Nice that this pope cares more about a mythical issue way more than the murder of the unborn. How often does he talk about that? Summon Liberals to the Vatican to talk about it? Did you hear the Pope chiming in about the recent vote in Ireland to allow abortion on demand? Anyhow, remember, folks, this is totally about science.
Pope summons oil execs to Vatican to talk climate change
Pope Francis will meet with some of the world’s oil executives next week, likely to give them another moral nudge to clean up their act on global warming.
Climate change policy and science experts are cautiously hopeful but aren’t expecting any miracles or even noticeable changes.
The conference will be a follow-up to the pope’s encyclical three years ago calling on people to save the planet from climate change and other environmental ills, Vatican spokesman Greg Burke confirmed Friday. Cardinal Peter Turkson, who spearheaded the encyclical, set up the June 8-9 conference with the executives. The pope himself will speak to the leaders on the second day of the summit, organized with the University of Notre Dame, Burke said.
Officials at the Vatican and Notre Dame would not disclose who is coming. BP, however, confirmed that its CEO Robert Dudley plans to attend, and Exxon Mobil said CEO Darren Woods would be there. Woods said this week that his company is trying to balance the risks of climate change with growing demand for energy to raise living standards in the developing world.
It is rather amusing that the Pope is summoning oil execs to take fossil fueled trips to the Vatican to discuss Hotcoldwetdry from the use of fossil fuels. And the Pope came back in January from taking long fossil fueled trips to Chile and Peru. And plans on trips to Switzerland, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and India this year. Will he be walking? Biking? Taking a horse? Rollerblades?
Dana Fisher, a sociologist who studies environmentalism at the University of Maryland, said the pope is cementing his leadership on climate.
“He certainly is trying to lead for the planet and lord knows we need it,” she said.
Gary Yohe, an economics and environment professor at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, said the executives might feel compelled to listen to the spiritual leader of nearly 1.3 billion Catholics.
“This is not somebody you can ignore,” Yohe said. “It might be a come to Jesus moment for them.”
Totally not a religion.
So does a bear really shit in the woods?
Just askin’ cause this pope sure doesn’t seem Catholic.
Wow. What an anti-Catholic screed.
Anyway, regarding “murder” of the unborn, when the trumpitistas finally take total control, will you allow carve-outs for some women? For example, when a 13 yr old in Alabama is impregnated by her father, would you allow the “murder” of her unborn by a doctor? It would be like the carve-out the US has for capital punishment. We don’t consider that murder. Fortunately, most criminal priests were homosexual pedophiles so few pregnancies arose from their crimes.
For any woman that is impregnated by a rapist? Since more unborn are killed by spontaneous rather than induced abortion, would you support research to reduce the number of spontaneous abortions? And if a woman obtains an illegal abortion whom do you put to death for murder – the woman or the doctor, or both?
Would you ban IUDs or any method of prophylaxis that inhibits implantation?
The Pope, who may be almost as smart as you, understands and trusts science to the extent that he thinks global warming is a threat to humanity. And you mock him.
Wow, how does losing feel, oh nignorant one?
dp,
Jeff is just looking forward to his first abortion. He really thinks that if he says he is a woman that he can do it all.
We don’t know, but we know you do. How does it feel to be a loser?
It is not that there would be “carve outs” for some women, Jeffery. The hateful left has already decided that cases you describe here are less than 1.5% of all abortions. So go ahead. Accept the idea that we should have the 1.5% of abortions to be “allowed.” That of course means that you believe that abortion is wrong in the 98.5% of the other cases.
Step up to the plate and agree to that and we have a starting point. Otherwise, you are just trolling and trying to make an argument that you don’t even agree with.
No we don’ because the criminal has made choices of their own free will that lead to their death. Are you saying a child – an innocent child in the womb – has made those same choices?
Once again, you cannot live with your own argument as it shows ignorance and hypocrisy.
The Pope believes in the science that says that life begins at conception. You, of course, don’t believe that so you won’t follow the Pope on that. Yet when it comes the to pseudo science of climate change, you’ll all in on the Pope’s alleged authority on this issue (which he doesn’t have under the tenants of the Church to begin with).
So much hate, blood on your hands and hypocrisy.
All the left has is hate.
All the right has is projection.
Beaten again, the hateful left slings meaningless and unsupported mud in a parting because all the left has is hate.
Yet he still won’t tell us how losing feels.
Nor will he tell us how one can volunteer and sign up for the Army yet never serve.
Beaten once again, the hateful rightist slings meaningless and unsupported mud in a parting shot because all the right has is hateful projection.
The BELIEF that life begins at conception is religious. The UNDERSTANDING that human generated greenhouse gases are causing the Earth to warm is a scientific theory supported by overwhelming evidence.
See the difference?
Do you believe the effective use of an IUD is committing murder? Do you believe that the millions of spontaneous abortions that occur each year should receive more attention?
All you have is your hateful projection.
And all you have is nonsense and nignorance but never any honest answers.
Other than pathetic dave, you’re the biggest loser we’ve ever encountered. How does it feel? Why won’t you answer?
All the right has is hateful projection. It’s always projection.
I never falsely claimed to have joined the Army while impugning others that did not serve.
You did that.
Waah! You big ol’ loser you.
Only dave is more pathetic. LOL
All you have is ignorance and projection.
And of course, you have that backwards. No one other than the hateful left who loves having blood on their hands believes that life doesn’t begin at conception.
The AGW theory is still up for heavy debate and the amount of evidence is showing that warmists are part of a cult like belief.
Yeah. The difference is that you are wrong.
Also, couldn’t help but notice that you bailed on the idea that if you want to limit abortions to cases of rape and incest, that is only a small fractions of the deaths you and people of your ilk have on your hands.
You also ran from the idea that there is a difference between an innocent child who has not harmed anyone and those who have earned the death penalty.
You simply cannot keep any logical thought process that is consistent.
Your hate and the hate of the left overwhelms any logic.
All the left has is hate.
All you have is ignorance and projection.
Also, you ran from the question about whether you would force a rape victim to bear the child of their attacker.
You’re becoming as pathetic as dave and drowningpup.
Sad.
All it took was the election of a tyrant to encourage you to unleash your true, authoritarian self.
All you have is your ignorance and projection.
