WPFMTS Syndrome is Back | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The extent to which the Pope's newest letter depends on science is the extent to which views can be changed, because scientific knowledge changes - both with better measurement and discovery and with the process of scientific communication.  Still, the message must be that if you are sure that something is afoot with climate change and that something has bad effects for other people - then action is not optional - no matter how many scientists the Koch Brothers and their industry try to buy.  This encyclical should ideally cause those Catholics who take money for climate denial to take a second look at what they are doing - and if they agree, to stop - and maybe even publicly denounce those who funded that denial (paying back the money if possible - which is the ultimate witness in the Koch Brothers world.  Of course, if you think warmth is good then you are probably not a scientist - although all human adaptation to climate is not bad if it is slow enough - but Florida washing away cannot be pretty - if only the Kochs lived there.
