    2. If this wasn't so sad it would be funny…

      Santorum: Pope's new climate pitch is for new converts

      “The Vatican and the Pope are not climate scientists,” Santorum said. “They’re not going to weigh in on what needs to be done.” 

      Is this maroon unaware the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, established in 1936, is a thing?  To quote Francis' predecessor…

      "As people strive to "unlock the mysteries of man and the universe, I am convinced of the urgent need for continued dialogue and cooperation between the worlds of science and of faith in building a culture of respect for man, for human dignity and freedom, for the future of our human family and for the long-term sustainable development of our planet"

      "Dialogue and cooperation between faith and science are urgently needed for building a culture that respects people and the planet…Without faith and science informing each other "the great questions of humanity leave the domain of reason and truth, and are abandoned to the irrational, to myth, or to indifference, with great damage to humanity itself, to world peace and to our ultimate destiny"

  3. As we prepare for the Pontif's Joint Meeting of Congress in minutes, the leader in the Republican primary weighs in…

    Trump: Pope is wrong on climate

    If the country does have climate change or global warming, Trump opined, "it’s going to be of the nuclear form because we have incompetent politicians watching over us when it comes to nuclear weapons. That's our big problem."

        1. Ken Buck is a class A Asshole – xenophobic, a rumor-monger, a flat-earth climate change denier, and a political opportunist. If you're going to jump in to defend his honor, be prepared for people to call him out for what he is.

      1. Somehow I'm not really impressed since the deficit is still over 450 Billion. Bill Clinton left a balanced budget and a surplus when he left office. 

  8. Where is Colorado, Madam Attorney General?

    NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) – At least 27 U.S. state attorneys general on Thursday initiated a multi-state investigation of Volkswagen over its representations to consumers of its diesel vehicles, according to a spokeswoman for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

    [snip]

    The states now involved include Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia, the Illinois spokeswoman said. Washington D.C. is also part of the group.

    Our Republican attorneys general rush out an join every stupid, half-bakes lawsuit filed by their right wing brethren, but when it comes to issues that involve protecting Colorado citizens from corporate malfeasance, Atty. Gen. Cynthia Coffman is expectedly absent. 

    1. She was too busy looking for dead baby heads in the dumpsters behind Planned Parenthood.  Being concerned about the impact of deceptive sales practices on our environment not so much.

  9. Well, there goes the "we shouldn't take action because China isn't taking action" argument…

    China to Announce Cap-and-Trade Program to Limit Emissions

    President Xi Jinping of China will make a landmark commitment on Friday to start a national program in 2017 that will limit and put a price on greenhouse gas emissions, Obama administration officials said on Thursday.

    The move to create a so-called cap-and-trade system would be a substantial step by the world’s largest polluter to reduce emissions from major industries, including steel, cement, paper and electric power.
