The environmentalist agenda will keep most of the worlds poor in developing countries in poverty. It takes affordable energy to develop modern societies. Would the pope have us all go back to pre-industrial societies living in villages with horse powered agriculture? There is another ugly facet of the environmentalists...some want to limit population not only with birth control and mandatory sterilization, but with forced euthanasia and abortion.
“Vatican spells out vision for zero-carbon world”

Pope Francis gave full support to the global warming hoax which is the “Golden Calf” for the environmentalists’ cult that has been enriching the false the prophets of that new religion (Albert Gore was the high priest of that cult. Now they have a Pope)
“Satellite and balloon measurements show there has been no warming for nearly 20 years. Some land surface measurements can be induced, after much statistical “correction,” to show a modest warming. Either way, whatever has happened to the climate these past two decades has not been major. The models that generate climate predictions are terrible. For decades, the models have predicted high temperature increases. The reality has been very different: temperatures have been (more or less) flat. The models are not just bad, they are lousy (look at this picture and judge for yourself). Not only that, but every scientist used to know that when a model made such rotten predictions, the theory on which the model relies must be false.” (Leaked Laudato LamentedCrisis Magazine ^ | June 17, 2015 | WILLIAM M. BRIGGS)
To declare that men can control weather changes is the epitome of arrogance, even for a Pope. The Sun, and in first instance God are responsible for weather changes.
By the fruits you will know the tree, by their advisers you will know the leaders.
Pope Francis is more radical and dangerous than Obama. As soon as he took power he rescued from the trash bin of History the Marxist liberation theology after was proscribed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Francis called the most radical of its leaders, Leonardo Boff, who was silenced by H.H. Pope John Paul II, as one of his adviser for his encyclical that tries to give moral support to the global warming hoax, but instead Francis destroys his credibility and demeans the respect for the Catholic Church.
Another of Francis’ top advisers is German Prof. John Schellnhuber, a well-known Malthusian and climate radical.
Francis rescued Marxist liberation theology from the trash bin of history, now he wants to exhume Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
In Pope Francis’ call for a “bold cultural revolution” to confront climate change, he is using classic Marxist terms (Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Marxist liberation theology) to promote a political agenda aimed toward the advance of “collectivism, redistribution of wealth, and global government.”
