Pope Comes Out Against Carbon Credits, Disappoints True Eco-Believers

Pope Comes Out Against Carbon Credits, Disappoints True Eco-Believers. This just made life harder for the Church of Global Warming.

The best news here is that the pope says no to carbon credits and carbon tax credit trading, a key liberal obsession for years. Al Gore was probably on the phone with his portfolio manager in Dubai at 1 a.m. Eastern time today, dumping some of his vast green equity holdings. The encyclical also strongly rebukes abortion and dismisses arguments for population control as a proper response or viable solution to global poverty. The New York Times story saves these elements for a single paragraph at the end of their long love letter to the pope, clearly hoping nobody will read that part.

    • The Pope is at least honest. He wants a reduction in consumption, not a shuffle allowing some to.use other's tax credits to.continue their high consumption unabated, while others, mostly the very poor, get screwed. You may not agree with his stance, but you ha v e to give him points for not being manipulated by the uber rich.

      • He wouldn't be manipulated by the rich, he's a communist and he hates rich people, he is more likely to do and say anything against rich people.

    • True...But can you imagine how pissed the Gioricle is right now? I bet there is steam (CO2) coming out of the Goricle's orifices....

  • That was part of the Rev. Al's money making scheme to defraud nations while lining his own pockets.
