Pope Francis Lays Smackdown On Climate Deniers; RFK, Jr. Interview

Several weeks ago, Pope Francis released a climate change encyclical, telling Catholics that they have a religious and moral obligation to protect the planet, as well as the life that this planet supports. This marks the first time that a religious institution has called for bold action to fight climate change, and that isn’t sitting very well with climate change deniers.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Michael Mann discuss this.

But he's also a known Kochsucker as well. Just goes to show you - the "In God We Trust" religion will trump any other religion any time, especially in American politics! It's kinda strange, but as much as Kennedy and Mann talked about Rick Santorum, I don't think that they ever mentioned this hugely ironic fact. Here's the link to a web page about Santorum, in which the fact that he is a devout Catholic is the first thing that they mention about him:
