: songwriter.

Bill sat down recently with Steve Aoki at this years Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York. Steve released his Neon Future Odyssey album last month, and Bill Nye just published his new book, Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World. As a scientist, Bill Nye is even more concerned about global warming than your average citizen. He talked about the exponential increase of carbon in the air just in his short lifetime, and what that could mean for future generations.

Bill Nye offered one possible concept to curb global warming: microbubbles. That’s right, little bubbles that are created by the oceans currents can float around for days, and they reflect light and energy from the ocean back into space. That means cooler oceans, a slowing of ice shelfs melting, and possibly a reversal of climate change effects we have already begun to see.

Nye said; “Bubbles persist in the water for hours or days, subtly reflecting more light into space. It’s extraordinary but not crazy to propose a way to manufacture these microbubbles on an industrial scale.”

On stage the two talked about other subjects that will effect us all, such as the potential of the singularity, brain diseases, and creativity. But the coolest thing that Bill Nye did with Steve Aoki while on stage was helping him write a song for his next album. If this song gets made (which we’re hoping it does!) Bill Nye would join the growing list of esteemed minds that have collaborated with Steve Aoki, like Ray Kruzweil, JJ Abrams, and Aubrey de Grey.

Here’s what Nye had to say about the inspiration for his track: “A strange and astonishing but provable fact is that you and I are made of the stuff of the cosmos. We are made of exploded stars and other rogue drifting-around material. Carbon, oxygen, iron—what’s more fun than that? The Noble Gas song would start with exploding super novae, then lead to us. And that means that the fact that you and I are made of stardust is one of the ways that the universe knows itself.”
