New York Times: “On Thursday, Pope Francis will release his first major teaching letter, known as an encyclical, on the theme of the environment and the poor. Given the pope’s widespread popularity, and his penchant for speaking out on major global issues, the encyclical is being treated as a milestone that could place the Roman Catholic Church at the forefront of a new coalition of religion and science.”

I see the Catholic Church has accepted the doctrine of the global warmingclimate disruptionglobal cooling climate change religious cult.
But like the Mayan calendar or the Jehovah Witnesses, the prediction of 'The End of the World' has been.....Well.....Problematic and there is no exception when it comes to the fanatical global 'whatever name this week' doomsayers.
I must say that ABC News totally 'crushed it' when it came to these predictions a mere 7 years ago......
FLASHBACK: ABC's ’08 Prediction: NYC Under Water from Climate Change By June 2015
By Scott Whitlock | June 12, 2015 | 7:30 AM EDT
New York City underwater? Gas over $9 a gallon? A carton of milk costs almost $13? Welcome to June 12, 2015. Or at least that was the wildly-inaccurate version of 2015 predicted by ABC News exactly seven years ago. Appearing on Good Morning America in 2008, Bob Woodruff hyped Earth 2100, a special that pushed apocalyptic predictions of the then-futuristic 2015.
The segment included supposedly prophetic videos, such as a teenager declaring, "It's June 8th, 2015. One carton of milk is $12.99." (On the actual June 8, 2015, a gallon of milk cost, on average, $3.39.) Another clip featured this prediction for the current year: "Gas reached over $9 a gallon." (In reality, gas costs an average of $2.75).

Why? Are you suggesting that the videos are false in some way?
You called it an ABC piece, yet linked it to a Right Wing hatchet site. I was wondering if you had anything from the source...ABC, or do you take the word of these scam sites?
(How does your "source" describe themselves?

Happy? You post a Right Wing Scam site as if it were somehow "factual", then link to a ABC project that depicts "WORST CASE SCENARIO" OF THE FUTURE.
From ABC news on their "Earth 2100" website:
Watch "Earth 2100," a two-hour television event, Tuesday, June 2, at 9 p.m. ET. In order to plan for the worst, we must anticipate it. In that spirit, guided by some of the world's experts, ABC News' "Earth 2100," hosted by Bob Woodruff, will journey through the next century and explore what might be our worst-case scenario.

Pope Francis: Climate Change A 'Principal Challenge' For Humanity
June 18, 2015 8:47 AM ET
Cardinals follow a news conference to present Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si," or "Praise Be," at the Vatican on Thursday. The far-reaching papal letter addressed climate change and the poor.
Pope Francis today issued a sweeping 184-page papal letter, writing that climate change is a global problem with far reaching environmental and social consequences — especially for the poor. He blamed apathy and greed and called on developing countries to limit the use of nonrenewable energy and to assist poorer nations.
"Those who possess more resources and economic or political power seem mostly to be concerned with masking the problems or concealing their symptoms," Francis wrote of the impact of climate change in the encyclical titled "Laudato Si," or "Praise Be."
He called on humanity to collectively acknowledge a "sense of responsibility for our fellow men and women upon which all civil society is founded." And he wrote that climate change "represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day."
Francis said that developing countries, as the biggest producers of harmful greenhouse gasses, owe the poorer nations a debt. "The developed countries ought to help pay this debt by significantly limiting their consumption of nonrenewable energy and by assisting poorer countries to support policies and programs of sustainable development."
In one particularly blunt passage, Francis writes: "The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish. ... Frequently no measures are taken until after people's health has been irreversibly affected."
The letter has put the pope firmly on the side of the world's climate scientists, an overwhelming number of whom say that the Earth is warming and that mankind is responsible for a substantial portion of the temperature rise. As we reported on Wednesday, that also places him at odds with "climate skeptics," including many Republican lawmakers and GOP presidential candidates.
However, the encyclical is being praised by environmental groups. In a statement from WWF International, President Yolanda Kakabadse called the pope's voice "a much needed moral approach to the climate debate. Climate change is no longer just a scientific issue; it is increasingly a moral and ethical one."
Vincent Miller, who holds a chair in Catholic theology and culture at the University of Dayton, is quoted by The New York Times as saying that the encyclical "gives Francis a very traditional basis to argue for the inclusion of environmental concern at the center of Christian faith.
When the INSANE are running the ASYLUM In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
“How fortunate for those in power that people never think.” Adolph Hitler
The pope is infallible... He's JC's voice on earth.
If the pope says Climate Change is a threat...
if the US Military says that Climate Change is a serious threat...
if the scientists in the field overwhelmingly say that Climate Change is real and caused by humans...
and the only opposing voice is from Right Wing Politicians...
I'll go with the Jesus Christ's spokesman, and the US Military, and the Science over some lame Right Winger funded by Big Oil. Wouldn't you?

Frustrated Republicans Argue Pope Should Leave Science To Scientists Who Deny Climate Change NEWS IN BRIEF June 18, 2015 Vol 51 Issue 24 Environment · Politics · Politicians · Pope · Republican
WASHINGTON—In response to a 184-page papal encyclical that urges immediate action to address the environmental and social consequences of global warming, a coalition of frustrated Republican leaders issued statements Thursday arguing that Pope Francis should leave scientific matters to scientists who deny climate change. “Frankly, it’s not really anyone’s place to make declarations about climate science or global temperature changes unless they’re a scientific expert who has spent years rejecting the concept of climate change,” said former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who added that the pope had neither studied climate science nor ever been among the 3 percent of researchers who stand in opposition to the overwhelmingly dominant position held by the scientific community on climate change, so he had no business speaking on the subject. “Personally, I would never trust anyone as an authority on climate change unless they had done years of research and published papers claiming there isn’t enough conclusive evidence yet. The pope should just stick to theology and let the several dozen scientists who support the scientifically disproven point of view on global warming do the talking.” Bush also told reporters that Pope Francis was unqualified to issue policy recommendations of any kind unless he had personally accepted money from the fossil fuel industry.
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,"
