‘Red Alert for the White Giant’: Vatican Newspaper Draws Attention to Melting of Glacier
Catholic Culture ^ | 5/17/23

Posted on 05/18/2023 6:33:16 PM PDT by marshmallow

With the headline “Allarme rosso per il gigante bianco“ [Red alert for the white giant], L’Osservatore Romano devoted the most prominent front-page coverage in its May 16 edition to the receding of Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina’s Los Glaciares National Park.

The glacier “is in fact one of the few that grows constantly and moves, since between its bottom and the base there is a ‘cushion’ of water that makes it advance rapidly,” the Vatican newspaper reported. But now “the Perito Moreno is melting, with an erosion that has reached 300 meters in just two years, 2021 and 2022.”

“The melting of Perito Moreno is not an isolated case: several studies show that on all continents glaciers have shrunk by 2% in ten years,” the unsigned article concluded. “The cause we know well: climate changes. And for those, unfortunately, there is still no reduction.”

From the Vatican. Proof that it is a religion, not a “science.”

Should be more concerned about the third temple being built.

Al Sharpton is wondering if he needs to ‘say something’ to his congregation
about this big and bad ‘White Giant”?

“Is Italy sending the world some kind of coded message?”

I always turn to the Vatican for scientific advice and analysis.

Stupid question, I know, but why is the Vatican inserting itself in some thing that they know nothing about? I think they should be focusing instead on a problem that they have created and continue to foster. That is the fact that many people in the world, mostly, but not limited to, Mexico, central, and South America are giving birth to more children than they can afford to feed. And it’s been a problem for a long time. Flame if you desire, but don’t quote World Health Organization statistics or give me some BS stats off a Wikipedia website. I’ve seen it firsthand several times and it’s sad. The pope needs to write a check.

The Church needs to tackle the real “melting glacier”, that of pedophiles, Sodomites, tranny-worshippers, Marxists and Satanists threatening to destroy it.

Maybe the pope should ask God what size the glacier IS SUPPOSED TO BE, at any given time.

(Although I doubt that God ever actually talks to the pope, or vice versa.)

Lol…good point. It’s a common theme over many centuries.
