Bangor Daily News: Sen. Jim Inhofe, one the most well-known skeptics of man-made climate change, said Thursday he disagrees with Pope Francis statements on global warming and is concerned about the influence they might have. Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, said in a statement he has supported programs to protect the environment, but challenged the popes statements that the science is settled in regard to climate change.

Reuters: Ahead of Pope Francis' much-anticipated encyclical on the environment, a poll released on Tuesday found that U.S. Catholics are divided on the causes of global warming, mirroring the views of the general public. The survey by the Pew Research Center found 71 percent of U.S. Catholics believed the planet was getting warmer, but less than half, or 47 percent, attributed global warming to human causes. About 48 percent viewed it as a very serious problem. The numbers are similar to the U.S. population...
