I know, I know that the Pope is only supposed
to be infallible when speaking on church doctrine. But the current pontiff,
Francis, has outdone himself by preparing an encyclical which will be calling
for the U.N. to stop global warming … see: The Guardian Story. How the U.N. is supposed to do this when its well-funded subsidiary, the
World Heath Organization, can’t even begin to curb the Ebola epidemic is a little beyond
my perceptive talents. Perhaps, if it stopped propping up the five-star hotels
in Geneva and Brussels? And besides Popes don’t have a stellar record when it
involves things science … remember Galileo?
And speaking of global warming, John Hinderaker
of the Powerline blog has produced a nice article that references hard scientific analysis of Antarctic ice cores to show that CO2 levels are a lagging
indicator (by thousands of years) to our Earth’s large historic swings in
temperature … see: Powerline Blog . Perhaps the Pope (and Al Gore) should read this research paper before they
step into this cauldron of controversy?

The referenced research paper is unreadable to anyone who is not a scientist and therefore probably contains errors of measurement and inference.
Unreadable to anyone except, of course, Al Gore (after all, he was the inventor of the Internet). But then I do think the research supporting global warming clearly has errors of measurement and inference ... as has been demonstrated again and again.
