Koch Brothers Explain Bible To Pope. Thanks, Koch Brothers!

He'll see reason OR ELSE

While most of the world is trying to figure out what to do about this whole climate change thing before it’s too late and we are all OOPS! dead, the concerned citizens at the completely objective Heartland Institute, which happens to be funded by the also very objective Koch brothers, are looking out for more important things, like teaching Pope Francis that God loves pollution:

“The Holy Father is being misled by ‘experts’ at the United Nations who have proven unworthy of his trust,” said Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute. “Humans are not causing a climate crisis on God’s Green Earth – in fact, they are fulfilling their Biblical duty to protect and use it for the benefit of humanity. Though Pope Francis’s heart is surely in the right place, he would do his flock and the world a disservice by putting his moral authority behind the United Nations’ unscientific agenda on the climate.”

The poor dumb pope is under the impression that there are “moral and scientific grounds” for taking action on climate change and is planning to instruct Catholics around the world to do that. But that’s because he hasn’t heard the other side yet.

So the Heartland Institute is graciously sending “real scientists” to explain to him, ahead of an environmental summit at the Vatican, why the 97 percent of not real scientists who agree that climate change is real are wrong. Those greedy posers who pretend to have the science to back up such claims don’t understand how science works, and they certainly don’t understand the Bible. Not like the Heartland Institute does. That’s why it had a billboard campaign a few years ago to inform people that if you believe climate change is real, you’re just like Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. You don’t want to be like Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, do you, New Pope?!?!

rights folks to show up and protest at courts, etc., when civil rights are in jeopardy.

We need way more exposure to do any good, though.
