Carl Sagan was the early champion of the greenhouse warming AGW bullshit.
The only extraordinary claim is that statement of his that you quoted.
Change for the sake of change = chaos
It’s called normative, politically biased science”

People should read the whole thing as this guy is making fun of the Republican (dumb) vs Liberal (smart) argument
This is a very well thought out piece as I have had the same thoughts
keep reading .... people are missing his point
Few, if any, people are open to all scientific truths.
Even the science genius Galileo refused to accept two of Kepler’s findings.. 1) that the moon has an influence on tides and 2) that the planets have elliptical orbits.
Well, I guess that will teach me to read while exhausted.
“Few, if any, people are open to all scientific truths.”
Would it be fair to say, though, that at any given time there are things that are still open to debate?
The watermelons call us closed-minded because we reject anthropogenic global warming, and accuse us of resisting science on that ground.
Saint Augustine wrote, “We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers (De Genesi ad litteram, I, xix, xxi, especially n. 39).”
I'll say.
Liberals, on the other hand, are more open-minded and tolerant of uncertainty, just like scientists themselves.
[eyeroll] No, it's that they have no bullshit detector, and thus believe what people who are agenda-motivated try to manipulate them with. The author confuses open-mindedness with wide-eyed childlike simplicity, ready to believe whatever story comes along, especially if it aligns with their prejudices or gives them an opportunity to feel superior or just generally good about themselves.
