ASSISI, Italy (AP) — Pope Francis, visiting Assisi, the birthplace of his namesake saint who was close to nature, called on Saturday for “courage” in abandoning fossil fuels and lamented that older generations didn’t know how to protect the planet and secure peace,
He told young people he was pinning his hopes on their efforts in working to save the planet and to make the world’s economy more attentive to the poor.
During his brief visit Saturday to the hill town in central Italy, Francis spoke to a gathering of some 1,000 young people, some of them young economists. Others are involved in efforts including start-ups, focused on helping the environment.
The pope said a world economy is needed that expresses “a new vision of the environment and the Earth.”
The pontiff cited an urgent need to discuss models of development.
“Now is the time for new courage in abandoning fossil fuels to accelerate the development of zero- or positive-impact sources of energy,” Francis said.
He told the young people: “Our generation has left you with a rich heritage, but we have not known how to protect the planet and are not securing peace.”

“Pope appeals to the young to save the planet, find peace”
Seems to me that he should be appealing to the old windbags running DC these days.
how about seek out God, and ignore the commies and woke crowd?
naaaa that’s too traditional!
This pope needs to save the planet and become fertilizer already
Very....End Times...of him.
I tried to save the planet. I told the planet that it needed Jesus. It just spins.
Save the Planet? The Planet is Fine....The People though, that’s another issue.
Yo! Frankeeeee. Shut the hell up!
the pope is probably one of the most ignorant people on the planet.
“called on Saturday for “courage” in abandoning fossil fuels and lamented that older generations didn’t know how to protect the planet and secure peace”
Translation: Find the courage to destroy the world economy all for the benefit of China so the world can be ruled by a genocidal regime.
The Pope is a Commie.
Jesus? Did he happen to mention Jesus?
The Pope must diet.
C’mon man - I’m sure he has a thorough understanding of all the complex variables involved in climate dynamics /s
It’s utterly ludicrous isn’t it. I found an article in a newspaper from 1912 warning people of global warming from carbon. This “climate change” alarmist crap has been going literally for 110 YEARS!! And how many times have they been telling us “only 10 or 12 years left before the point of no return”? It’s a total HOAX!! Most record high temperatures in the USA in each state were set in the 1930s or earlier..If the temperature is rising how is that possible?

Didn’t Pelosi already save the planet?
When winter comes to Europe we’ll be sacrificing a lot of humans to the earth goddess.
Best thing he can do for the planet is to leave it.
Fossil fuels already saved the planet
But I guess you all will burn your forests down this winter to keep Europe warn.
You are all colossal liars.
Get a different pope
