Amok,’ Planet ‘Overheating’

Pope Francis sent a message Saturday to the COP28 United Nations climate summit decrying the “unbridled exploitation” of the environment by first world nations. (snip) In his address, the pope blamed capitalist greed for the failure to act more decisively to prevent climate change. (snip) Along with capitalist greed, the culprits behind climate change also include nationalists who refuse to get with the globalist program, Francis suggested. “What is the way out of this? It is the one that you are pursuing in these days: the way of togetherness, multilateralism,” he stated.

From a loyal, practicing cradle Catholic to our Holy Father: If you are really serious about this "crisis," then direct all Catholic parishes, colleges, organizations, and institutions to eliminate any and all use of fossil fuel-derived energy: lighting, heating, air conditioning, automobiles, etc. Otherwise, SHUT UP!

The headline gives me a “Man behind the curtain, madly pulling levers” image. His only knowledge comes from people whose interests and motivations he does not know. Just because i give you 10 great reasons why my project to build an elevator to the moon will work, doesn’t mean there isn’t 1 reason that kills the feasibility entirely.

Repeating a lie many times, by many people, does NOT make it into a fact. It is still a lie. There is NO heating going on in the planet that is any different than what has happened NATURALLY for millions of years. Human activities have no effect on global climate.

The Pope is now well versed in climate change? When did he become an expert? Over 90 scientists have said climate change is mostly a hoax. I can agree with that. As a school student in the '50s I read several reports that by the year 2000 the earth would be covered with ice. That didn't happen. Now the reports are that the earth will be scorched in by 2013. Some of the published information is made by people who have not researched climate change or are not educated in any form of climate.

The liberal crazies, from actor Rob Reiner to the once conservative but now ideologue-for-sale Joe Scarborough, have their knickers in a knot over the potential that America may drift into “fascism” upon the possible election of former President Donald Trump in 2024. How deliciously ironic that these leftists express concern over phantom fascism in the future as they look the other way while their Grand Poobah, President Joe Biden , is laying out a clinic on fascist tactics. This is the same Biden administration that has actually brought criminal charges against its political enemies. Trump never did so, even though he had ample opportunity and justification against Hillary Clinton.

The 1st U.S. District Court of Appeals upheld Florida’s congressional map on Friday, reversing a prior court's ruling over concerns that the map violated racial representation requirements as outlined in Florida law. The previous ruling claimed that the congressional map reduces the ability of black voters to pick a representative in northern Florida. However, the appeals court determined the ruling had placed a “racial segregation mandate” into the Florida Constitution that did not exist. “The constitution cannot demand that all voters are treated equally without regard to race and at the same time demand that voters are treated differently based on race,” the ruling said.
