ThinkProgress: When Pope Francis released his encyclical on the environment earlier this month, he faced some criticism from people who said religious leaders do not have the correct expertise to speak authoritatively about climate change. Acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is not one of those people. On Tuesday, the author and host of the late-night talk show StarTalk tweeted that despite being a religious figure, Pope Francis is more than qualified to talk about scientific issues. In a series...

Pope Francis presides over the Roman Catholic church, the institution that created the market for indulgences, so you might expect him to be more sympathetic on this issue. And yet his recent encyclical Laudato Si, while forcefully urging action to combat climate change, specifically criticizes the sale of carbon credits. The pope claims that the environment cannot...
