What has a Papal Encyclical calling on the world to end its use of fossil fuels and to pray to God for the success of the global “climate summit” in December got in common with the Greek euro crisis, the ominous rift between the West and Russia, and the shambles Europe is making over the desperation of African and Syrian refugees to find safety this side of the Mediterranean? They are all different aspects of the two greatest acts of political make-believe of our time, so all-pervasive that it is hard for us to grasp just how much effect they are having on all our lives.
When future historians come to look back on our age, few things will puzzle them more than the extent to which our politics became so dominated and bedeviled by two belief-systems, each based on an obsessive attempt to force into being an immensely complicated political construct which defied economic, psychological and scientific reality.
One of these was the peculiar way in which Europe’s politicians, with full support from the US, had set out to unite their continent under a form of supra-national government unlike anything the world had seen before. The other was the way those same politicians fell for the idea not just that human activities were disastrously changing Earth’s climate, but that by taking the most drastic measures they could somehow change it back again.

NO! A pope for no reason!
Cleanthes said it best:
As much as Europe misunderstands the cultural and bureaucratic monstrosity that is the EU, the same misunderstanding is at play in the US. That is to say, the American elite seem to take their fortunate position to be the product of some purely rational and voluntary act, owing nothing to fortuitous circumstances of common history, culture and language.
This explains not only why they encourage Europeans in this colossal error, but why, too, they run roughshod over the federal features of their own system. It is as if they seek to instruct the Europeans by exporting stupidity, then to intensify this error by importing some funhouse mirror version of their own bad advice
Progressives stick together..
Time for Benedict to take his job back.
Papal Bull ping
This pope is a complete idiot.
Pope Chuckles comes from a fascist third world country, so who is surprised.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit, please spare us from this blithering idiot in the Vatican.
Sadly, when man-made global warming is exposed to all for the fraud it is, many who would have turned to Jesus will have assumed that God is in the same category of make believe simply because of what this man is suppose to represent.
Turd in white.
VERY Sorry.
His idea; not mine.
True but in addition ... the planet's orbiting distance from the sun and their axis affect the climate on each planet. Sun output plus planet's orientation and distance from the sun control the climate. Man's contribution to the climate is practically nil.
And what is he going to do if you tell him to stuff it ... lay a hex on you?
The answer is really simple, first they take all of our firearms, then all of our money.
That will result in a great cooling of the planet.
Also of note each child will get it’s own unicorn.
Sadly, he’s more Argentianian socialist than papal material, much to the sorrow of millions of Christian who follow or respect and alley with Catholics.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

Global Warming on Free Republic here, here, and here
The pope joins the UNaccountable bureaucrats in a lie.
Nicely put.
unfortunately for the faithful, this pope, like his predecessors, is an incompetent Marxist-Secular-Humanist.
God didn’t do that! That was nature caused that pristine beauty. God gets credit for nothing, while man is the important mechanism that has to clean up the atmosphere and cause the weather to be what he wants it to be.
Woe be unto them who criticize ‘settled science’; settled by a bunch of useful idiots who call themselves scientists in order to please the central communist government’s bureaucracy.
He’s not too swift either.
“Papal Bull ping”
For the life of me, can’t help myself, I read that
‘Papal Bull $hit’
