Actually the US emits almost three times as much CO2 per person than China does, and ten times as much per person as India.
That is the sad reality that the man-made global warming alarmists have created, we are going backwards on limiting real pollution. Pollution, actual pollution, is no longer a concern, the sole focus is on evil CO2, which is not a pollutant, not a health hazzard.
The left doesn't support Islam, it supports multicultural acceptance. You're applying a reductive view that conflates preventing your deporting brown people who dare say "Allah" in public with the support of religious terrorism. Adherants of Islam in the US, by the way, mostly supported Republicans before 9/11 prompted a wave of right-wing xenophobia that pushed them to the left.
It did but a phobia is an irrational fear? Do you really think it is irrational to fear what happened on 9/11, and reinforced in Fort Hood, Boston, and most recently in Texas?
Per a 2011 Pew poll 8% of Muslim Americanssay that suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets are often or sometimes justified to defend Islam from its enemies. I'm fine with the 92% but the 8% that are ok with it is more than enough to validate the fear of many Muslims in this country. http://www.people-press.org/2011/08/...for-extremism/
Ok, I'll get back on to the pope topic: "Stop drinking the sacrificial wine"
I sense a vicious hatred that rivals the cause of the Holocaust.
If you take a few minutes to read a few pages of the encyclical you will see that the Pope is talking about the results of unbridled greed.
The environmentalists better get real.. they should go live in a cave. Fact is we are not a big industrial nation anymore.. we passed that over to the developing industrial countries around the world..
If climate change is real , we have no control over it.. China Japan is spewing out all the carbon .. we are the consumer nation who is going broke with luxury living and consumer greed. We keep those carbons flowing as we consume all those products ..it is a throw away society.

Read a few pages. Don't be afraid. The dollar bills in your back pocket won't burn your arse.
That vast numbers of poor are not poor due to greedy corporations, they are poor, destitute and oppressed by thuggish, brutal despotic regimes which rule their countries. Giving them even half my wealth will not raise them up at all, their masters will simply take it from them.

How ironic, someone says China is a gross polluter, and you go on about how the US is a worse polluter than China, because of our CO2. Meanwhile you can't even breath the air in some Chinese towns because of the REAL pollution. Even the clean air act has been perverted into a crusade against CO2.
So please, don't pretend the focus is not on CO2, it's all you warmists rant on about.
Then what should the Pope tell poor people to do? To get off their lazy rears and go find decent paying jobs?
