ROME — The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore romano dedicated an entire page to spreading climate alarmism Monday, with stories on the cost of 2021 weather disasters, deforestation in Amazonia, the melting of the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, and “devastating” fires in Colorado, all of which would be due to manmade global warming.
“The ten worst weather disasters of 2021 caused a total of $170 billion in damage worldwide, a figure up from 2020 and reflecting the growing impact of global warming,” the newspaper declares.
“Last year, the amount of economic damage from the 10 most expensive weather events was calculated at nearly $150 billion by experts, who point out that most estimates ‘are based solely on insured damages, which suggests even higher real costs,’” the article laments.
“The costliest disaster was Storm Ida (which occurred in late August and early September), which resulted in flooding in New York City at an estimated cost of $65 billion, the article states, while adding that “some of the most devastating extreme weather events of 2021 have affected poor countries, which have contributed little to the causes of climate change.”

Good to know the Catholic Church has no more important problems to worry itself about.

Did they take into account that prices of materials soared from 2020-2021 due to the supply chain mess? I bet they didn’t.
Really? I thought deforestation in Brazil was due to logging. As to the other two, I haven't seen the evidence for global warming as being the cause on either event. Blaming fires in CO on weather might actually have been caused by events similar to that in CA...poor land management.
Rome jumped on the Climate Change wagon a long time ago.....”Cha- Ching, cha-ching”.....it falls in nicely with their institution as a world money laundering entity.
Which is why world leaders want to be seen meeting the Pope.
Yup. Discovered that a few years back when my mom passed.
Does the Catholic Church support the work of arsonists?
