With Gift and in Conversation, Vatican Presses Trump on Climate Change
NY Times ^ | May 24, 2017 | MARK LANDLER and JASON HOROWITZ

Pope Francis put climate change on the agenda of his first meeting with President Trump on Wednesday, and the subject is likely to come up again and again in the president’s encounters with other world leaders in the coming days.

That could put Mr. Trump on the back foot after what had been an energetic swing through the Middle East. The pope presented the president with a copy of his influential encyclical on preserving the environment, while in a broader meeting, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, urged Mr. Trump not to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord.

Mr. Trump told his Vatican hosts that he would not make a final decision until after he returned to the United States, despite some expectations that he could announce a decision at the Group of 7 summit meeting in Italy this weekend.

The pope thinks that climate change, not Muslim terrorism is the greatest threat.

I hope Trump ignores his advice.

President Trump had BETTER ignore this unmitigated horse poop! If he caves, even a little bit, that’s a deal breaker and then some!

Satan continues to scourge us viciously.

Lord, look not upon our sins, but have mercy. Strike down your enemy.

DJT is well aware that Francis was installed in the same coup that zero, Merkel, etc were. The Vatican has its deep state to overcome, as everybody does.

It is custom for a Pope to give signed copies of their treatises. The gift he gave Trump was a signed copy of a speech he gave on the subject of peace and a olive branch medallion. Stop reading the NYSlimes.

Does it not concern any Catholics that this pope is more interested in global warming than he seems to be about getting out the gospel message?

Unbelievable.

Vatican Presses Trump on Climate Change
This from the group that blows smoke (in more ways than one) when a Pope is chosen.

Trump is aware that this man is a fool. He will treat the Pope with respect, of course. But President Trump will not be influenced on this matter.

I’m pretty ticked Trump stalled on the stupid Paris thing. Now if he keeps his promise (which seems increasingly doubtful-thanks Ivanka) he will be attacked for ignoring the worlds leaders and now the Pope. It would have been moot if he had done it immediately as he Promised.

Did Trump remind the Pope that Galileo was nearly executed because Pope Urban VII rejected Galileo’s science, which proved that the Earth revolves around the Sun?

No?

Did Trump remind the Pope that 97% of the professional Marine Engineers in 1907 believed that the RMS Titanic was “un-sinkable?

No?

Did Trump remind the Pope that the alarmists’ simplistic model: “Increase CO2 = Increase Temperature” has been proved false by the past 17 years of a temperature “pause”?

No?

Hmmm....

When did the “Peter Principle” infect the Vatican?
