More proof that this is really more a cult than a science, as multiple religious leaders yammer on about Hotcoldwetdry
(The Hill) We are bishops from the global South and North, united by faith and humanity. As pastors, we seek to comfort the young and the old, the healthy and the infirm.
We try to ensure that the powerless are heard and the powerful are engaged. In accordance with these values, we join hands with Pope Francis to call upon our leaders to protect all of creation from ecological calamity as they prepare to sign the Paris climate change accord later this week at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Those of us living in the industrialized nations in the global North know that we are disproportionately responsible for carbon pollution. Those of us living in developing nations in the global South know that we are disproportionately impacted by climate change. In solidarity, then, we must all examine our lifestyles with sobriety and support public policies that place the common good of everyone over the narrow self-interests of the few.
In other words, these religious leaders are advocating for more authoritarian government over freedom.
