Carl Sagan was a brilliant guy. Just like the scientists of today are as well.
Mr. Sagan passed away in 1996 looking at static data that doesn't apply to today. It was the same thing I've been saying: the data didn't take into account the Earth's ability to adapt. So scientists created computer models that extrapolated into the future with data that isn't correct.
Sagan theorized in the 1970's that CO2 could possibly cause global warming. Keep in mind that Carl Sagan was a professor of astronomy. Doesn't mean he wasn't plenty smart and able to look at something like CO2 and the atmosphere and make credible statements.
But he did have a habit of kind of over-dramatizing things. For instance, he famously predicted during the first gulf war that if Sadaam Hussein set the oil on fire it would put so much soot into the air that the earth would enter a "Nuclear Winter".
Obviously...that did not happen.
Just like when scientists predicted both an Ice Age AND global warming that would have the coastal cities underwater by the year 2000.
Didn't happen.
