Global bishops call for 'complete decarbonisation' by 2050

Vatican City (AFP) - Bishops launched a global appeal Monday for a breakthrough at upcoming Paris climate talks, including a "complete decarbonisation" of the world's economy and more help for poor countries battling the effects of climate change.

The bishops said any agreement "should limit global temperature increases to avoid catastrophic climatic impacts, especially on the most vulnerable communities".

From across five continents they called "not only for 'drastic reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide and other toxic gasses', but also for ending the fossil fuel era".

The goal should be "complete decarbonisation by mid-century, in order to protect frontline communities suffering from the impacts of climate change, such as those in the Pacific Islands and in coastal regions".

The November 30-December 11 conference in Paris will be the culmination of six years of work since the ill-fated 2009 Copenhagen climate summit, which failed to lock down significant agreements.

Since all animal life is carbon-based, let them eliminate themselves first.

So no more smoke signals when a new Pope is chosen?

Yes, this is just a “soft target” so they can pretend they’re still relevant to a population that has largely turned its back on God. Much easier than dealing with militant Islam or homosexual radicals, the mass murder of abortion, or destruction of the family...

This fake issue is also going to be a key part of Obama’s legacy (as there are no real metrics); he will be remembered as the “savior of the Earth”.

Theses "bishops" are fools. I will bet not one of these guys know what the naturally ocuring concentration of carbon dioxide is, nor do they know anything about photosynthesis. They should occupy themselves with their jobs as bishops, not advocates of phony science. CO2 is absolutely essential for plant life through photosynthesis; no plants, no life. CO2 is also absolutely essential for the production of oxygen through photosynthesis.

So let's recap. No CO2, no photosynthesis. No photosynthesis, no oxygen. No oxygen, no life. Oxygen is formed in photosynthesis through the hydrolysis of water, not from CO2. Lastly, it is water vapor that is the largest driver of weather, not CO2. It would be hard to outlaw water, but these buffoons in the government will try. (P.S. The natural air concentration of CO2 is 300-400 parts per million, i.e., .03-.04 %.)

Then they’re supporting the idea of the pope conducting his world travels either via Skype or rowboat.

What ever happened to Jesus’ Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20?

Matthew 16:23 also comes to mind.

priests need to stick to religion and leave the climate
science to experts (not to propagandists).

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 ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s 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?

Over attendees at the conference.
I am sure all of them arrived by a carbon-fueled transportation vehicle. I’m sure many have private jets.

Since all life as we know it is carbon-based, are they calling for the extinction of all life?

How will plant life survive without carbon dioxide???
