Empirically valid hypothesis

In a recent statement to diplomats from around the world, the pope offered a new hypothesis for all the problems we've been having with the environment.

"...we must remember that the problem of the environment is complex; one might compare it to a multifaceted prism. Creatures differ from one another and can be protected, or endangered, in different ways, as we know from daily experience. One such attack comes from laws or proposals which, in the name of fighting discrimination, strike at the biological basis of the difference between the sexes, I am thinking, for example, of certain countries in Europe or North and South America"

The examples, of course, refer to new legislation allowing gay marriage in Mexico City and in Portugal. It is well known that the loss of species diversity, the destruction of ecosystems and the problems of extreme weather patterns have been on the rise lately. Incidentally, these events have increased just as the acceptance of queers, same-sex marriage and civil partnerships. I think the answer is clear. Putting all our resources to stopping same-sex marriages and stripping queers of their civil rights will slow the problem of global climate change, right? ...right?

Of course, we have to take this fellow seriously. After all, he's the head of a highly respectable organization (it's been around for about a 1/3 of earth's 6000 years, don't you know?) and he's just worrying about mother earth....errr, I mean planet earth. I don't want to sound like a neopagan or anything.

On this topic, the Vatican has expressed distaste for 'Avatar', the movie. The worry is that the nature worship of the fictional Na'vi may lead people down a road away from god worship.

So, to recap. Homosexuality is really bad and threatens the environment and the creatures of the earth. However, the earth and nature is bad if we care about it too much because then we won't believe in religion and god. Following this reasoning, I suggest we let a little more 'gay' on the planet. More 'gay' will further damage the environment, which would be a step away from nature worship and lead the path to more god worship. We all win...except nature, that is.
