The Pope condemns Climate Change "Prophets," yes that includes you Al Gore

Pope Benedict XVI has weighed in on Climate Change. With a prudent comment about the current crop of climate change chicken littles. He seems to understand what I have said before this has nothing to do with climate change, but is instead about a social movement that has been unsucessful for almost twenty years. It is much easier to force change when you have fear on your side. From the article,

Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets
of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm
evidence and not on dubious ideology.
"Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of
tomorrow," he said in the message entitled "The Human Family, A Community of
Peace".
"It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out
prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by
ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of
reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the
well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.

This comes after Cardinal George Pell got climate change activists enraged after asking why the tempature on Mars increased,

In October, the Australian Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney,
caused an outcry when he noted that the atmospheric temperature of Mars had
risen by 0.5 degrees celsius.
"The industrial-military complex up on Mars
can't be blamed for that," he said in a criticism of Australian scientists who
had claimed that carbon emissions would force temperatures on earth to rise by
almost five degrees by 2070 unless drastic solutions were enforced.
