Pope Francis has issued a climate change challenge directly to President Elect Trump. The Pope, in thinly veiled speech, urged Trump not to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations Paris agreement reached in 2015. The UN treaty has been said by critics to be “history’s most expensive treaty’,” with a “cost of between $1 trillion and $2 trillion annually.”
Pope Francis warned of the “crisis of climate change.” “The ‘distraction’ or delay in implementing global agreements on the environment shows that politics has become submissive to a technology and economy which seek profit above all else,” Francis said, in what Reuters described as “a message that looked to be squarely aimed at” Trump.
Trump pledged to pull the U.S. out of the UN Paris climate agreement and defund and withdraw from the UN climate process.

If I were a bear I know where I’d take a dump.
I saw what you did there....
Comrade Pope
It may be debatable that climate change exist,however it is a fact that man cannot cure it with our money..beyond human power, they know it and want the bucks
These scientific and policy issues are not within the Pope’s core competences.
“Lighten up, Francis”.
Well Frank, once you get that rather unseemly situation of priests fondling the alter boys under control I suggest you STFU
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. And to God the things that are God’s.
Frankie boy needs to refocus on the spiritual side of his job and less on being a messenger boy for those elite and nameless bureaucrats in Brussels.
Lord Monkton is not a Roman Catholic.
He thinks Global warming is a myth.And he has the evidence to prove it.

Donald Trump has lots of company.
A pope who doesn’t even believe in God.
Too many long for the times when the Church was pre-eminent politically. Too many Church people are ignorant of natural (God’s) laws of physics and economics.
I wish this Pope would just shut up. His left wing hypocrisy is stunning.
Oh, piff.
They need to be shown that Trump's and the conservative's way is "sustainable" policy in nations that are constantly interfering and letting greed muck up the works.
Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and property, and you need not give alms. Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue, and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands.
In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile, to the industrious, brave, and persevering.
We are not seeking profit you half wit leftist. We are seeking to warm people in the winter. Cool them in the summer. And keep their food safe from spoilage. You on the other hand, have no idea how many degrees you even need to cool the Earth.
How many divisions has the pope got?
I AM Catholic and agree with you 100%.
Hey Pope GFYS.
We’re a sovern nation and as such can do what we please.
You too??
