VATICAN CITY, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday the response to climate change would require a radical change in how people live as she met Pope Francis during a farewell visit to the Vatican and Italy.

Francis and other religious leaders made a joint appeal on Monday for next month's U.N. Climate Change Conference COP26 to offer concrete solutions to save the planet from "an unprecedented ecological crisis". read more

Merkel praised the pope's position.

"Humanity's response to climate change will require a radical change in our way of living," she told reporters after the pair also discussed biodiversity, the future of the European Union, world conflicts and sexual abuse in the Church.

Merkel and Francis, who have met several times before, spoke privately in the papal library of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace for about 45 minutes.

In an interview with a Spanish radio network last month, Francis called Merkel, who has led Germany for 16 years, "one of the world's greatest political figures"

It is sickening to see our world’s leaders expressing their attitudes. Vampires living in mansions with millions of peasants to feast upon. And instead of admitting that they are evil, as would a real vampire, they actually go around preaching to the peasants that the peasants are going to sacrifice a whole lot more. This is the new reset. This is the new world order. This is Communist China, George Soros, and Obama and their plan for the 21st Century.
