To an extent you and I can agree that there have been incidents of environmental degredation, and we probably agree the problem is greed. The issue for the pontiff becomes one of how to address the greed without harming the poor? The United States and other energy consuming nations provide far greater food output per acre per farm worker than do the nations where less energy is expended. Energy has cut the cost - dramatically! - of the production of food - sowing, cultivating, harvesting, processing, transporting, marketing. And many farms, at least here in the USofA, operate on a graphene-thin layer of profit. Many years (over 20) ago, when I first became aware of deep ecology and its adherents and proponents, I learned of their goal to reduce the world's population to a few hundred million. And the Pope, bless his heart, unfortunately bought into that entire scam.

Fighting 'climate change' will starve a lot of poor people while making the elitists feel warm and fuzzy.

One guy who is clapping and cheering this encyclical is AlGore, who will be able to make a few more "bi$$ion$" by saying, You HAVE to go the carbon tax route - even the Pope agrees!

God’s creation cannot be destroyed by man, it is the height of arrogance to even suggest that it’s possible.
