U.S. Catholic, probably el supremo among liberal Catholic slicks (magazines), has this for a story in its current issue:

Environmentally conscious college students are changing the climate on Catholic campuses by pushing for more eco-friendly practices. And now their schools are following the course to help preserve the planet. [Italics added]

Really. Like peaches or blueberries, so they last through the winter, I guess. “The planet” won’t last through the coming global winter, or heat wave, whatever. It’s eco-talk by Al Gore followers. Yahoo for today’s students, I guess.

Hysteria? Not quite, but lemming-like behavior for those who know about Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, compliments of the Heartland Institute, where Chicago’s finest think-tankers offer what’s good for what ails these students.

It has:

Whereas the reports of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of a dangerous human effect on climate, NIPCC concludes the human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs.

Hmmm.
