Was Carl Sagan a vegetarian?

Carl Sagan had empathy for all life. -"Humans - who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals - have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and "animals" is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them - without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us."-from Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, 1992However, despite this and other passages in Sagan's work, it is difficult to find any evidence that Sagan was a vegetarian or vegan.

What does nuclear winter do?

"Nuclear Winter" was a scary fiction created by Carl Sagan in an attempt to lobby the United States into unilateral nuclear disarmament and surrender. In theory, a sufficient number of nuclear weapons detonated on the surface of the Earth would send soot and dust high into the atmosphere, where it would reflect sunlight back into space, causing the Earth to cool and enter a new ice age. (At the time, Sagan was convinced that Global Cooling and an incipient ice age was coming anyway.) Sagan tried to portray the 1991 burning of the Kuwaiti oil wells as a continent-wide version of this, but it didn't happen; even though the oil wells burned much as Sagan had feared, India and China did not experience severe cooling.

How does atheism affect moral life?

It really doesn't have much of an effect. Do all Christians agree and maintain the exact same morals? No, not really even close. Joseph Stalin was an atheist, but so was Carl Sagan. Do you think they would ever sit down with one another and have a cup of tea? No, probably not. Also, Stalin was a psychopath, Sagan not so much. Morality arises from your environment more so than from any other factor. People do violent things to one another when they are brainwashed to believe in an objectified "Other."
