  1. Ah yes. This is when Carl Sagan and his TAPS crew predicted that the middle east would cool by several degrees due to his "Nuclear Winter" model. Didn't happen, but the political attention that it got paved the way for AGW. Sagan also started the "science = atheism" cult which continues today. I knew some of his students and they assured me he was personally a world class egoist, jerk and prime asshat. Fitting that his heir, Neil deGrasse Tyson is also an asshat.

  2. A friend of mine, a PhD in Theoretical Geochemistry, met Carl Sagan once. She said he was an asshole too.

  4. I was driving through that 31 years ago, had to wipe my windshield with a rag, wipers wouldn't pick up the wet smoke. It left droplets everywhere. "If I can't have it, nobody gets it" was his motto as they shagged ass north.
