Pope Francis: The world is near ‘suicide’ on climate change; ‘it’s now or never’
Washington Post ^ | Nov 30, 2015 | Niraj Chokshi

Environmental negotiators meeting in Paris should strike a climate change deal to save a world "at the limits of suicide," Pope Francis said on Monday.

"I am not sure, but I can say to you 'now or never'," he told a group of reporters aboard the papal plane, en route home from Africa, according to Reuters. "Every year the problems are getting worse. We are at the limits. If I may use a strong word I would say that we are at the limits of suicide."

The comments come at the start of a United Nations-sponsored environmental summit in Paris, which nearly 150 world leaders are expected to attend.

Politicians have generally "done little" to deal with the growing problem, Francis said, according to the National Catholic Reporter.

"I am sure they have the good will to do it. And I wish that it will be so, and I pray for this," he said.

Maybe the pope ought to have a viewing of the new documentary “Climate Hustle”.

The ability of the deluded to deceive the ignorant has rarely been more profoundly illustrated than in the Great Climate Change Hoax!

I don’t know what this Pope believes in, but he has sure bought into the New World Order, politically correct, multicultural paradigm of reason is dead, and facts are whatever the left wants them to be.

Yes and the red flashing lights should have gone off, for everyone, when he managed to dethrone the last Pope!

Coming from one raised as a Catholic: this pope is dumb, corrupt, and a slimy socialist. A real threefer one threat.

Just in case you left it off..."/s"

Papal infallibility doesn't cover climate change.

Matters of dogma only. And then only with a bunch of caveats.
