Cardinal Pell airs concern about Pope's view on climate change

To Goredowg: Scientists are self-deluded sinners like everyone else. Given the lack of evidence for global warming, there is massive evidence that human ideology may be distorting thought on a grand scale as it has throughout history. After decades of promoting the idea of getting rid of inconvenient life, anti-populationists have contrived this absurd means to justify their repressed moral conscience. A denial of sin creates ideology. Authentic religion is the cure for ideology.

I am puzzled by the knee-jerk reaction by many conservatives against the hypothesis of man-made global warming. If the vast majority of climate scientists agree on this, then it is very likely to be true. I doubt that there is a secret cabal paying off scientists at the universities to falsely preach global warming. Regardless, we will still need to curtail our use of fossil fuels, since they won't last forever.

I still am struggling to read and understand the document. However, I know that much of his criticism of the treatment of the environment is aimed at developing countries where breathing the air or drinking the water is demonstrably dangerous. But what to make of his comment on the marketing of air conditioners? Is he tackling entropy? The option for comfort over true development in poor countries? Puzzles like this make it hard to get through.

Bravo Cardinal Pell!!!
