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 Peters 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 summits 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.

Between The MoonBeam Pope and MoonBeam, I’d say priorities to them mean nothing.. and we truly do need climate change,, at the Vatican and in Stinkymento..
Will Pope Francis throw in the $100 Billion a year
There have been 266 popes, a goodly number devout, God-pleasing and brilliant; most of them sincere and adequate; some bumbling and/or shady; and a very few (by my count, maybe 10) horribly corrupt.
But even the worst of the worst ones --- the worldly prelates running after women, money, and castles in Italy --- were guilty of mostly private vices. They did not tamper with doctrine. Doctrine quite simply did not interest them.
Pope Francis is the only one, as far as I know, who took a passionate interest in Catholic doctrine: for the purpose of overthrowing it.
Even at the worst times in our history --- for instance, the Avignon Captivity plus the Western Schism, which together lasted 110 years--- you didn't have popes and anti-popes who actually wanted to Repeal and Replace Catholicism.
However, historically, God fixes things and rescues his Bride by raising up saints fasting and sacrificing, and speaking Truth to weak or whackadoo popes: think St. Catherine of Siena.
The job is yours, if you want it.
Everybody who prays with faith, has God’s ear.
So are you praying for him?
Francis promotes a very “carefree” kind of Christian living.
He is the worst kind of Catholic, let alone Pope.
If there were ever a play about the Garden of Eden, he could easily play the snake. He is an evil influence, but I think most Catholics, thankfully, see that and his time will be up very soon. He should have absolutely no legacy somewhat like the last president. Just biding time until he goes.
Hey pope! you are pope, not algore. Start reading Christian books for a change. Oh, and put away kooo ran.
Pope Francis needs to go back to practicing changing his hats in church and walking down the center aisle in a straight line while swinging that little “smoking thingie!”
The College of Cardinals is about as useful to Catholics as the US Senate is to Americans. Pope Francis=Mitch McConnell minus the vestments.
The Pope is a man, and all men are influenced by where they come from. I personally think that many of the Pope's opinions are influenced by growing up in a nation that sees the wealth of the US as evidence of US oppression rather than of a political system that empowers individuals. He likely believes that climate change is a consequence of US industrialization, and that the people who will pay most are the poorest nations. None of this is true, in my opinion, but I think I understand what his motivations are.
A huge underlying problem, in my opinion, is the false narrative, too widely accepted, that the haves and have-nots in the world are inversely defined by their morality. This is just not true, and is a very harmful world view.
Good comparison.
Great point!
The Pope? No, I don't believe he is anyone special and I don't pray. I'm agnostic, but conduct my life through Judeo/Christian principles and values. However, I do believe Jesus Christ existed and was the best man this particular rock has ever known.
I’ve gotten to the point to where nothing this Pope says is of any interest to me. Eighty percent of it goes against my beliefs and I was raised Catholic. In fact he is the reason I finally decided to leave the Catholic church completely. He is that bad. If this is what the Catholic church has become then they can do whatever they do without little me. I bet I’m not alone. I bet this Pope has caused a lot of people to leave the church. The exact opposite of what a Pope is supposed to do.
He needs a brain leftist-ectomy. A lobotomy or maybe leftotomy or leftectomy.
By blaming mankind for "climate change," is the Pope saying that mankind is no good?
The claim that mankind is causing climate change is not based on the scientific method, but on feelings and "consensus" among those being paid to conclude that mankind is causing climate change.
The scientific method shows that the Sun is the primary cause of climate change, not you.
God values honesty and resists hypocrites, so you might want to pray like, "Hey God, I don't know if you exist, but please help us on this particular rock. Please guide everyone --- including me and the pope ---- to overcome our thud-headedness and meanness (and me-ness) and do the right thing."
I single out the pope for prayer because he is without doubt the world's most influential religious leader, for good or ill. I would do this even if I were Protestant or Jewish.
Or agnostic.
If you don't pray, I must respectfully state you are part of the problem.
Man up and do it!
Deplorable by Hillary and now perverse by Francis.
LOL.
I think he is majoring in the minors. He should be more concerned about the lost who are going to hell because they do not know Jesus as their personal Savior. Religious leaders are going to be held to a higher standard. . .just look at the Old Testament priests and false prophets and what happened to them.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
It’s a sad day when the pope claims that man can change the climate. A very sad day for all of us to know that the leader of the Catholic Church is a blatant liar.
