I think in the Original Cosmos, we were still in the Cold War, and there was certainly an emphasis by Sagan on avoiding nuclear holocaust. Global Warming was just starting to be hinted at. At the time, his evolution animation would have been very controversial. One of his themes was how insignificant we are in the Cosmos.
