A draft of an environmental encyclical by Pope Francis says "the bulk of global warming" is caused by human activity. He calls on people - especially the world's rich - to take steps to mitigate the damage by reducing consumption and reliance on fossil fuels. Pope Benedict proposed we should recognize that the natural environment is full of wounds produced by our irresponsible behavior.  In words likely to anger some of his conservative critics, the pope backs the science of climate change, saying "plenty of scientific studies point out that the last decades of global warming have been mostly caused by the great concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and others) especially generated by human action". "The poor and the Earth are shouting", reads the draft of the encyclical, the first of its kind dedicated to the environment.

The Pope needs to stick to religion.

Apparently, the pope is a 'tool' just like the rest of our 'leaders'.

If TPTB don't get control of this internet-thingy soon, even the sheeple will start laughing at them...
