Religious leaders should stop bleating about global warming

Christopher Monckton of Brenchley sends this article by Grant Goldman, a popular radio host in Sydney, Australia.
"In Britain, North America and Australia the Church of England has declared war on coal, through... divestment programs and propaganda from the pulpit.
Time for some facts about coal. The gerontologist and evolutionary biologist Caleb Finch tells us that since the early 1800s life expectancy in Europe has doubled. The single greatest factor in the longevity revolution has been coal...
Coal saved from destruction the forests of Britain...
Coal dramatically reduced pollution...
Coal made possible modern medical science...
Thanks to coal, for the very first time ordinary workers who were not members of the aristocracy nor of the clergy had leisure time....women had the opportunity to learn to read...
Coal made possible the growth of democratic institutions and, vitally important, the abolition of slavery... and...the flowering of the Church of England.
Thanks to coal, hymn books could be printed cheaply and thanks to coal there were trees left in the land to make the paper"
Mr. Goldman concludes by admonishing those "purporting to lead the Church of England" to read the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 24.
Vatican sources are divided as to whether carbon credits earned by the abolition of slavery can be applied to a perpertual indulgences or the purchase of pagan babies in Africa
