    The Pope/Global Warming

    Just caught the tail end of the news on the way to work and heard something
    about the Pope giving out about Global Warming and such saying that people
    are only scaremongering the public into believing the dangers and harmful
    emissions etc., and that people should wait until theres cast iron proven scientific evidence to back everything up.

    (Sorry, I didnt catch much of the report so not sure if there was more to it
    than that)

    Anyone else think its odd for him to be saying this seeing as the Church was
    built and still survives to a certain extent on scaremongering about the fires
    of hell and they renounce any scientific studies which try to disprove a God
    and have a scientific approach to the creation of the World?

    you could argue it's entirely consistent for a pope to turn his back on science and evidence and whistle dixie.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

    Can't find any links related to this. Best I could find was Pope saying need to save the rain forests.

    In other news Pope calls for world peace & everyone to be nice to each other.
