‘CLIMATE DENIERS STUPID’

ON BOARD THE PAPAL PLANE: Pope Francis on Monday slammed climate change doubters as “stupid” in the wake of a spate of hurricanes that have thrashed the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. “Those who deny it should go to the scientists and ask them. They are very clear, very precise,” the pontiff told a press conference on the return leg of a Colombia trip Monday. “A phrase from the Old Testament comes to mind: ‘man is stupid, a stubborn, blind man’.” – AFP
