Pope Francis: The world is near ‘suicide’ on climate change; ‘it’s now or never’
Washington Post ^ | Nov 30, 2015 | Niraj Chokshi

Posted on 11/30/2015 2:46:35 PM PST by bkopto

Environmental negotiators meeting in Paris should strike a climate change deal to save a world "at the limits of suicide," Pope Francis said on Monday.

"I am not sure, but I can say to you 'now or never'," he told a group of reporters aboard the papal plane, en route home from Africa, according to Reuters. "Every year the problems are getting worse. We are at the limits. If I may use a strong word I would say that we are at the limits of suicide."

The comments come at the start of a United Nations-sponsored environmental summit in Paris, which nearly 150 world leaders are expected to attend.

Politicians have generally "done little" to deal with the growing problem, Francis said, according to the National Catholic Reporter.

"I am sure they have the good will to do it. And I wish that it will be so, and I pray for this," he said.

Worse, because he pretends to be a Man of God.

Hey, Mr. Pope, China and India first.

We don’t do smokestack industries anymore.

When this pope is so wrong about everything else, how can anyone trust him with religion?

My Bible speaks against the oppression of people, Mr. Green Commie Pope. . . I think you are as big a fraud as President barack obama.

He’s absolutely right. The Global Warming scam is nearing the end times, and if they don’t push something through, soon, they never will.

And they’ll have lost their last, best chance of imposing global collectivism on the world.

This guy is batty in the belfry. A senile 78 year old nut case.

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha

You thought it was joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right? You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad.

And they're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away ha ha...
