Pope Says Pandemic Is ‘Certainly Nature’s Response’ to Global Warming

ROME — Pope Francis said he believes the Chinese coronavirus pandemic is “certainly nature’s response” to humanity’s failure to address the “partial catastrophes” wrought by human-induced climate change.

Asked by British journalist Austen Ivereigh whether the COVID-19 crisis is an opportunity for an “ecological conversion,” the pontiff reasserted his belief that humanity has provoked nature by not responding adequately to the climate crisis.

“There is an expression in Spanish: ‘God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives,’” Francis said in the interview published Wednesday. “We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that a year and a half ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods?”

“I don’t know if it is nature’s revenge, but it is certainly nature’s response,” he added.

...Nature’s Response’ to Global Warming...

Even the purveyors of the global warming myth have dropped it; it is now climate change. Perhaps the Pope did not get the word.

Later on he was talking about the area that would become the British Isles. He talked about how it was a lovely climate because "it was three degrees warmer then".

Remember, a lot of those guys talk in Celsius.

Does not matter.

He was going on about how any warm would ruin the world then admitted that it was warmer in the past then it is now and that it was great.

Be consistent.
