Speaker Tells Vatican Conference: Reducing Population is Best Solution to Climate ‘Crisis’

VATICAN, November 16, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — One of the main concerns about the Vatican’s frequent conferences on climate change in recent years has been that many of the invited speakers favor population control as a means to protecting the planet.

This became patently clear at a Pontifical Academy for Sciences seminar last week when a key speaker said “it’s a little ambitious” to think we can cut the population in half by 2050, but it is “smarter” to cull the number of people first, thereby making the move to renewable energy easier.

The November 2-4 conference, hosted at the prestigious Casina Pio IV in the Vatican Gardens, was entitled: Health of People, Health of Planet, and our responsibility: Climate change, air pollution and health.

Answering a question from the academy’s chancellor, Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, on whether there should be a “hierarchy” of solutions to address the “crisis” of climate change and global warming, Taiwanese professor Dr. Yuan-Tseh Lee welcomed the fact that the number of children entering elementary school in his native land has dropped from 400,000 to 200,000 since 1994. He called it “amazing.”

Bishop Sanchez had said in his question that he thought renewable energy came first in Lee’s hierarchy of solutions, but in his answer Lee said halving the population by 2050 would be his priority as it would significantly reduce consumption. “Then we [can] talk about renewable energy,” he said, which can be “easily” achieved.

there is no climate crisis, and we already reduced pollution.

“... but it is “smarter” to cull the number of people first...” “Cull is a very active verb. Does this mean that the Pope believes that governments should either start programs of genocide or that there should be massive wars to “cull” the number of people on the planet? Not very “popely” if you ask me.

You would think the Pontiff and his Vatican attendants would have a vested interest in encouraging the births of more babies from Christian families. Instead, they aid in their own extinction.

Go ahead and off yourself, then, for the good of humanity.
What? You’re still here? Oh, you mean OTHER people are in excess. Well I don’t deny that.

This is Nazi-esque.

Some kid(s) in school is learning this right now, will someday be in power and will implement this Final Climate Solution.

One assumes that this is a clear admission that ‘renewable energy’ is a colossal and utter failure, no?

Pray tell, just which demographic should we focus on “culling” according to the Vatican? Once again, another bunch of Whites concerned about overpopulation.

This Pope hates the Catholic faith. He does not believe in its teachings and has pushed ot into a state of de facto schism. Unless God intervenes, it will be in a state of actual schism within ten or fifteen years.

Guessing Francis is at the back of the culling line.

I call him Pope Che because he has more in common with Che Guevara than with St. Francis of Assisi.

I got a vasectomy at 29, now 58.
My parents already had their 4 grand kids and I had survived a couple of cruel women.
There is no shortage of people.
When population densities become too great mother nature will solve the problem herself.
