World headed toward 'suicide' if no climate agreement: pope
Reuters ^ | November 30, 2015 | Philip Pullella

The U.N. climate conference in Paris is most likely humanity's last chance to thwart global environmental disaster, Pope Francis said on Monday, warning the world was "at the limits of suicide".

The pope, who wrote a major document on the environment last June, made the comment in an hour-long news conference aboard the plane returning him to Rome at the end of a six-day trip to Africa.

The freewheeling conversations have become a trademark of his papacy and the few times he takes direct questions from journalists....

He should be preaching and telling the world to turn back to GOD and GOD will heal the land. The secular leaders should be looking at the huge reality that a natural catastrophic event can change our environment in a matter of hours. An example? The early 1800’s volcanoes. We should be focusing the resources and research being wasted making Al Carbon Credits Gore richer on our survival of natural events locally, regionally, and even hemispheric. Instead we’re lead by Idiots & Thieves.

The pope thinks that economic development will abuse those resources to a disastrous extent.

He's got his priorities confused. ISIS will get him long before global warming does.

Would it be a mortal sin or a venial sin if I said I was looking forward to an Internet video starring the Pope & Jihad John?

The Pope is speaking out of his depth, and he’s embarrassing the entire Church.

Reading this reminds me of the Bank Bailouts, if we don't bail them out the SKY will fall, it will be the end of the world, businesses will fail all over the world and people will starve, all said with tongue in cheek by the RICH leaders. Asking each other, "do you think they buy that crap?"

No we didn't, but it was shoved down our throats anyway, same with this weather forecast.

This Pope is not interested in saving souls.

No, he’s always been this way; he’s a damned “SOCIAL JUSTICE” Marxist.

That was the science of the day said. That was the Ptolemaic theory. As of 1615, with a few tweaks like epicycles, it was still able to explain certain heavenly anomalies. Don’t forget that until the 1950s, Fred Hoyle was still against the “Big Bang” theory.

Well one thing is for sure, the Soviets with their five year plans sure caused a lot of ecological disasters.

Nut ball pope. Famous for gaffing. When the little ice age returns, and Catholics all over the World are starving to death, he will be remembered as a moron.

That they did, but the Chinese are worse; far worse and so are the Indians. And neither nation is in on this “CLIMATE CHANGE” tripe.

You are correct! I’ve heard that because of the one-child policy, their population will start to shrink in about 15-20 years. And that will create new problems for them...

love that one. never heard it before.

Hey Pope buddy, as a Catholic, i’m letting you know about internet porn, prostitution, girls and guys having sex 20 minutes after they meet (bad in my time now my nephews and nieces tell me it’s gotten worse), narcotics abuse worldwide, the muslim faith (that’s it, the faith period), sloth, greed, and lots more if you’re bored.

CC, if it did exist, isn’t on the menu of saving sins, unless i missed it in the bible
