The Pope Thinks Algore Is Full Of Shit

The Pope had some startling things to say today to the doom and gloom environmental crowd:

Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.

The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.

The 80-year-old Pope said the world needed to care for the environment but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind.

"It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.

I'm sure you have already heard or read about this story already, so I'm sorry I'm...what? You haven't heard about this until now? You mean to tell me that the Pope, the leader of a BILLION people had those incredible comments and you've heard exactly nothing on this?

Well, I'm sure if the msm thought this was important you would have heard about it by now. I guess it isn't news after all.

The Pope--He's on Fire
