Pope Francis on Saturday issued an urgent call to action to defend the planet and help the poor in his second TED talk. […]
“We have just a few years — scientists calculate roughly fewer than 30 — to drastically reduce the emissions of gas and the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere,” the pope said, adding that the transition needs to take into account the impact on the poor, local populations and those who work in the energy sector.
He called on investors to exclude companies that do not taking into account the environment, as have many faith-based organizations already have.
“In fact, the earth must be taken care of, cultivated and protected; we cannot continue to squeeze it like an orange. And we can say this: taking care of the Earth is a human right,” Francis said. …

Well said. I think the Pope’s just a bit out of his depth.
Let's think about it a bit.
Volcanoes for example....this thing bubbles up and explodes and the juice flows down covering cities with fiery molten and filling the sky with all kinds of cr**. Kinda like squeezing an orange with an hydraulic press. And guess who permitted it....God!!
He can hardly speak English. He can only read what is on the paper in front of him.
We need to defend the planet....against False Prophets like Francis.
Bad enough what he writes in other languages.
But it can be raped like a catholic alter boy
First, Nancy wears her orange jumpsuit.
Now, her Pope mentions orange.
Who else is going to wear/mention orange?
Or does the color/fruit coordination end with San Fran Nan and her Pope?
Puny mortal humans cannot control the entire climate of a planet. This pope is an extreme example of humanist hubris.
But it can be cracked like an egg to make omelletes you freaking commie Pope
When does this Pope talk about the Bible?
Good question.
September 30 (feast of St. Jerome) at least the past two years-and he has said some good things.
While this may not be one of his best, I agree that the Earth cannot be squeezed like an orange.
Neither can it be plucked like a guitar.
Nor can it be gutted like a trout!!!!
Two years ago, AOC (the Annoying Oblivious-Commie) said we only had 12 years. Thanks to Trump we now have 30 years to go, a gain of one decade each year. Give Trump four more years, and we’ll have enough time left to replace fossil fuels completely and at no economic cost!
What an idiot.
The Pope is a kook.
Earth juice!!!
With his track record, would you trust him to do that correctly?
Haha - thanks for giving me hope!
Name one of them, Frank. You can't can you? You should be on CNN with the other parrots.
No. But wondering...he’s supposed to.
This sounds good. But I can’t understand the math, not that it isn’t correct, I just don’t get math stuff.
