ROME — Vatican Cardinal Michael Czerny insisted Tuesday there is no place for discussion with those who doubt or deny the “climate crisis.” ...
Oh, just because you say so, absolutely no discussion can take place with anyone who disagrees with your opinion, eh? Science is a continuous discussion, you pathetic hack. Doubt has a premier place in the ongoing testing of scientific theory. Your attempt to shut down any discussion with those who hold contrary views proves beyond a shadow of any doubt that you are unscientific and your theory is weak since you won't even allow it to be debated. You're a feeble charlatan.
One of the voices that Czerny is probably targeting is ...
Surely one of those whose voices should be silenced is Australian Cardinal George Pell, who has warned against the Catholic Church buying into climate alarmism.
“The climate change movement is now a worldwide financial colossus, ruthless and intolerant, colossally expensive, a useful substitute for religion for too many,” Cardinal Pell wrote in his 2020 book Prison Journal.
“Unfortunately, many in the Vatican have jumped onto the climate change bandwagon, despite the encyclical Laudato si’ twice acknowledging that the Church should leave science to the scientists,” he wrote. “It could be a mistake like the one the papacy made with Galileo.”
“I suspect history will judge the emphasis on the threat of climate change as bizarre,” the cardinal proposed. “The climate is always changing, and, despite the bluster, we don’t know what raises global temperatures.”
While in many places “it is political suicide to be skeptical of or hostile to the climate-change movement,” Pell wrote, “someone will cry out eventually that the emperor has no clothes.”
