"That's a wonderful quote but a non-sequitur in this context, because it doesn't address climate change one way or the other." The Pope’s main job, imo, is to help fulfill Jesus' Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20.
Given Genesis 8:22, let God deal with the climate as He always has.
Yeah, we're pretty much in agreement on that. The pope made a serious mistake, I think, in stuffing so much non-magisterial (non-faith-and-morals) material into an magisterial document (Laudato Si). Opinions, policy recommendation, and even purported "facts" from geophysics, international finance, and even the exercise of papal ldimplomacy, are not magisterial. Plus, I don't think anybody in the human race is competent, at this point, to undertake geoengineering.
First let's do a trial run on another planet. Let's terraform Mars.
