Members of the Cult of Climastrology, mostly comprised of far left Progressives (nice fascists) are thrilled by what the Pope will supposedly say regarding Hotcoldwetdry
(Guardian) Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.
Francis also called for a new global political authority tasked with “tackling … the reduction of pollution and the development of poor countries and regions”. His appeal echoed that of his predecessor, pope Benedict XVI, who in a 2009 encyclical proposed a kind of super-UN to deal with the world’s economic problems and injustices.
So, more global governance, more control of people’s lives. Authoritarianism.
According to the lengthy draft, which was obtained and published by L’Espresso magazine, the Argentinean pope will align himself with the environmental movement and its objectives. While accepting that there may be some natural causes of global warming, the pope will also state that climate change is mostly a man-made problem.
“Humanity is called to take note of the need for changes in lifestyle and changes in methods of production and consumption to combat this warming, or at least the human causes that produce and accentuate it,” he wrote in the draft. “Numerous scientific studies indicate that the greater part of the global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases … given off above all because of human activity.”
Will Pope Francis, and all those who are squeeing over this pronouncment, agree to give up their own modern lifestyles? No fossil fuels, no ice makers, only buying local, handwashing clothes, etc? How much power does Vatican City use? The encyclical blames fossils directly as part of the problem? Will the Pope cancel his upcoming fossil fueled airplane trips?
The leak has frustrated the Vatican’s elaborate rollout of the encyclical – a papal letter to bishops – on Thursday. Its release had been planned to come before the pope’s trip to the US, where he is due to address the United Nations as well as a joint meeting of Congress.
Huh. So he planned to blame fossil fuels right before taking that fossil fueled airplane trip. Weird, right?
The pope will also single out those obstructing solutions. In an apparent reference to climate-change deniers, the draft states: “The attitudes that stand in the way of a solution, even among believers, range from negation of the problem, to indifference, to convenient resignation or blind faith in technical solutions.”
I wonder if Pope Francis has ever heard the statement “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”? Of course, if he’s still taking fossil fueled flights, that would make him a denier, as it would all the other CoC members who haven’t gone carbon neutral.
I wonder if Pope Francis can explain this:
Doesn’t look like much, does it? A flat line going back from May 2016. If one continued back, they’d see a spike for around 16 years. Then a long slight cooling period. Then a big spike. Then a pause. All the way back to the Little Ice Age. The current Pause mostly invalidates the computer models of doomy warming, hence the reason for the 70+ excuses, along with the “adjustments” to past data.
But, hey, if Pope Francis is really into the loss of personal freedom to the Cult of Climastrology Progressives (nice fascists) based on junk science, he should start in his own life.
GOD himself is in control of this world and weather has been going up and down for melinium .
he don’t know his ass from a hole in the ground
he is meddling where he has no business
he should stick to trying to save souls
This pope is not a minister. He is just a radical politician.

And the Pope wrote....As the sun revolves around our flat earth, it tips sorta and we have day and night.........
The Pope has embarrassed himself and, with him, the Catholic Church. He is abetting one of the greatest scientific frauds of all time.
First we have a communist elected U.S. president, and now, we have a far-left wacko ‘elected’ Pope.
The world is upside down.
Time to start thinking of the Pope as just another advocate for the far left and for junk science. The role of the Pope is being diminished and it’s taking a turn towards advocacy politics. Catholics the world over should be enraged.
Even a moron would recognize the hypocrisy of a religious organization that call for all kinds of idiotic measures to combat "climate change" -- even while it is collectively one of the largest energy consumers in the history of mankind.
There. I said it.
But this Pope is, to put it mildly, nuts. There are more productive things he could do with his time and the Vatican's money, like, say, rooting out the small but very destructive number of homosexual pedophiles from the Catholic priesthood.
The Church has its own array problems, poverty in the developed countries today is the historical equivalent of unimaginable wealth, in the developed countries poverty has nothing to do with money, poverty in the third world is a direct result of government initiative, and of course the globe itself isn't warming at all and whatever it might be doing is not because of mankind.

Catholics are really really upset, but not really.
This guy gives new meaning to the formerly rhetorical question “Is the pope Catholic?”.
This pope is keenly interested in crushing the American economy. He, like Obama, views the U.S. as an evil entity that should be brought asunder in the shortest order possible.
In the 1980s, the U.S. President and the Pope teamed with other world leaders to bring down the Soviet Union and communism. Contrast that to today, as the current pope and White House occupant align in common cause to destroy this country.
I don't know much about the Bible...but isn't there something in there about a separation of powers? Caesar do his thing, and representatives of the Lord do theirs?
I wish Francis would direct his time and energy toward ending the slaughter of those who follow Christ.
as far as I know, the Roman Catholic never agreed to separation of church and state if it could achieve the upper hand.
Meanwhile the persecution of Christians all over the world is dramatically increasing,
And instead of talking about that, this Pope would rather be invited to the White House to be patted on the back by Obama for his religion of global warming,
You may be right. But, in one sense, for the Pope to associate his name and office with this tripe, the damage has already been done.
Obviously, the pope must excommunicate anyone who drives a truck, a car, a motorcycle or a scooter.
The pope must also demand that those sinful “riders” stop making donations to the Catholic Church — weekly and otherwise — because the Church will no longer accept money from “climate sinners”.
Skeeter and Francis are the new norm.
Bruce Jenner is appearing in his new television show beginning next week. In the promo he appears and says ‘I am the new NORM; WE are the new NORM!”
Jenner had almost 20 operations on his face in order to appear more feminine. Is That the new NORM?
Let’s all get together and fight this Obama caused descent
into hell and the ruination of America.
He forgot the way.
