VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Saturday called on lawmakers worldwide to overcome “the narrow confines” of partisan politics to quickly reach consensus on fighting climate change.
“To meet this challenge, everyone has a role to play,″ Francis told the visiting lawmakers from many countries. ”That of political and government leaders is especially important, and indeed crucial.”
Before his speech, Francis gave a private audience to Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“His Holiness’s leadership is a source of joy and hope for Catholics and for all people, challenging each of us to be good stewards of God’s creation, to act on climate, to embrace the refugee, the immigrant and the poor, and to recognize the dignity and divinity in everyone,” Pelosi said in a statement after her audience with Francis.
She called the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical exhorting people to protect the environment “a powerful challenge to the global community to act decisively on the climate crisis with special attention to the most vulnerable communities.”
During their encounter, Pelosi expressed gratitude “for the immense moral clarity and urgency that His Holiness continues to bring to the climate crisis,” the statement said.

Let me fix it to what it SHOULD be:

“China produced 3.84 billion tonnes of coal in 2020”

That’s about 23,000 pounds of coal per American per year.
Pope Greta I.
Dearest 💩, err sorry I meant Pope: If you believe in GOD, which you don’t, HE made the Earth flood. HE controls the climate, not man, you moronic idiot jackass!!
The blowing of smoke when a Pope is selected is a symbolic warning apparently.
The "Church" loves him...the Catholic church has been and is the home for left wing nut jobs.
No big political decision ever needs to be made quickly, save a declaration of war after having been attacked. No good EVER comes from being rushed, especially by Socialists...which explains exactly why this Communist is in favor of it.
I’m not a Catholic, so I am not qualified to make such
a global determination.

Global in the sense of all inclusive of Catholicism, not
planetary.
I have worked in many places in the world and lived and worked in several Latin American countries where the Catholic church is all-powerful and influences every level of culture.
Take my word for it, the church is happy with keeping the peasant class down and clinging to the church...like all good liberals want.
I can show you photos of anti-mine murals painted on the walls of a local village church...complex “art” that took days to complete and could not have happened without permission from the resident priest.
This mine would have provided high paying jobs for many subsistence peasants in the region...for a couple of generations, plus, would have taught high level industrial skills allowing the locals to have a chance at moving to middle class economics.
The Catholic church consistently backs left wing politics, and to be fair, in my experience, most churches in the third world back the left.
I hope God replaces this twit soon.
I think there is a misunderstood air around some people who
think Christ was Marxist like.
He wasn’t.
It leads them to buy off on some things they shouldn’t.
