Pope: Climate change a moral issue and due to human activity

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis says most climate change is due to human activity and calls it one of the most important moral issues facing society, according to a draft leaked Monday of his long-awaited encyclical on global warming.

The 191-page draft says the problem needs urgent action and is a key issue related to development and poverty.

The leaked draft in Italian was posted online Monday by L'Espresso magazine, prompting consternation from the Vatican. The final document is scheduled to be released Thursday. The Vatican asked journalists to "respect professional standards" and await the final text.

The pope describes a "scientific consensus … (about a) worrisome warming of the climate system."

The pope's encyclical, or teaching letter, on the environment will be disseminated to the world's 1.2 billion Catholics and could influence the United Nations conference on climate change being held in December in Paris. More than 190 nations at the conference will try to reach an agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

"We expect the papal encyclical to have a major impact during a very critical year in this (climate negotiation) process," the U.N.'s top climate official, Christiana Figueres, said last week in Bonn, Germany.

Pope Francis, Defender of Our Mother Earth

Pope Francis, Catholic on a climate crusade.​

At the start of the draft essay, the pope wrote, the Earth “is protesting for the wrong that we are doing to her, because of the irresponsible use and abuse of the goods that God has placed on her. We have grown up thinking that we were her owners and dominators, authorised to loot her. The violence that exists in the human heart, wounded by sin, is also manifest in the symptoms of illness that we see in the Earth, the water, the air and in living things.”

The Blue Pope™ was a chemist prior to entering the seminary. So he probably has a leg up on Santorum, science-wise. And several legs up on Santorum, holiness-wise.

Although I will give Santorum the prize for sanctimony.

lets see him declare all this in November when we will all be freezing our vital body parts off.

He had a degree in chemistry in the 1950s. I dont think that qualifes anyone to talk about climate change in the 21st century.
He is obviously a communist and needs to be burned as a heretic.

maybe the pope can explain the winter of 2014/2015? being he seems to know it all.

Pope Francis Climate Change Encyclical Leaked Four Days Early

I don't know what to say. I will continue to go to Church, but as far as this Pope is concerned, I am just going to ignore everything he says from now on.

It means he understands the scientific method and the rigors of empirical evidence required to support a scientific theory.

Better than Santorum.

Maybe "science should be left to the scientists" but the word "scientist" is a nice generic term that the radical left doesn't have to think about it. How much of a science background did the guru of global warming, Al Gore have? The Pope might be an honorable man but he is in way over his head trying to compete on a geo-political scale with the propaganda experts. Maybe the climate is changing and maybe the world is getting cooler but blaming the Sun wouldn't advance any political agenda or put a buck in in a hypocrite's pocket so they are stuck with the "warming" stuff.

The fact that he signed on to global warming indicates the exact opposite. No one with a knowledge of the scientific method believes in global warming.

Global Analysis - December 2014 National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI

• The December 2014 average combined global land and ocean surface temperature was record high in the 135-year period of record, at 0.77°C (1.39°F) above the 20th century average of 12.2°C (54.0°F).

Global Analysis - January 2015 National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI

The January 2015 globally-averaged temperature across land and ocean surfaces was 0.77°C (1.39°F) above the 20th century average of 12.0°C (53.6°F), the second highest on record for January since records began in 1880.

You're welcome, my son!

But...I had snow at my house...

Global warming has little to do with science and a lot to do with politics, and religion. Notice that the same people who push global warming are the same people pushing income inequality as an issue.

Global warming is the most discredited scientific theory since Piltdown Man.

I have often said the latest environmentalist movement is communism with a new party dress on. They are uniformly anti-capitalist, for the most part.

 

[westwall]

Well, he IS a commie so I can see how the progressives like him. Just further go's to show that it's only the progs and religious nutters who "believe" in AGW though.

 

[Blackrook]

Francis is Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and he is infallible when he speaks ex cathedra on faith and morals.

Global warming is not a faith issue and it is not a morals issue. It is a politicized and fraudulent attack on the world economy to force a global, socialist solution to a problem that really doesn't exist.

we have to put up with another five months of this BS, then hell freezes over till May, and then they start up again. bunch of cowards always go hiding in the winter.

 

[Blackrook]

They got it covered. Even while the US is in a 10-year cooling trend, they blame global warming. Facts have nothing to do with it, it's all politics and socialism.

I have spent my life in the maths and sciences, so there is nothing you could possibly comprehend that I wouldn't. This much we have learned many times on this forum.

The musings of a science fiction writer is not how a scientific theory is debunked. Sorry! Crichton has committed serious errors in previous papers. He has no serious standing in the community.

he needs to stay out of POLITICS

or donate the BILLIONS the church has he want's to spread other people wealth around

he should LEAD by example as all these blowhards here at home should, like Obama and his lying band of snakes spewing this crap in order to RAPE us out of our monies and lifestyles
