I can follow your ramblings and rants. You are easily understood where you are coming from. Even when you are "not feeling any pain "you make sense of things.

There is a cold virus going around in this area that lasts for a month right now. It is pretty nasty stuff. It could be a companion virus that is running in the same circles as this year's flu. It mostly has cold symptoms and not nausea.

It is good the Pope has come out with support for the climate. Other religions do take notice in the Christian World.

I have no clue what you are

In reply to Is that a lot of CO2

I have no clue what you are ranting about. The steam and ash probably has H2S in it and other gases that are in the magma.

That particular volcano is a cinder cone in the Trans-Mexico volcano belt part of the ring of fire. It is located in a monogenetic volcano field system. The only thing you will find on the top of that cone is basalt rock. There is something like a 1000 of those cones in that system. What happens in a system like this is magma follows a rift in what is called a dike until it comes to a weak spot then erupts into a fissure eruption. Then it forms a cone or shield until it runs out of magma source. Monogenetic volcano means it only will erupt one time. It doesn't have a direct link to the mantle or a magma chamber underneath it. The cones in this field are steeper then the ones that form in Iceland's Holuhraun Lava Field. There is one that is active right now in Holuhraun.

I know, I know.

In reply to It might make Catholics think

I know, I know.

I think about this.

Hell, I might think about going back to Mass.

This is nuts!

But Genesis, at least according to what I have read, tells me that WE are responsible for this planet..

I am going overboard.

But damn! We should, as a species, begin to go overboard!

I am rambling again, according to Oxy. hahahahahah

Too much cough syrup. hahahahah

It might make Catholics think twice about the issue

If they are devout, it should go beyond that, they should pretty much take a papal encyclical as instructions on what they should be doing if they want to be good Catholics

American Catholics have famously not followed this tradition in the past and become very independent minded. But not conservative American Catholics, they have mostly stayed true to following what the pope says is right. So lessee what happens with Rubio, et. al.

Thanks. I guess we just have

In reply to I just looked it up that Cruz

Thanks. I guess we just have to follow the Koch money. Climate change is a growing issue world wide. It is good the Pope has said something. It might make Catholics think twice about the issue and take a closer look behind the GOP's motives.

This new El Papa is wondrous!

In reply to TED CRUZ HEAD OF SCIENCE SUBCOMMITTEE?

I just looked it up that Cruz identifies as Baptist.

So this one's for Marco Rubio, about which your article says Fellow climate change denier Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will also chair the Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries and who identifies as a Catholic:

...Pope Francis said Thursday he is convinced that global warming is "mostly" man-made and that he hopes his upcoming encyclical on the environment will encourage negotiators at a climate change meeting in Paris to make "courageous" decisions to protect God's creation...
