Alabama’s climatologist Dr. John Christy: I would give the Pope some homework on global warming – Regs ‘will actually do nothing to change what the climate is going to do’
Alabama state climatologist and UAH professor Dr. John Christy says if Pope Francis was in his classroom he’d “give him some homework.”

“He’d find out that the regulations he is fond of and the president too, will actually do nothing to change what the climate is going to do,” Dr. Christy told WAFF. “Reducing carbon emissions has a definite economic effect, it hurts the poorest the most and the first, and that’s something I don’t think the Catholic Hierarchy has factored in at this point.”
“There is a debate about what to do about climate change, and it generally falls on political lines,” Christy continued. “Those, who like me, do not see any advantage to eliminating these carbon emissions, because they’re not going to affect the climate much, we know that; and those who control of the human society, through controlling energy by reducing carbon emissions. That’s a different view of society than people who want to see energy available for people, especially the poorest among us.”
