Back in 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise.

His solution: Fewer government subsidies for fossil fuels and use of renewable energy.

@davidho It blows my mind that we've known for so long and just let fucking capitalism screw us all over.
@denniskoch @davidho Its classic denial. A normal human response to change. (especially when that change disadvantages so many people in power) It doesn't justify anything however, only pushes the fact that the elite are uncaring even to their own future legacies.
