22. Even the Church which persecuted Galileo has seen the light

Last May the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, arm of an institution that once persecuted Galileo for his scientific findings, pronounced on manmade global warming: It's happening.

Said the pope's scientific advisers, "We must protect the habitat that sustains us."

(From the OP article)



Simply basic physics it is: Easily noted when you have left your car out in the summer sun with the windows rolled up.



Time to roll our windows down - for when even the Holy See is forced to admit that the earth moves, you can be pretty sure that it does.


Christians Burning A Heretic Alive
Presumably in order to spread the Good News
