Francis makes it "very clear" that climate alarmism is "not a partisan issue," the German economist Ottmar Edenhofer told leftwing TheGuardian.com (January 15).
A former Jesuit, and professor of “Economics of Climate Change” in Berlin, Edenhofer was appointed as an advisor of the Vatican's Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.
In the Vatican, Edenhofer plans to propagate “climate refugees” and the idea that rich countries which are "more responsible" for toxic emissions should pay money to poor countries.
Francis is for him an important influencer, "We cannot underestimate that the pope is basically speaking for 1.3 billion people.” Edenhofer is convinced that Francis’ climate apostolate is also important for Evangelicals who have a "huge problem" to recognise climate change as an important issue, because they see this as a “western European leftwing agenda.”
But Edenhofer insists that Francis “makes it very clear” that this is not a “partisan issue.” He explains that "the Catholic Church" allegedly represents “socially conservative people” and therefore “it is important that the Church can speak to these people.”
Edenhofer has given up hope to convince “climate deniers” like Donald Trump, “But other leaders like Joe Biden, and also in China leaders are convinced.”

Frank need to go back to his naughtZee pals in Argentina. I remember a time when the pope garnered respect. Now, not so much.
” I remember a time when the pope garnered respect. Now, not so much.”
I’m Catholic, and I can’t stand this SOB.
But Francis is a leftist, so...
Almost certainly put in place by Obama masterminded underhanded Coup.
Unworkable “climate” restrictions (such as electric cars and “renewables”) ARE a leftist agenda!!!! And the leftist pope does NOT represent all 1.3 billion Roman Catholics!!!!
The false prophet speaks. Poope Frankie is a fraud. Wake up Catholics! Unless you want to go to hell in a handbasket.
I remember some of the articles at the time and it was a slick engineered coup like nomination.
‘Climate Alarmism’ is a ploy to prevent the United States from dominating the global supply of oil and gas. The US has more than 10 times the petroleum reserves of Saudi Arabia and its natural gas reserves dwarf the rest of the planet. Has nothing to do with environmental protection.
US energy independence and surplus production threaten the hold on energy markets by oil magnates. Climate Change is a political countermeasure to restrict who and who are not allowed market control.
Control of energy markets is joined with control of international banking.
Oh he does?
The Pope is very Left leaning, so that would be a cool
trick if it was true. It isn’t.

I hadn’t had much dealing with the Catholic church in years but my mom and sister are both Catholic and when my mom passed a couple years ago I interacted with some of the folks at her chosen church in Florida. WOW! They sure seemed to be uber politcally correct to the point of, uh, what is your purpose here? I could be incorrect in my assessment. Seemed less churchy and more preachy. Whatever that means.
P.S. For Easter of 1963 a couple friends and I went to St. Peters square to see Pope John XXIII. Our folks were stationed/lived in London and we had the chance to go so we did. None of the 3 of us were Catholic but to be in his presence was pretty awesome.
Well it might, if Francis wasn’t a commie.
Slight correction. Title should be:
“Francis Shows That Climate Alarmism Is a Leftwing Cause”
In the Communist Pope's case, it's all about his help in spreading Communism!
Good job there Frankie!
The Jesuit has spoken.
Head shake.
Leftist calling the pot black.
I wish there were a “like” button here.
The lampstand is gone.
