Pope Francis Calls on Nations to ‘End the Era of Fossil Fuel’
Pope Francis has doubled down in his personal war on fossil fuels while condemning “extreme practices” such as fracking.
It is time world leaders to “listen to science and institute a rapid and equitable transition to end the era of fossil fuel,” the pontiff urges in his message for the Feast of Creation, to be celebrated on September 1.
It is “absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures,” he insists. “Let us raise our voices to halt this injustice towards the poor and towards our children, who will bear the worst effects of climate change.”
“The unrestrained burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of forests are pushing temperatures higher and leading to massive droughts,” the pope declares, a product of “consumerist greed, fueled by selfish hearts.
Moreover, he states, “predatory industries are depleting and polluting our freshwater sources through extreme practices such as fracking for oil and gas extraction, unchecked mega-mining projects, and intensive animal farming.”
As he has declared on other occasions, Francis insists that “richer nations have contracted an ‘ecological debt’ that must be paid” to poorer nations.

Have all Catholic churches have guards to enforce signs “EV Parking Only. Others Will Be Towed.”
Then see how quickly attendance drops-——and cash flow.
Real sign that used to be near here.
Church Parking Only. Others Will Be Towed. Forgiven but Towed.”

Because Jesus died on the Cross to keep people in extreme poverty. So ashamed to be Catholic.

Just freeze to death, die from heat, don’t cook your food, and don’t go anywhere.
NO. There are no better financially affordable, viable alternatives. Until that time, NO.
I’ll be the first to buy a small thorium nuclear reactor/power cell for home use if they make it affordable.
