Pope Francis has once again underscored the perils of manmade “climate change,” urging nations to adopt practical measures to counteract its effects. After his “Angelus” message in Saint Peter’s Square Sunday, the Pope gave a shout-out to the “One Planet Summit” that will take place in Paris this week, voicing his hopes for the summit’s success in fighting climate change.
“Two years after the adoption of the Paris climate agreement,” the summit will renew its commitment and “consolidate a shared strategy to counter the worrisome phenomenon of climate change,” the pontiff stated.
“I strongly hope that this summit, as well as other initiatives that go in the same direction, will foster a clear awareness of the need to adopt genuinely effective measures to counteract climate change and, at the same time, to combat poverty and promote integral human development,” he added.
The Pope also took advantage of the occasion to tie climate change to recent extreme weather events in India and Albania.
“In this context I would like to express my closeness to the Indian populations affected by Cyclone Okhi, especially the families of the many missing fishermen,” Francis said, “and also to the population of Albania, which has been severely tested by major flooding.”
As Breitbart News reported in October, a number of nations have quietly begun backing away from the Paris energy goals, which are part of the non-binding agreement focusing on carbon dioxide emissions.
According to Lawrence Solomon of Energy Probe, a Toronto-based environmental organization, “most signatories are ignoring, if not altogether abandoning Paris commitments, undoubtedly because voters in large part put no stock in scary global warming scenarios.”
Pope Francis has called climate change skepticism “perverse,” while calling skeptics to “ecological conversion.”

Right, as if India getting hit by a cyclone and Albania by flooding are new phenomena.
Pope Francis has called climate change skepticism “perverse,” while calling skeptics to “ecological conversion.”
What's perverse is an ostensibly Catholic Pope adopting #WeatherPropaganda as his religion.
Oh ye of little faith in climate change.
How about the “worrisome phenomenon” of Islam?
On a continent where Christianity is dying, this pope is worried about the weather.
Good point. Who’s telling the people to accept Jesus Christ as their savior? No one. At best, the Pope is not doing his job. At worst, he’s doing the devil’s work.
Francis is the worst pope of my lifetime.
Unbelievable, isn’t it?
He may be the worst Pope ever, and there have been some pretty bad ones. But at least the Borgia popes were more or less orthodox.
Was just there at the Vatican last week and wanted to give the pope a bible with instructions to actually read it.
Pope Francis - Oxymoron
Climate change, real or not, man-made or not, should be no concern of the Pope. It does not come under his job description and has nothing to do with saving souls.
I am beginning to think at worst.
To have a pope running around, obstinately pushing a hoax, in the service of the totalitarian abortionists, is the greatest scandal imaginable.
Is this question an unreasonable one?
Pope Francis should be spending his time and energy trying to entice the Catholics who have left the Church since he became pope rather than climate change. He is a failure as the leader of the Church and a bigger failure for interfering in secular screw ups, global change which only God in his wisdom and strength can change.
Pope Benedict said some cryptic things when he resigned, that there were divisions within the Vatican, but wouldn’t clarify any further. It didn’t sound good, however.
How about the worrisome phenomena of abortion on demand as birth ontrol, rampant divorce and blatant homosexuality among Catholics?
Papa?
Hello?
Yup. But then he got the most votes, so he must have God's ear.
How about the worrisome problem of the religion of climate change replacing the religion of Christianity ... and a “Pope” leading the charge.
