It seems Pope Francis has learned little since his 2015 encyclical calling on the world to fight climate change by limiting the use of modern technologies and fossil fuels. He called many of the world’s leading oil companies to the carpet last week in a meeting he “requested” (anyone who says no to a meeting with the pope risks alienating many of the world’s estimated 1.3 billion Catholics) with the companies’ top executives. Francis called on the oil companies to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, to save the Earth.
In a column written when Francis issued his encyclical, titled “Pope Francis: Before One Can Know What Is Moral, He Must Know What Is True,” a colleague of mine detailed myriad misguided or mistaken beliefs about climate science Francis received from climate alarmists and takes on faith as if they were holy writ. I won’t go into the science here, other than to say the paper still holds up well.
Francis’ views of the certainty of and danger from human caused climate change are false, and his belief the world can quickly abandon fossil fuels and still reduce hunger and poverty is potentially deadly.
Fossil fuels have been a boon to the world, lifting billions of people out of poverty and hunger, powering lighting, transportation, refrigeration, clean water, modern agriculture (including food delivery, storage, and protection from early decay and pests), indoor air conditioning and heating, cooking, and the multitude of other technologies upon which modern societies are based. In attacking fossil fuels, Francis undermines the use of the very resources and technologies most responsible for raising billions of people from penury. Coal, natural gas, and oil will continue to be vital to increasing lifespans, decreasing infant mortality, improving nutrition, and helping humans flourish for decades to come....

The Pope has his brain saturated with theology. He has no science
“Pope Hates Essential Human Flourishing”
Fixed it.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
South American Jesuit SJW sack of ****.
commie pope
I don't see that there is much theology in there, either.
Whose Theology? His? Even he admits that he doesn’t really understand the Bible much. Where does he get his theology?

Correction: The Pope has is saturated with theology. He has no science
You go to far in reference to a brain. Clearly this Pope is not to be regarded as a rigorous thinker. Rather as a thirld world byproduct of Marxist anti colonialist hysteria he thinks as trained. Which is to say he adheres to the underdeveloped and unchecked ideology of his youth. The Vicar of Christ is a third world intellectual lightweight who may or may not believe that Christ rose from the dead.

You must have forgotten to post the customary Sarc Alert, since he obviously DOES have science, but is theologically deficient...
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences advises the Pope on matters of science.
NYC mayor IIRC was suing oil companies about their role in global warming. The judge asked about the city vehicles in front of the courthouse and the vehicle’s role in global warming by buying the fuel.
LOL

The way to look at it is that the bombing of German cities during WWII was relatively ineffective militarily - but the bombing of German fuel infrastructure put a serious crimp on German military capability.If Al Gore or any of his ilk want to take us back to the Stone Age, they should do exactly what they have been doing. And I don’t assume they are stupid enough not to know it.
This effort, by a toxic union of billionaire rentseekers and totalitarian marxists, to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. It did not turn out well for them then. It will not turn out well now.
Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move.
And as if that ain’t enough in some 4.5 billion years the damn thing is going to swell up to thousands of times it’s current size and kill us all. Assuming of course we specks are still here.

Maybe but I think the man needs a Bible.
He is an idiot. First it is unrepentant homos will go to heaven. Then atheists will go to heaven based on their WORKS!!! NOTE to stupid pope: NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE goes to heaven based on their works. You go only on belief that Christ died, was buried and rose from the dead. Hey pope try reading the Bible you seem to ignore. Check out 1 Corinthians 15: verses 1-4. THOSE clearly cover the Gospel of Grace pope!! The guy is an idiot.
Obama and American Lefties are the same.
As Jordan Peterson said (paraphrasing Jung), "people don't have ideas...ideas have people."
