You readers know I don’t normally post images – but in this case, I had to due to the humorous if not unfortunate placement of these 2 stories – global warming right next to some people huddled together to keep warm around a fire.

Sadly, the humor stops when you actually read the story. It reads like a flippin’ environmental-extremist-alarmist-Algore- anti-capitalist set of talking points that repeats the same catch-phrases we hear over and over.

“We need energy policies that guarantee global-warming emissions will decrease, that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency, and that tighten fuel economy standards.”

“I don’t think people in our community realize the catastrophic effect of global warming,” Archbishop Flynn said. “This is a problem for all.”

“Can we adapt in time? The naive optimist in me thinks yes, but there’s no question our quality of life is going to be under increasing stress in our lifetime, certainly in this century for our kids and for our grandkids,”

“Some people are more interested in the green of money than the green of the forest,” Kirk told The Beacon, newspaper of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J. “We are responsible to God and the earth, this beautiful planet, which we’ve shortchanged.”

“Cultivating Care for All Creation,” identifies global climate change and mercury contamination as the two most pressing problems today.

Sounds like they just took a democrat party fax and copy/pasted…but many of these comments were made by bishops and priests.

I’m no dispensationalist. I am not for destroying the environment. However, I am against the perceived needs of the environment trumping the needs of the people populating the earth. The archaelogical record shows us that for millions of years, the climate has undergone substantial changes, with hotter and colder periods – and this is before mankind was even here! That leads me to believe that we’re conceited if we think we can have much effect at all on the climate – and it’s especially idiotic of us to take 100 years of records and decide we are undergoing severe climate changes, when the cyclical nature of this environment’s been going on without our intervention for millions!

Chicken Little’s been griping about various things for years. Most recently it was the “hole in the ozone.” Did you hear about it when the “ozone hole” closed itself back up? Nope, the mainstream media by and large didn’t mention that.

There’s a sinister angle to any story that talks about how we have to “save the earth” and “change our lifestyle.” It goes back to another example of Chicken Little…about 100 years ago people started warning that we were going to overpopulate the Earth and it wouldn’t be able to support us. Well, we kept having kids and look – we’re still here. Of course, this group of Chicken Littles evolved into Planned Parenthood, and look what it got us – babykilling is the norm, and contraception was accepted as necessary to keep from overpopulating (which obviously didn’t work out so well.) For the Catholic Church to flirt with enviro-nuts in this way may bring Her dangerously close to cozying up to the culture of death. And that is one thing that does scare me.
