| Religion is not the place to look for solutions to modern problems. |
| I take great comfort in the idea that the Pope will decide our policy on stem cell research, not to mention abortion and gay marriage. The Vatican is never wrong on scientific questions. Why, in 1992 the Catholic Church actually apologized to Galileo and said he was right after all -- the earth does revolve around the sun, instead of vice versa. And it only took them 400 years to figure it out. Less time than it would take George W. Bush to admit an error. I find that comforting.

| Story: Global Warming is the new religion of First World urban elites Geologist Ian Plimer takes a contrary view, arguing that man-made climate change is a con trick perpetrated by environmentalists by Jonathan Manthorpe, Vancouver Sun, July 29, 2009 Ian Plimer has outraged the ayatollahs of purist environmentalism, the Torquemadas of the doctrine of global warming, and he seems to relish the damnation they heap on him. Who is Ian Plimer? Ian Plimer is a geologist, professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, and he may well be Australia's best-known and most notorious academic. His book, "Heaven and Earth -- Global Warming: The Missing Science", draws together much of his previous work. It springs especially from the book "A Short History of Plant Earth", which was based on a decade of radio broadcasts in Australia. That book, published in 2001, was a best-seller and won several prizes. But Plimer found it hard to find anyone willing to publish this latest book, so intimidating has the environmental lobby has become.
