AC is powered by refrigeration technology, so should we get rid of those too?

Pope Francis reminds me of Algore and all of the rest of the liberals and leftists.

Do as I say, not as I do.

How many people recently died in India due to a heat wave. Will the pope declare them martyrs for climate change?

The Pope hates people with type 1 juvenile diabetes...

Because the pope is saying Insulin which needs refrigeration is apparently evil...

The Pope ought to try living in Florida or Arizona, both places I have lived for years, in the summer without air conditioning. Talk about putting people's lives at risk. What another idiot liberal.

I read an article in the Wall Street Journal years ago that said that Houston, Texas would not have developed as a metropolitan area, if not for the advent of air conditioning. Too frickin miserable otherwise.

Not all of us can sit around all day in our pope hat. It gets hot when you actually work, Your Popeness.

As a practicing Roman Catholic I feel I need to remind everyone that this institution has had all kinds of bad popes and when they forget the admonition “My Kingdom Is Not If This World” .It gets into all sorts of trouble. But survives.

These meandering homilys of this pope on temporal matters diffuse any theologic message Pope Francis offers. Snowballs should be thrown at those pointy hat supporters of his as well as opposition clearly expressed to those meanderings on any visit Francis may make here.

Air Conditioning is truly one of mankind's greatest achievements.

I couldn't imagine living in 1850's Gulf Coast Mississippi and not having it.

Oh Wait, I don't have to imagine because in 2009 I went to Air Force Tech School in Biloxi and EVERYTHING in my Squadron was still broken from The A.C. to Water most of the time.

Being just a regular Smuck from Kansas and not used to that sort of humidity it was tough to say the least.

At least Texas is a Dry Heat.

Air conditioning is the reason people think it is hotter outside than in the past. It is also probably the cause of the obesity problem. Oh well...I like the A/C.

It gets pretty hot in Rome during the summer too...which is why popes usually spend summers in the mountains — Castel Gandolfo.

Old Texas Joke:

Q. What was the worst thing to ever happen to the State of Texas?

A. The invention of air conditioning. Because it made it possible for Yankees to live here.

There are three people in my family who would be dead without AC - all living with heart failure. Our temp is to go over the record 101 today with high humidity ... not good for the elderly and sick ... guess the Pope is into population reduction as well.

HA! Come to Houston and say that. The dew point was 75F this morning at 6...which is actually a little low for this time of year and I've seen it at 80F in the morning. Right now, the dew point is 77F and the RH is 84%. This is our life until mid/late-September.

The pope can have my AC when 1) He stops using it himself and 2) He pry's it from my cold dead hands.

I knew Frances was a chemist. He’s an economist, too?

So we'll fight global warming not through abortion but by giving up the AC. Cmon Libs! Can I get a Hallelujah!!

I'm sure that that message will resonate big Time!
