Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on climate change

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp-WiNXH6hI

"We are pouring #carbon #dioxide and other #gases into the #atmosphere with hardly any concern for its long term and #global-effects ... the #solutions to these #problems requires a #perspective that embraces the #planet and the #future because we are all in this #greenhouse #together."

Thirty-one years ago, Carl Sagan (host of the original Cosmos television series, think of today's Neil DeGrasse Tyson) spoke on the risks and remedies of global warming and climate change. If you want to have some idea of what we knew and what was recommended at the time, and how many decades we've lost ... Watch and listen.

It's also worth emphasizing that this event was held in North Carolina, at the invitation of the governor of that state, something hard to imagine occurring today.

Though the Republican Party is revealed again as the party of denial opposed to science.

"A #Escrita é talvez a maior das invenções humanas, unindo pessoas que nunca se conheceram, cidadãos de épocas distantes. #Livros rompem as amarras do tempo. Um livro é a prova de que seres humanos são capazes de fazer magia." - Carl Sagan -

The Pale Blue Dot - Le Point Bleu Pâle

Tu n'es pas si important que cela...
https://ytprivate.com/watch?v=bOWa2jvZSzo ou https://youtu.be/bOWa2jvZSzo

Carl Sagan, Le Point bleu Pâle :

Depuis ce poste avancé, la Terre ne semble pas avoir grand intérêt. Mais pour nous c'est très différent‎. Regardez encore ce petit point. C'est ici, c'est notre foyer. C'est nous. Sur lui se trouve tous ceux que vous aimez, tous ceux que vous connaissez, tous ceux dont vous avez entendu parler, tous les êtres #humains qui aient jamais vécu. Toute la somme de nos joies et de nos souffrances, des milliers de religions aux convictions assurées, d'idéologies et de doctrines économiques, tous les chasseurs et cueilleurs, tous les héros et tous les lâches, tous les créateurs et destructeurs de civilisations, tous les rois et tous les paysans, tous les jeunes couples d'amoureux, tous les pères et mères, tous les enfants plein d'espoir, les inventeurs et les explorateurs, tous les professeurs de morale, tous les politiciens corrompus, toutes les "superstars", tous les "guides suprêmes", tous les saints et pécheurs de l'histoire de notre espèce ont vécu ici – sur ce grain de poussière suspendu dans un rayon de soleil.

La Terre est une scène minuscule dans une vaste arène cosmique. Pensez aux rivières de sang versées par tous ces généraux et empereurs afin que, glorieux et triomphants, ils puissent devenir les maitres éphémères d'un petit morceau d'un point.

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
