Pope Francis blasted global warming skeptics on Thursday as having "perverse attitudes." The pontiff, during remarks made to negotiators at climate talks in Germany, called climate change "one of the most worrisome phenomena that humanity is facing." He added efforts to combat climate change are held back by those who deny the science behind it, are indifferent or resigned to it, or think it can be solved by technical solutions. "We must avoid falling into these four perverse attitudes, which certainly don't help honest research and sincere, productive dialogue," he said. He urged negotiators at the Bonn meeting to take action free of special interests and political or economic pressures, and to instead engage in an honest dialogue about the future of the planet.I'm going to give the pope the benefit of the doubt here and assume he doesn't have the slightest idea what he's talking about, rather than thinking he's being as dishonest as the people actually leading this dishonest movement. Francis seems easily swayed by the notion that the pursuit of wealth causes all kinds of calamity, so maybe he's just too primed to go along with the global warming orthodoxy.
