Chocolate-Covered Junk Science and Candy-Coated Validation
It’s not difficult to sell chocolate-covered junk science and candy-coated validation. The politicization of science corresponds with the gullibility of media, and it’s no coincidence, because Big Media is wrapped in an unbreakable symbiotic relationship with Big Government. They both have a deep vested interest in manufacturing crises, creating Big Problems that require Big Solutions, cooked up in political laboratories located conveniently near major media headquarters in a few power cities.

Dear Pontifex: Poverty and Statism Kill the Earth, Not Commerce and Progress
It will be loads of fun watching the Left strip-mine the papal encyclical for politically useful passages while ignoring the rest of what Pope Francis says.
