The research on global warming is faulty and the investigations did nothing to squash the rumours of whitewash. In fact it makes it appear as these institutions have something to hide.

Perhaps the NIH should convene a study section to comment on what foods people should give up for Lent, or the London School of Economics release a paper on what the going rate for indulgences should be. Oil and water, matter and antimatter, religion and science. The idea that a “Pontifical Academy of Science” even exists in 2011 is utterly laughable.

My point is that your article refers to this as a 'message' and 'report' from the Church - it is not! If it were then why is the report being presented to the Pope? If the report came from the Church it would come via the Pope. Read the PAS's website. Furthermore given that its members are not necessarily Catholic why the emphasis on what Catholics do with this report? Not to mention the picture of the Pope. The report is for all people. @6, What does the address matter – the PAS is linked the Vatican, but it remains independent.

The real question is, would this prompt ordinary catholics at grassroots level to worn on mitigating the problems? I actually don't care much if their fight against global warming is inspired by science or God (although the former would of course be nice). It's already quite late, and consequences have become much more important than causes. I am glad the Pontifical Academy has taken an official stand on the dangers of global warming.

You want the skeptics to convert to fearing climate change even if its for unscientific or even scientifically erroneous reasons, like the pope told them too or tornado struck near by. To put it in more biblical terms, you are wishing for your climate change god to shower the disbelievers in fire and brimstone. Your not a journalist Chris, your a Priest. They should fire you and give your job to Nullius in Verba. Chris I think we all know what you really meant by the last line of the article.
