    Manmade global climate change is real and a threat.

    I heard they don't let just anyone become Pope." You're right. The Holy Father must be holy and very wise. But keep in mind he's the head of a Church, not a Climate Committee. " I do see his opinion as having more weight than the average person." On spiritual matters, yes; he's the Pope. On climate change, not so much. He might have an edge, but he's no expert. He IS a chemist tho. "2. I disagree, it shows I am determined to defeat as many climate change deniers as possible." I'm a climate change agnostic. I don't think pumping carbon dioxide can be good, but I seriously wonder if humans really can change the weather. I think we're overestimating our influence. "3. ???" I know. "4. That's because of ozone destroying products like hairspray being phased out." Science is all about controls and variables. While it's true products like hairspray came around when the ozone hole began to shrink, other natural events were going on that could have been the cause. In a sense, if we look back on this as an experiment to find out what hairspray products do, we know our experiement would be tainted by other natural events, (climate involves the whole Earth) given that it has more than one variable Lastly I'm a dude. Have a good day
