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. …

Earth is not an orange, and the Pope is not Who he thinks he is.

Keep talking, Ted.

“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.”

Exactly the ones hurt most ... unless money is redistributed.

Yes, but YOUR version of the truth can, as well as your demonic tendencies. Worship Gaia much?

I’m sure Comrade Pope will free up some of the trillions from the Church’s treasure box to make it happen.

If the Pope really wants to do something about the planet & the poor, he should watch the movie “Kiss the Ground”. Yes, there is plenty of talk of climate change, yes there are actors in it; however, it makes total sense & is well put together. It’s a movement I’m already supporting (before I saw the movie).

Abundant food, returning the earth to an “eden”, reducing carbon by regenerating it through the soil & animals (like cows!!) .... terrific movie and worth your time. Lays out the case/plan very clearly.

The movie is showing on Netflix. Here’s the website:

The “pope” speaks from his inner Greta Thunberg.

I think God has a pretty good handle on just what the earth is capable of handling....afterall, He made it.

Good to hear that the Pope endorses fracking and nuclear power.

Focus on the things you’re supposed to know about, Francis.

If it’s based on a lie, then it’s not going to make sense.

When I first discovered TED talks, I was very enthusiastic about them, but after watching a few, I came to the conclusion that they were just for Leftists to stroke each other with.
