“The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom”

Take that, Al Gore. 🙂

Update: My co-blogger Henry thinks the article I’ve linked to is badly misrepresenting the substance of the Holy Father’s speech (and others agree with him), and in some respects I agree. That having been said, it still seems to me that Pope Benedict XVI is warning folks like Al Gore to quit overhyping the issue. Here’s the money quote:

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.

Now, who do y’all think the Holy Father is referring to here? The skeptics? Come on.

Update II: Here’s a news report that may be of interest to some of my co-bloggers and Vox Noa’s readers given the comments to this post.
