Pope Francis Criticized the U.S. for Pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord

Pope Francis implicitly criticized the United States on Monday for pulling out of the Paris agreement on climate change, praising it as a means to control the devastating effects of global warming.

The U.S. is the only country out of 195 signatories to have withdrawn from the accord, which aims to cut emissions blamed for the rise in temperatures.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced the decision in June shortly after visiting the pope, a strong supporter of the deal. At the time a Vatican official said the move was a “slap in the face” for the pope and the Vatican.

Can you explain why you’re such a coward? You can’t answer a single question asked of you. You throw out links to obscure stories in the hopes that you can change people’s opinion to follow the cult, but when faced with direct questions, you run like a coward.

Go away, cultist. Nobody over here believes your cult worship. You belong at DU.

There’s no point in arguing with the cultist. He just keeps going and going and going. He’s so dead set against actually discussing anything. He believes, like the idiot he is, that the science is “settled” (and we all know that science is NEVER settled, otherwise, we’d not be researching faster-than-light propulsion, because the science of Gravity would be “settled”).

He’s a bitter cultist who saw his dreams of his cult rising to national prominence and conquering those who dare disbelieve his cult’s lies be punished, crumble before his eyes.

“In the US, the republicans hate scientists including those at the Academy, at colleges and Universities, and in the federal agencies.
In the GOP, the favorite scientists are PR men like Lord Monckton and Myron Ebell”

You don’t know what you are talking about.

There is no such thing as Global Warming Science. There are only time series models using fraudulent data. It has been shown over and over that the Global Warming narrative is fraudulent and serves no purpose other than to take money from U.S. taxpayers.

Al Gore is not a scientist. Hollywood movies like Inconvenient Truth are not science. Political propaganda, protests and slogans are not science.

Those men with the US Academy of Sciences are in the public record as are those on the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

At the university(s) are public record also

Are you a scientist? You certainly speak like you are an authority but I doubt that you went to college. You said I don't know what I am talking about but I imagine I am better educated in the sciences than you are. I don't know as much about it as Ms Kehoe at Texas Tech but I had 31 hours of college chemistry and many years experience in air pollution control and abatement.

Let's see your credentials Mr. Know it All.

The Pope and his advisors are in the mainstream, and you are not. 195 nations have signed on to the Paris agreement and only Syria and the Trump half of the US have not.

You don’t know what you are talking about.

You are just parroting the politically correct fraudulent narrative that is pushed by the media and politicians.

You failed to address any of my points.

You are either too ignorant, too dishonest and/or too cowardly to do so.

You don’t even understand the first thing about climate.

But I will give you a chance.

Please try to explain what you think global warming science really is. Explain how you think it works.

You are the one claiming to be an expert and claim you know more about that than those at the US Academy of Sciences or at the Vatican.

What have you published? Is there someone else that you rely on? What have they published?

I don't you know anything about global warming. I think you are PR man and a good bullshitter. But I'll listen or read what you have to say.
