Vatican Issues Far-Left Declaration on Climate Change, ‘Very Fabric of Life on Earth at Grave Risk’
Breitbart ^ | 12/5/17 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 12/06/2017 6:29:38 PM PST by marshmallow

In a dramatic declaration punctuated by dire threats and warnings, the Vatican is urging the world to “decarbonize the energy system as early as possible and no later than mid-century” to avoid irreversible damage to humans and ecosystems.

In its newly released “Final Declaration: Our Planet, Our Health, Our Responsibility” from a November workshop on climate change, air pollution and health, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences warns that “there is less than a decade” to put in place a series of sweeping measures to counteract the effects of human-induced climate change. “The time to act is now,” it reads.

Surprisingly for a statement coming from an academy of “science,” the document is riddled with unscientific assertions in a bizarre mix of political ideology and apocalyptic hyperbole.

“With unchecked climate change and air pollution, the very fabric of life on Earth, including that of humans, is at grave risk,” the text begins. “We propose scalable solutions to avoid such catastrophic changes. There is less than a decade to put these solutions in place to preserve our quality of life for generations to come.”

In what can only be termed an attempt to generate mass hysteria, the statement envisions a dark scenario not unlike those depicted by past doomsday fads such as the supposed population explosion and catastrophic oil shortages of the 1970s.

Why don’t they issue a statement that says; “PRAY and repent and ask God to help the earth!” instead?

It is a shame to see the Vatican being degraded and used this way, and even more so because it seems to be mutual with the atheist scaremongers.

Somebody please tell the head of the Catholic church that God is in charge.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 1:28

Just as the Vatican surely recognizes that God created the Heavens and the Earth I hope they recognize the distinct possibility that *God* is responsible for all that is happening with “climate” and not mankind.

The only one who can stop the climate from changing is God. That’s their balliwick.

Many similarities to the NFL as an institution. They are both imploding, doubling down on stupidity and inflicting irreparable damage to themselves. I am pretty much done with both. Both are considered “religions” to many LOL.

You know a Vatican statement like the one referenced here is a diabolical fraud because it doesn't even mention GOD once. This would be like McDonald's coming out with a menu that has no hamburgers on it.

Comrade Pope should direct his efforts to controlling his extended staff of predatory queer priests.

because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. -Romans 1:25

The myth of Man made climate change is a product of the following agendas;

Communism
Russian desire to maintain high prices for their oil and gas
Population control
Anti-capitalism
Anti-Americanism
Discouragement of third world development to continue exploitation of their resources
