Pope Francis warns of destruction of Earth's ecosystem

….and the article’s very existence is apparently an act of sabotage by a clever person against the Vatican. OK, guys, who did it? Me? Jim? Aaron? Tyler? Ed? Larry? You know we fundamentalists have the long knives out for Rome! Fess up, now. :^)

Seriously, anyone familiar with the hideous environmental history of centrally planned economies—Lake Baikal, Shanghai and Beijing, really most of the world from the Sea of Japan to Germany—ought to cringe at the Pope’s suggestion of a central authority to regulate this. We’ll just get bazillions more coal-fired Chevy Volts and such and make the problem (whatever its magnitude) worse.

My brother’s definition of “environmentalist”: “Person who cannot do math or science”. (and he identifies as one, FWIW)
