The firm said based on similar sites in the U.S. and Siberia, only between 3% and 15% the total reserves would likely be recovered.

Catholics dragging morality and religion into the argument.
When Pope Francis releases his much-anticipated teaching document on the environment and climate change in the coming weeks, a network of Roman Catholics will be ready. These environmental advocates — who work with bishops, religious orders, Catholic universities and lay movements — have been preparing for months to help maximize the effect of the statement, hoping for a transformative impact in the fight against global warming.
Because when I think of someone scientifically qualified to shape the opinions of billions of people on the interplay of complex meteorological and biological processes, I think of Pope Esse. I'm sure god's given him the inside info.
Over the last 15 years or so, Catholic and other faith traditions have been increasingly taking up environmental protection, or what they call creation care, as a moral issue, emphasizing the impact not only on nature but also on poor people who struggle for access to clean water and farmable land and are often the most vulnerable in natural disasters.
Ah, "creation care."

Stop the presses. Rick Santorum just said something that indicates he's not a vapid fucktard.
I’ve said this to Catholic bishops many times — when they get involved with agriculture policy or things like that that are really outside the scope of what the Church’s main message is...

New paper claims 15 previous years of bullshit data and study are responsible for rises in global surface temperature.
Global warming ends African drought.

And the Lord said, "Thou shalt use renewable energy and recycle."
In the draft, Pope Francis wrote of a “very consistent scientific consensus that we are in the presence of an alarming warming of the climactic system.”
When I think of people qualified to comment on science and the real world, Pope Esse isn't even on the radar.

I see. So what climate data are they basing their policies on... the raw data, the data that was adjusted and then the original data destroyed, or the raw data that was reconstructed after it was discovered it was adjusted? Which climate model are they plugging their data in to, since they don't have a control and experimental Earths to observe... the one in which the code is not released to the public for review, or the one which assumed the atmosphere was infinitely thick?
Fucking idiots.

Press and left seems to love the global warming parts of the encylcical while completely ignoring other parts.
“The acceptance of our bodies as God’s gift,” Francis writes, “is vital for welcoming and accepting the entire world as a gift from the Father and our common home, whereas thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation.”

There's a heat wave in Pakistan right now, it's taken out over 700 people. Check this shit.
The 2015 heat wave has caused the highest recorded temperatures in Karachi since 1979.
1979.
Asif Shuja, the former director general of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency, claimed that the heat wave was a symptom of global climate change, aggravated by deforestation, expansion of asphalt-made super highways, and rapid urbanisation. He maintained that "there has been a rise in the Earth's average temperature from 15.5 °C (59.9 °F) to 16.2 °C (61.2 °F) over the last 100 years due to which we are experiencing such extreme weather conditions both in summers and winters."
Wait a fucking second, the phrase "since 1979" is implying that before then, there were temperatures higher than this. Your weather's allegedly gone batshit insane over the last century, but you're not topping the high temps from the Carter administration?

Here comes a mini ice age.
Weird how the global warming folks never mention the sun's ability to affect our weather in their models.
