Angry U.S. Republicans Rip Pope Francis Over Global Warming

50% of the time, climate change is good!

[Scott Nelson]

Yes, in other words, there is such as thing as global warming, which is exacerbated from human beings continually emitting carbon-based waste products into the atmosphere.

The name change was to avoid getting bogged down in debates which concern the fact that some regions of the planet at various times of the year will get cooler than normal while other regions heat up. There will be temperature fluctuations across the globe, as opposed to a gradual uniform increase.
The overall trend though is, upwards.

Hello GUT,

My understanding is that climate change and global warming are different names for basically the same thing.

The religious argument (and here I am talking about religion mixed with politics) is that it is incredibly arrogant to think that humans can alter or correct something that has been put in place by God. And that basically he has things under control.

Check out youtube videos where Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson talks about climate change deniers. He says that it is a scientific question and that only scientific data needs to be and should be considered. In other words, it is not a political debate nor a philosophical or moral one. According to Tyson, the scientific evidence is overwhelming and on the side of climate change. He acknowledges that there are some scientists who disagree but says that is to be expected.

Man I like that guy.

I also like Christopher Hitchens' take on it. He says that if you are a climate change denier then you have to be absolutely right because we don't have another planet on which to run the experiment.

Really love Hitchens as well.

I also love how religious climate deniers say don't worry. It is in God's hands and he will take care of it when it gets out of hand. Right. Just like he stepped in during the plague and the Holocaust.

Now without starting a fight, that is also a different issue.

ie climate change v's global warming.

I have also not heard any climate changers saying it's in God's hands but maybe we move in different circles.

I don't know what there is to fight about, it's here. It isn't a case of belief, I think the belief comes in when people talk about the cause.

Science has demonstrated beyond any doubt that we are the cause of excess CO2, Rather selfishly I admit, I'm glad I won't be around when things get really bad.
If it takes a Pope to make them see sense, then so be it.

[GUT]

Oh a fight over global warming.

[Scott Nelson]

No, there's more science than faith in anthropogenic global warming.

[Ginger]

Certainly there's more of faith than science to the belief in anthropogenic global warming. IMHO, the Pope is a fitting spokesman for it.
