Global Warming? The Pope is Wrong
April 27, 2015
Alan Caruba
My thoughts regarding the Pope are rooted in my knowledge of the long record of lies, false predictions, and claims by various environmentalists over the years.
When the Vatican announced it would hold a conference on April 28 called “Protect the Earth, Dignify Humanity: The Moral Dimensions of Climate Change and Sustainable Development”, I wondered why the Vatican is not holding a conference to organize the protection of Christians—particularly in the Middle East—against the wholesale genocide that is occurring. The Pope is not alone in this. There appears to be little urgency in addressing a threat comparable to the Holocaust of the last century that consigned six million Jews to death for being Jews.
I frankly do not know what is meant by “the moral dimensions of climate change.” Climate change is something that was occurring long before there was a human population on planet Earth. It is the measurement of the previous global cycles through which the Earth has passed for billions of years. It is profoundly natural. Applying a moral dimension to it makes no sense whatever.
As for “sustainable development”, that is a term that environmentalists use to deny any development that benefits the human population.
At the heart of environmentalism, however, is a deep disdain and antagonism to the human race. From its earliest advocates, one can find allusions to humanity as “a cancer” on the Earth. The Catholic Church has been an advocate for the human race, most notably opposing abortion that kills humans in the womb. Its charitable work is legendary.
The Green’s response to the voices of those scientists who courageously spoke out to debunk their lies has been to denounce and try to silence them. There is no science to support the global warming hoax.
The rest of the history

I don’t know how the Pope can reconcile anti-abortion and anti-birth control with environmentalism. If people are a plague on the earth as many environmentalists believe, then the growth of mankind must be restrained. How else to achieve that except by birth control and abortion? Does the Pope believe billions of people are suddenly going to start using natural family planning or abstain from sex?
Scripture itself says the world will wear out like a used garment and be destroyed. Perhaps saving souls is more important than saving trees...
This pope is a doofus.
I don't believe there will be a 'next pope'.
Best answer; climate change is God’s Will.
Well, that means you believe The End is near. If you’re a Catholic, that is.
All the “science” a person needs to know is:
What was the temperature of the Earth 20 years ago?
What is the temperature of the Earth now?
Regardless of how many people around him are manipulating and isolating him, if the Pope has not INDEPENDENTLY thought to ask these two questions, then he’s totally, thoroughly intellectually dishonest. And there’s no evidence that he has thought to ask these two questions.
As a practicing Catholic, me thinks he should focus more on worshiping the Creator rather than the Creation.
What makes me cross is the Vatican’s efforts to silence dissenting viewpoints on a scientific and at most prudential matter at the recent conference. You’ld have thought they might have learned their lesson from the Galileo incident.
The Pope is joining the religion of environmentalism. It believes that the natural world is god. The gods and goddesses of the earth, of nature, were the old rulers of the ancient world. It is Primitivism and Utopianism that are the heart of modern Liberalism, and most certainly are the roots of the Green movement. The Greens want to return the Earth to a mythical pristine paradise, to expunge the “plague” of industrialism and bring back the forgotten Eden which we have despoiled.
Primitivism is outside the Christian tradition of rationalism, the heritage of Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, William of Occam, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, etc., and of the older Jewish tradition of scholarship and philosophy, as well as many of the Greek philosophers such as Aristotle. That is why see anthropocentric global warming primitivist making up the science to justify their beliefs. It reject the intellect in favor of emotionalism and historical reality in favor of myth.
Utopianism is the myth or memory of a distant past when humankind lived in a primitive and simple state, but at the same time one of perfect happiness and fulfillment. This perfect state is one where man reaches his godhood where nature responds to his needs. It is a desire to return to those those days when there was an instinctive harmony between humanity and nature. The eco-utopians want to return to that utopian harmony where nature provides in abundance and man lives as the original hunter gatherer he was designed to be.
There is a vain mythology that man can control nature
You have nailed it. The Pope believes that when man returns to that natural harmony with nature, he becomes as a god to control nature. That is quite a myth as the basis for his eco-utopian religion.
Maybe the ancient prediction will be right—and this Pope will be the very last one. Maybe the Vatican will just close up shop and the Chatolic Church will go the way of Jupiter and Venus, Isis and Osiris. Maybe all that will be left is the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Baptists.
Not the first pope to jump on the “we gotta save the Earth” bandwagon. Just the first to have so many slapping him around.
It is, because a change in climate is simply inevitable, and we aren’t going to stop the global fire. Fwiw, where’s the prediction years ago that the floods in Texas Rivers would happen last week? That’s right, it never happened, instead, they say some vague statement about some disaster happening then say after the fact that they predicted it, complete &;;@:&:&, I tell you .
We are having “global warming.” Just as a prayerful blessing is like putting hot coals upon an evil man’s head, the increased presence of the Holy Spirit is warning things up in this world.
It’s going to get hot enough around here for the “weeds to be burned.”
The minions see it coming and are not happy about it.
If the globe is indeed warming it is because God is pissed off. He is just giving humanity a preview of what hell is going to be like. So keep on placating, liberals, perverts, the gaystapo, heathens, monsters, murderers and the like and are really going to see how hot it is going to get.
ITs seriously beginning to look like Pope Francis is Obamas inside man at the Vatican.
Quote and link, please.
Ancient predictions... are you a Malachy devotee?
Malachy was a gifted seer. Maybe too right when it cane to the Popes.
Eco-thought: save the earth...by reducing the population...to 400 million people.
