It’s kind of like walking into a crowded room and shouting, “I hate you misogynist wife-beating sons of bitches” and seeing who jumps up and says, “well we hate you too.” Heh. It seems like King Solomon just figured out who the real mother was.

Why denigrate the views of this Pope by comparing him to that lousy bunch of houligans, the UN? The “German Shepherd” cares more for the poor of the world, who are inestimably economically harmed by all this AGW gobbledygook, than the incredibly compromised UN does. The “Goracle” will make a fortune off all this (like a ranting televangelist with millions of blathering followers), but Benedict XVI is the true advocate for the downtrodden. I ask ..what has the UN ( or Al Gore, hanging out in Bali with all his buddies, burning up gazillions of carbon offsets which are really illusory) really done for ANYONE, lately? Far as I can see, wherever the UN goes, they rape, plunder and steal… Given a choice, I prefer Benedict XVI’s views, any time, anywhere.

This Pope is a very, very smart man. He would not be so stupid as to wade into the specifics of a sceintific controversy with respect to which he has no competence or training. I happen to be a devout Catholic and love this Pope very much. I listen to him very, very closely when he speaks on issues relating to theology, philosophy, morality and the relationship between politics and religion. I would be disappointed in him however if he pronounced on scientific issues. He hasn’t, however.

Once again this has to be stated: CONSENSUS IS NOT PROOF! Just because a bunch of people agree to believe in something does not make it real or true.

For example, the Daily Mail says:

“The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.”

But nowhere in the Pope’s message is such a claim even implied. Yes, the Pope advocated science over ideology, but isn’t that what we are supposed to ALL support? Is this an admission by the Daily Mail that all AGW claims are ideological and not scientific?

The Mail continues:

“His remarks reveal that while the Pope acknowledges that problems may be associated with unbridled development and climate change, he believes the case against global warming to be over-hyped.

“A broad consensus is developing among the world’s scientific community over the evils of climate change. ”

See!! This shows that the Pope has taken the side of evil!!

Maybe he has horns too! Why else would he need such a big hat????

Good God. Am I reading a british newspaper or a KKK pamphlet from the 1920′s?

Pope Benedict XVI stands up against the global warming “prophets of doom”, a/k/a Al Gore and his church of eternal carbon credits. BWHAHAHAHAHAH! What a beautiful thing to hear. We have the Pope vs Al Gore et al; AND the…

Global Warning:…

Word History: An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?sis, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—”ists,” as he called them—who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Agnostic: (my def): gnostic (knowledge) prefix of “A” (without).

What you refer to as irony is merely hatred of Christ’s Church on Earth.
