Morally? I'm not sure.
Spiritually it is one big hunk of sufferin’ succotash.
Physically it is doing fine.
True. However, it is to some extent due to the rich nations "exporting" their pollution to poor nations.
All that manufacturing now done in China rather than America pollutes their air rather than ours.
I would like to add to this discussion, the Pope’s foolish criticism of the proliferation of AIR-CONDITIONERS and Air- Conditioning in general.
The FACT is that the availability of air-conditioning is valuable far beyond mere comfort. Hundreds of THOUSANDS of people of all ages are alive today due to the very presence of the ability to control the temperature of one’s immediate environment. Millions, especially the elderly have systems that cannot cope with extremes of temperature.
Whether extreme heat or extreme cold, people are liable to die merely due to the temperature. This includes the countless thousands who flee my cold New England to the safety of Florida each winter. Of course, as the temp rises in Florida the flight reverses.
A few years ago France, during a record heat wave, suffered power outages due to over-demand, at a time when much of the medical world was on vacation. Hundreds of French elderly died in the oven-like apartments of Paris. Worse, most of those people had NO air-conditioning under any circumstances.
For millions, air-conditioning is LIFE ITSELF.
Many show reverence for the”environment” while they should learn of the requirement of STAYING alive.
The pope person is a stupid, scatterbrained Commie.
Worst pope ever.
He's trying to sink to the depths of Algore or Michael Moore (Is he still alive?!).
I didn't know that Catholics were allowed to use taqiyya.
Did Vatican II have a clause in it where they replaced the Bible with the koran?

Keep in mind that Pope Francis is from Argentina, a certified third-world S*#T Hole, so his plane of reference is pretty warped.
