Let's first see what this encyclical produces. It might be an expose of the global men-induced climate change scam it is; who knows?
Just as the hole in the ozone-layer and many of the other 'scares' produced by our 'erudite experts'.
So far information quoted from Danish scientist is that probable change in climate can be linked to activities the approximate eleven year cycle of sun-spots, similar to the rainfall cycle.
So let wait and see not forgeting that PF has a degree in chemistry.
God bless you all. Bill

Rorate Caeli reports here that a draft of the Holy Father's Encyclical has been put up by an Italian site here. http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2015/06/full-content-of-popes-encyclical.html

A cursory glance of an automated translation reveals nothing much unpredictable or out of the ordinary, but if the press is correct, Pope Francis does endorse so-called climate change, while distancing himself from radical environmentalists.

Quote

"Environmentalists have wondered how Francis would address humans’ role in climate change, a point contested by many climate skeptics and some conservative Catholics. In one section, Francis writes: “Numerous scientific studies indicate that most of the global warming of the past decades is due to the concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and others), emitted especially because of human activities.” He adds that the problem is compounded “by the development model based on the intensive use of fossil fuels that is at the core of the global energy model.”

In the draft, Francis begins with a hymn, “Canticle of the Creatures,” written by the man whose name he took, St. Francis of Assisi, the 13th-century friar who dedicated his life to the poor and who is the patron saint of the environment.

The docuмent is then divided into six chapters, with the first titled “What Is Happening in Our House?” It deals with a wide variety of issues, including climate change, pollution, water rights, the loss of biodiversity and global inequality.

In other chapters, Francis writes about the “wisdom of biblical accounts” (in a chapter titled the “Gospel of Creation”) and pointedly disputes the idea that population control and contraception are solutions to the planet’s limited resources."

Ah yes...let us remember this is settled science!

http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/06/13/nailed-it-abc-predicted-nyc-would-be-under-water-from-climate-change-by-2015/

Remembering that the “science is settled,” this is the year that ABC predicted that New York City would be under several feet of water due to rising seas caused by global warming.

That wasn’t all ABC News thought would be going on by 2015 as predicted in its 2008 news special entitled Earth 2100. As Newsbusters’ Scott Witlock reports, the news department also claimed that by 2015 we’d be paying $9 per gallon for gasoline, that milk would cost $13 a gallon, and that many other parts of the US would be under water thanks to that “settled science.”

ABC wasn’t done with the doomsaying, either. Here in the real 2015 researchers estimate that there are about 7.125 billion people on the planet. But in 2008 ABC was sure that by its assumed 2015 the earth’s population would have dwindled to a mere 2.7 billion due to food shortages, clean water shortages, wars, and increased temperatures.

The program, which was produced in 2008 but aired in 2009, was advertised with the fear-inducing claim that we may be “living in the last century of our civilization.”

I think we all should be.

I know it's not exactly kosher to admit that we are scared especially when a more appropriate adjective is annoyed or aggravated but the sad and scary part of this encyclical is that its a further deviation from Catholicism. I have read interpretations of leaked parts and it really sounds like Pope Francis is rally around the flag of a world government with the environment as the cause or excuse.

Pope Francis is also reported to have written in the encyclical that we do not have domininion over the world and the portion where Pope Francis blames the problems of Africa (which are unsolvable but if another nation wants to be the custodian then it Africa would at least become orderly) on "climate change" being caused by "rich countries" this is just going to cause more hate and discontent in the world.

It's too bad the novus ordites (as represented by Pope Francis in his conclusions that rich countries cause bad weather in poor countries) always have to create a bad guy for their causes. They are incapable of caring for the poor without also fostering hatred for others and this is envy based and it's deadly and the death count from this kind of thinking is in the tens of millions.

So, in short, I am scared.
