Pope Benedict's Warming

You can place Pope Benedict XVI in the category of a Global Warming skeptic:

The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.

The German-born Pontiff said that while some concerns may be valid it was vital that the international community based its policies on science rather than the dogma of the environmentalist movement.

Of course, the Pope was immediately reviled for daring to suggest that facts somehow should manage to prevail over emotions, breast-beating and scare tactics. Wonkette said:

Pope Benedict XVI has decided to stick his little Nazi head directly up Al Gore’s peaceful ass by calling global warming fears nothing but “scare-mongering.”

Some of the more printable comments on this statement include:

• He is just worried about that tax cut for no children thing. Needs more children to feast on.
• Isn't the Catholic Church, and all organized religion in general, based on dubious ideology??
• You son of a bitch, stab your crucifix into the souls of humanity just one more time. Come on, do it... it'll be like the good old days when you were marching up and down the streets wearing your swastikas.
• ...I hate sharing this planet with these azzholes, don't you?

The comments went on and on. Did the comments deal with facts, with studies, with statistics, with science?

No. The responses immediately fell to personal and religious attacks.

Because, you see, that's all The Left possesses.

Isn't it odd that it's Open Season on Western Religions (Christianity) and the Catholic Church (specifically) whilst The Left insists we kiss the ass of Islam and prosyletize for Islam in our schools and society.
