Speaker after speaker used the occasion to lament the way science is treated in the United States today, usually leading with the example of climate change. Science is suffering from politicization on steroids, said MacFarlane. We took a big, big hit when we lost Carl Sagan, he added later. Holdren remarked that Sagan would have loved President Obamas comment in June that when it comes to climate, we dont have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society. Steven Soter, a writer on the original Cosmos series, added that Sagan would have been appalled by todays attacks on climate scientists, and that he would have deeply altered the landscape on the climate issue were he still alive. motherjones/blue-marble/2013/11/carl-sagan-climate-seth-macfarlane
