Pope Francis addresses Global Warming

[foragefarmer]

Braveheart,only mention to forget the Pope because you threw a little hissy fit on other matters than global warming and climate change.

[Braveheart]

I do tend to get a bit worked up over the Papists.

[Braveheart]

But the question still remains, what gives the Pointy Hat license to comment on climate change?

Got 10 minutes to learn about population, poverty and food production?

When His Holiness advocates for nuclear power I'll take notice.

Braveheart, it's just not true to say China and India are the big polluters - yes, you see some primitive systems belching smoke and toxins over there but their fuel usage/C02 production per person is miniscule compared to North America.

Agree with your thoughts on the Church of Rome though - I've no time for it.

Forage farmer, I do not feel any human with a brain would think that humans do not affect the planet. But thinking we are affecting climate, is a lot rich. If the pope feels we can change the climate, and prevent catastrophe, great, good for him. But he is mistaken and confused. Maybe he should actually read his Bible, and he would realize that climate will be the far least of our concerns. Maybe he should start reading his Bible, and start working on some of the concerns it mentions will one day happen, and try to deal with them???

Me thinks he is not reading his Bible, which is quite interesting for a fellow who is supposed to be so well versed in it's contents, huh?

Makes sense. Both global warming and religion are fairy tales told to the simple minded to guilt them into giving money to the schemers.

So let me get this straight. Most people here want people to accept GMO's because science has proven their safety. Yet out of the same mouth you say global warming is fiction and the scientists don't know what they are talking about. So what is it do we trust science and scientists or not. You guys a f'n insane

[sawfly]

sure lets get the popes vast scientific
knowledge.
and make our decisions based on it .

i am not saying he is wrong.
i don't know.

while we are at it , why not hear Peter Griffin from Family guy.
He's got Lois for a wife.
so he probably talks to god once in a while too.

better get 2 informed opinions
before we do anything drastic
