Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump said Thursday he thinks Pope Francis is wrong on climate change.
The pontiff, in the midst of a historic visit to the United States, expressed solidarity Wednesday with President Barack Obama about the need to act to prevent global warming, and said climate change is "a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation

But only Trump has the courage to do what others should be doing.
Trump is telling the truth. The Pope should not enter into the arena of government policy. Especially when what he is saying is totally wrong.
A first grader could refute the pope on climate change.
You can’t keep a bombastic New Yorker down for long!
Pretty sure Yeb is a "If you say so" guy.
The questions to be posed are: "What is the normal state of this planet? Is it a glaciated planet or an inter-glacial period? And how does one know which is 'normal'?"
There is no normal state aside from perpetual change. Climate is a non static, non linear mechanism.
The only normal thing in life, is change.
It is how you view change and react that is important.
You can view it negatively and over-react or react improperly.
You can recognize it for what it is and accommodate it into your life or your life around it.
Our core values and morals are the one constant. Even they can improve over time.
Change for the better is always the goal.
Take the lemons and make lemonade.
It would be sufficient to say “Hell yes, the climate is changing, and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it.”
Did I miss something in the Bible?
The Pope is only interested in “climate change” because of its wealth distribution from the US to everyone else. IOW when he sees his American flock he sees suckers.
Actually, climate change has been real over the history of our planet. It’s the political interpretation of human-caused climate change that is debatable.

I would pose the questions this way: (1) Is there global warming; (2) if so, are humans responsible; (3) if so, would the warming help or hurt us; and (4) if it would hurt us, would the economic cost of eliminating it hurt us more?
The Pope needs to tell Obama to shut down Planned Parenthood and that’s about it.
The more the Pope talks politics, the more I’m thinking he is, as Conspiracy Peeps have been saying about the Jesuits for decades, that the antiChrist will arise out of the Vatican.
If the Pope gets hurt, and then “miraculously recovers” in a hoaxed “miracle” or an actual real satanic miracle ala the Bible, then we’ll pretty much know what we are dealing with here. That Obama and the Pope had to fake 5 year old girl with the letter tells us the Elites are all into hoaxing the masses.
Jesus focussed on the condition of our hearts. Sin is a bi-partisan affliction. Why this Jesuit Pope is playing politics and lifting quotes from Obama’s prayer breakfast speech, I don’t know.
Climate change is a euphemism for one world economy, a carbon credit economy that guilt inflicts the population for using and needing energy... (this is despite the fact that energy is PLENTIFUL and we have been played for decades about it.) The Pope is showing his New World Order marching orders.
...at least not the good ones.....
Any politician who does not explicitly reject global warming is either too stupid to elect or too dishonest.

To consider your observation, change my question (4) to read as below: (1) Is there global warming; (2) if so, are humans responsible; (3) if so, would the warming help or hurt us; and (4) if it would hurt us, would the economic cost, or loss of political freedom, involved in eliminating it hurt us more?
You need to add a 5th question:
(5) Why are all the economic costs of trying to change "global warming" being foisted on us when the Chinese are the ones causing most of the pollution that supposedly causes "global warming"? Wouldn't it be better to make the Chinese clean up their polluters first?
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite. - Eisenhower’s Farewell Address
Why would Trump respond to anything this charlatan says? Why is pope even discussing this? He needs to stick to his cult-specific issues.
