How to get to the pope? What do you think of the green and very expensive carbon tax myth now? Are you worried about global warming ? Is global warming a special interest gambit? Is this a new inquisition? Are we going retro ?
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences is a Vatican agency that has origins in Galileo’s time. It’s made up of 80 of the world’s top scientists, who keep the Bishop of Rome and the Vatican up to speed on new scientific research. On April 28, the academy hosted a conference on climate change and poverty. The religious leaders are seated to the right. The scientists face them, across the room. At the central podium, beneath the bust of Pope John Paul II, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivers his address. They met in the great hall of the Vatican’s Casina Pio IV. The inscription on either side of the bust extols Pope John Paul II’s 1992 apology to Galileo.
