    My point was that Sagan openly taught climate change directly to Congress 40 years ago, so Congress and Americans have no excuse not to know, not that he was anywhere near being the first to propose it. He was known as a teacher/professor to the masses, much more than as a pioneer like Fourrier or Arrhenius. Topic is Sagan and Congress, not necessarily climate change, which I brought up as another way they relate.

      Right you are, if a tad US centric, not sure the topic actually was Sagan and Congress, although Sagan for Sanders might give you some credibility. I suspect we’re on the same general side anyway and the ancientness of the argument helps both…
