"That is not adaption" Sagan .."the deaths of enormous numbers of lifeforms that were imperfectly adapted to the environment"...if it helps assuage your guilty conscience, I could give those lifeforms an F for failure to adapt.

Did you watch the original episodes of Cosmos that aired on PBS in 1980? I had the personal experience of meeting Carl Sagan when he visited the PBS station here in Seattle on the campus of the University of Washington at KCTS-9 where I worked as an engineer. He was touring the country cutting promos for the series at a number of PBS stations before it aired. In one episode he spent about 20 minutes discussing how greenhouse gasses and how burning fossil fuels causes increased global warming and the resulting massive effects it has on Nature and the environment. The biggest example of CO2 effects in our solar system is Venus. Super hot atmosphere caused by CO2! Gave a lecture on campus of U of W here and talked quite a bit about AGW and the massive pollution and heating effects that burning fossil fuels causes in our biosphere. en.wikipedia.org imdb.com
