Award-winning political cartoonist Mark Fiore noted that since Pope Francis came “out on the side of acknowledging human-caused global warming, Republican presidential contenders are suddenly on the side of ‘science’ not religion.”

Fiore:

Thanks to the pope, it’s becoming more difficult to cast yourself on the side of the angels and the oil companies at the same time. Never mind that human-caused global warming is established science, political contributions from the oil and gas industry are waaaay more important than saving the world. And it’s not just the Republican candidates, a surprising number of regular ol’ Republican people are still buying into the “hoax” line fed to them by big oil and politicians.
