I just realized I had totally forgotten what it was like when everyone in congress could manage to shut the hell up for a quarter of an hour until someone was done talking. Listening to Carl while they were doing that was icing on the cake. Miss this guy a lot.

Viewing this video from 40 years ago, I am struck by how the senators are actually listening, quietly, respectfully, paying attention without interrupting Dr. Sagan during this cogent, intelligent remarks. A far cry from the performative nature of government hearings today.
@bencarter3920
This might be the smartest and most effective summary of the climate crisis you can find on the internet. Incredible that the entire diagnosis of the problem, the solutions and the obstacles in the way were evident all the way back in 1985 and yet we have still failed.
@d.w.stratton4078
Imagine Congress today allowing a scientist to speak, uninterrupted, for 15 minutes.

Carl Sagan was as an inspiration, R.I.P. he could explain the most complex subjects in the simplest terms that even a child could understand. An extraordinary teacher.
@ChrisAnderson-v4n
It’s embarrassing that the problem was so clearly explained and then no one took action.
@tjevans3025
I so miss Carl. When he released Cosmos - I watched it so many times that I had the script memorized. He changed my life, and because of him, I pursued a dual major of Chemistry and Biology.
@twowingsstudio
And, here we are 40 years later suffering the consequences of doing pretty much nothing about it.
@cybergothika6906
Hearing an intelligent mind speaking fluently and uninterruptedly for 16 mins straight is like brain massage to me, in this date and age.
@LosJugadores1234
40 years later, and people are still questioning this mans message
@janishernandez6419
An unsung American hero. RIP Dr Sagan
@MotoTvWoodsFarm
Imagine living in a time when people of different political beliefs actually listened respectfully to each other.
@Space_Rebel
RIP Carl Sagan. A brilliant and inspirational man.
@guyonthecouch007
Nobody interrupts this man when he speaks... .learned more in 1985 than in 2022.
@marcusberger7324
He was such a gem of the scientific community. He is sorely missed.
@MalaysianPerspective
I never knew Mr Sagan or met him. But I did watch his documentary Cosmos, all of it as an adult in the early 2000s. The cosmos was broadcast in Malaysia in early 80s. But some very "smart" tv program executive in Radio Television Malaysia scheduled it after my 8 year old bedtime at 10pm. So I did not see it in the 1980s. I got my first telescope in 2003 after watching the whole cosmos series and realizing I actually love astronomy. I wished I watched Cosmos in 1980s and made a different career choice but I made the most of the past 20 years. 😊, I am happy. Tq Mr Sagan. RIP
@HiroKone
Amazing. The clarity. 40 years ago. And even now you still have people not understanding things he addresses.
@kashphlinktu
It’s so awesome that everyone listened to him and quickly came together to decisively solve the climate issue like responsible adults
@jaylove2322
What the world needs is more Carl Sagans.
