The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom

The same man who allows priests who have molested children to roam free
in the so called "holly" catholic Church? (in reality its a Roman
Church)

Pardon the pun, but is that "COOL"?

The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom
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.
The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears
over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of
unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.
The German-born Pontiff said that while some concerns may be valid it was
vital that the international community based its policies on science
rather than the dogma of the environmentalist movement.

Gee this sounds a whole more like J. Young than it sounds like
what the Pope actually did say, to wit:
Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of
tomorrow. 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. If the protection of the environment involves
costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the
different levels of development of various countries and the need for
solidarity with future generations. Prudence does not mean failing to
accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being
committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the
road to be taken, decisions aimed at strengthening that covenant
between human beings and the environment, which should mirror the
creative love of God, from whom we come and towards whom we are
journeying.
8. In this regard, it is essential to "sense" that the earth is "our
common home" and, in our stewardship and service to all, to choose the
path of dialogue rather than the path of unilateral decisions. Further
international agencies may need to be established in order to confront
together the stewardship of this "home" of ours; more important,
however, is the need for ever greater conviction about the need for
responsible cooperation. The problems looming on the horizon are
complex and time is short. In order to face this situation effectively,
there is a need to act in harmony. One area where there is a particular
need to intensify dialogue between nations is that of the stewardship
of the earth's energy resources. The technologically advanced countries
are facing two pressing needs in this regard: on the one hand, to
reassess the high levels of consumption due to the present model of
development, and on the other hand to invest sufficient resources in
the search for alternative sources of energy and for greater energy
efficiency. The emerging counties are hungry for energy, but at times
this hunger is met in a way harmful to poor countries which, due to
their insufficient infrastructures, including their technological
infrastructures, are forced to undersell the energy resources they do
possess. At times, their very political freedom is compromised by forms
of protectorate or, in any case, by forms of conditioning which appear
clearly humiliating.

Like religion?

Unlike the notion of hell and the "approaching" apocalypse?

Like religion and theology?

Despite that I actually agree with him in that some fear-mongering is
going on in the global warming department, the hypocrisy is so huge
it's almost not funny anymore. He has no right at all to address this
issue with any authority.

The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom

What are his qualifications to have an opinion on this?
