Cardinal Pell denounces, "global warming zealots"

Cardinal Pell of Sydney denounced the "nonsense about climate disasters" and the
"semi-religious" zealotry of those worried about global warming.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Australia wrote to his flock that
“doomsayers” and “zealots” who worry about global warming have subjected their
listeners to “a lot of nonsense about climate disasters”.

Noting that some opinion page editors and others have called for “Nuremberg-style
trials for global warming sceptics, while a USA television correspondent
compared sceptics to ‘holocaust deniers’”, Cadinal George Pell said “Christians
don’t go against reason although we sometimes go beyond it in faith to embrace
probabilities. What we were seeing from the doomsayers was an induced dose of
mild hysteria, semi-religious if you like, but dangerously close to
superstition.”

Writing on the Sydney Australia website on February
18, Cardinal Pell said that he is “deeply sceptical about man-made catastrophic
global warming, but still open to further evidence.” He noted that global
climate change, such as the Ice Age, had come about with or without human
intervention and that he would be surprised, however, if man-made pollution had
no ill effect at all."

I've always admired the Cardinal's guts. Global warming is the liberals Holy Grail, and they are incredibly intolerant about it.
