Pope Francis, yesterday, Jan. 18, in Manila made a strong environmental statement and again lent support to the theory that global warming is happening and is man made i.e. “anthropogenic” .

Conservatives are again angry at Francis.

Our suggestion is that rather than curse the darkness, light a candle.

Many decent people believe in anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Ask yourself why you don’t.

To help, here are our reasons for skepticism:

1. The leading supporters hid data that contradicted their public conclusions and treated dissenters politically with attempts to punish and silence them rather than in accordance with the canons of science which would be giving them full and fair hearing then refuting them openly.

I said this to another disappointed Tea Partyer.

This might sound crazy but I don’t think he’s shooting at us. This is what I wrote back in October concerning the 26th District State Senate race: http://billlawrenceonline.com/pope-franc...hn-kane-rebuke/

I figure the best strategies are either to assume he’s not shooting at us and join in at the targets we think he is shooting at, or figure he is shooting at us but to pretend he’s not and take what he is throwing and use it to shoot those who should be shot.
