Dubuque area residents react to Pope's call to work on climate change...

The Telegraph Herald published an article this morning about the reaction of local people to the Pope's call to deal with climate change.

Embraced by Catholic leaders, applauded by activists and scientists and dismissively shrugged off by skeptical conservatives, Pope Francis' pronouncements Thursday on climate change received mixed reactions from Dubuque residents.


The local GOP party head released a statement some bullshit about how warming wasn't man made.

Of course one of our local teabaggers had this to say in the comments section.

Nothing here based in fact merely mouthing the propaganda and junk science of the far left who are promoting a HOAX.

When speaking on issues not related to the Church doctrine the pope is just another left wing whacko promoting a HOAX


Typical. When their guy was in charge the right wingers were in love with the Papacy and never wasted an opportunity to bash those who disagreed with the Pope in any way whatsoever. Now a days these hypocrites are singing a different tune.
