Global bishops call for 'complete decarbonisation' by 2050

Vatican City (AFP) - Bishops launched a global appeal Monday for a breakthrough at upcoming Paris climate talks, including a "complete decarbonisation" of the world's economy and more help for poor countries battling the effects of climate change.

The bishops said any agreement "should limit global temperature increases to avoid catastrophic climatic impacts, especially on the most vulnerable communities".

From across five continents they called "not only for 'drastic reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide and other toxic gasses', but also for ending the fossil fuel era".

The goal should be "complete decarbonisation by mid-century, in order to protect frontline communities suffering from the impacts of climate change, such as those in the Pacific Islands and in coastal regions".

The November 30-December 11 conference in Paris will be the culmination of six years of work since the ill-fated 2009 Copenhagen climate summit, which failed to lock down significant agreements.

Their heads are filled with the cheap cliches and foolish, mindless slogans of the global-warming fascists.

The largest component of the “greenhouse” effect is water vapor. What a scam.

The fix is in.
All law suits for past child abuse vanish if the Catholic Church backs Global Warming and Immigration push.

Get back to me when Vatican City heats only with windmills and solar cells. And they destroy their jets, etc.

to their defense, you don't think the Presbyterians etc are pushing the same stuff?...

I was amazed the other day when I read that the Mormon church was going along with the homosexual marriage thing....

hand it to the Mormon church though...they knew when to change their beliefs if it meant continued tax exemptions....the Catholic church is just catching up....

Global Warming/Climate Change is a scam created to redistribute the worlds wealth and to implement draconian controls on the little people, and to see the catholic church involved tells us just how far the dark side has penetrated/infiltrated society. Mystery Babylon is a mystery because so few people see the truth of the NWO.

No problem....trees produce carbon dioxide while they respire in the absence of light(night). So they gotta go, too.

Sounds like a plea to the Oil Companies to BAN Vatican City and ALL employees from using their products, maybe Italy should SHUT OFF THEIR ELECTRICITY ALSO!

Follow the leaders just like kids. I am coming to the belief that many clergy are a lot like politicians. They want to be loved and adored, they want the honors and the best places at the banquet tables just as Jesus said.
