Links for 06/15/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Oh, Boo Hoo for Crisis Magazine, who seemingly can't take what it dishes out. And lose the name Crisis. Vatican II and the movement to the left economically, as well as the unmasking of the pro-life movement as electoral in nature is progress, not Crisis.
Since the Journal piece is dated next year, I suspect it was not source material for the new Encyclical, although we will see about that when it is published. Just to be clear, however, the heat crisis and the energy crisis are different things. We are not at peak oil (the spike in price had to do with irregularities in the trading rules of the NY Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) that have been fixed in accordance with Dodd-Frank) and there is plenty of coal. Global warming happens because of heat and because these fuels really are not going away soon, so there is resistence to stopping them while they are cheap to extract. Of course, Helium3 fusion fixes both heat and supply, but people who have invested in dirty fuels will still hate the change. The real problem, therefore, is capitalism. That is the moral part, the scientific parts, not so much for theology.
A wonderful story about a woderful mother. I hope they have a wonderful lawyer to sue the SUV manufacturer.
