With more than 28 Emmys and a slew of other prestigious awards, Disney's resident way-cool scientist knows how to get kids fired up about science. Whether you're learning about earth science or engaging in a complex discussion about genetics, Bill Nye's enthusiasm for all things science is contagious. It's easy to see why some people hate storms. They're big, loud, and often accompanied by rain. But without storms to distribute heat, the tropical regions of the Earth would be too hot to inhabit - and the sub polar regions too cold.
