Now that Pope Francis has come out on the side of acknowledging human-caused global warming, Republican presidential contenders are suddenly on the side of "science" not religion. Where does this pope guy get off on mixing religion and politics, sheesh!
Thanks to the pope, it’s becoming more difficult to cast yourself on the side of the angels and the oil companies at the same time. Never mind that human-caused global warming is established science, political contributions from the oil and gas industry are waaaay more important than saving the world. And it’s not just the Republican candidates, a surprising number of regular ol’ Republican people are still buying into the "hoax" line fed to them by big oil and politicians.
Let’s hope Pope Francis and the Catholic Church (not known for being wild-eyed commie environmentalists like 97% of those climate scientists) can help bring some sanity, morality and actual science to the global warming battle.

Before there was the Pope’s Encyclical on Climate Change, there was . . .
The Gospel of Denial. From the Republican Disciples of Fossil Fuel.
In the First Book of Denial, Republicans walk on oil-slicked water— thanks to the miracle of oil viscosity!
Lo, then the Messiahs provide oil-soaked loaves and fishes to the impoverished masses . . . giving them combustible fuel so they may fire factories and prosper by their very bootstraps!
The most-denying Republicans demonstrate their power to raise the dead so that they may ascend to the heavens— and wrap the world in the loving embrace of Holy CO2.
The Disciples of Fossil Fuel know that among the twenty or so, there is a Judas!
Who will poll exceedingly low by the time the cock crows three times.
Verily, the Gospel teaches us that if we have undying faith in Denial and follow our Fossil Fuel Fathers (never mind the ninety-seven percent), we will be rewarded in this life . . . with eternal profits.
This, is the Word of the Oil.
Aaaamen.
