Show some love for Carl Sagan

The man was as close to a prophet you can have in an atheist worldview. He got it - the 'it' that most of us are now learning. And this was the Seventies.

He warned us about Nuclear Winter. He warned us about Global Warming. He warned us about our species huberis. All of these now warnings that we should be heeding now.

And he wasn't perfect - and a prophet of Humanism should be exactly that - not perfect.
