More than 35 years ago #CarlSagan made this statement before US Congress on #ClimateChange. Apart from some details it remains accurate. CO2 and other #GreenhouseGasses are still emitted on a large scale because #FossilFuels remain in widespread use.
Sagan mentions both #renewables and #fission based #NuclearPower as ways to reduce emissions and delay/stop climate change. I think he knew what he was talking about.
@dynode that's an amazing video. thanks for sharing.
@herid Sagan was kind of a visionary on a couple of subjects IMO. He predicted the devolution and dumbing down of society, criticised the nuclear arms race, warned us about climate change and fossil fuels use.
He was also a great scientist and science communicator. He was instrumental in exploring Mars and the rest of the solar system.
He promoted science but had a gift of translating it into a spiritual message.
