Cardinal George Pell...

...gave an excellent and thought-provoking lecture on climate change at Westminster Cathedral Hall on Wednesday. Read more here. Afterwards, he answered questions with great patience and goodwill: it was a model of how a Bishop shpoul;d speak and act.

Sadly, the Bishop refuses to face up to the science or indeed to the teaching of the Holy Father. We are stewards of this earth which God has given us. We are busy polluting it to death.

I completely agree with the Cardinal! At worst it's extremely exaggerated. At best it's a complete scientific misdiagnosis. The reality is probably somewhere in between. There is probably marginal global warming that can be attributed to mankind, but hardly anything disasterous. The cures are worse than the disease.

Manny has no evidence for his view. The recent scientific investigation into the question, paid for by the Koch brothers and other sceptics, far from supporting them as they hoped, confirms that global warming is just as s serious as the United Nations, the British Government, and the Vatican have claimed.
Why can't we face the facts and get on with the job of being stewards of God's world?
