We wouldn’t be having this converation today if it wasn’t for Carl Sagan and his refusal to accept the reason Venus is HOT because it is a younger planet. He invented the ‘runaway greenhouse effect’ in a pathetic attempt to explain the temperature of Venus - and we’ve been having the greenhouse effect shoved down our throats ever since...only now it’s called global warming and it suits the criminal control freaks to blame it on us!

Carl Sagan should have been stopped dead in his tracks when he first popped his stupid astronomer head into the subject:

excerpt:

Sagan, a life-long follower of liberalism, became more politically active after marrying leftist Ann Druyan and performed acts of civil disobedience at nuclear weapons sites during the Nuclear Freeze era. He spoke out against President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, or “Star Wars” program, which he felt was technically impossible to build and perfect, far more expensive to create than for an enemy to defeat through decoys and other means, and destabilizing to Cold War nuclear weapons disarmament progress.

Carl Sagan was an avid user of marijuana, although he never publicly admitted it during his life. Under the pseudonym “Mr. X,” he wrote an essay concerning cannabis smoking in the 1971 book Marihuana Reconsidered, whose editor was Lester Grinspoon. In the essay Sagan commented that marijuana encouraged some of his works and enhanced experiences. After Sagan’s death, Grinspoon disclosed this to Sagan’s biographer Keay Davidson. When the biography, entitled Carl Sagan: A Life, was published in 1999, the marijuana exposure stirred some media attention.
