Perhaps they should deal with their own issues and talk the Bible. You don’t hear them say all that much about abortion on demand, yet, they’ll yammer about ‘climate change’, manufacturing Reasons while scouring the Bible for backing, all while refusing to make their own lives net zero
Pope, other religious leaders issue pre-COP26 appeal on climate change
Pope Francis and other religious leaders made a joint appeal on Monday for next month’s U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26) to offer concrete solutions to save the planet from “an unprecedented ecological crisis”.
The “Faith and Science: Towards COP26” meeting brought together Christian leaders including Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, as well as representatives of Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism and Jainism.
“COP26 in Glasgow represents an urgent summons to provide effective responses to the unprecedented ecological crisis and the crisis of values that we are presently experiencing, and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations,” the pope said.
There is no ecological crisis linked to a slight increase in global temperatures, even if this was mostly/solely caused by Mankind. If they want to talk about actual environmental issues, I’m up for that. Climate change is not one. If they want to talk about values, sure, let’s talk about those. If they’re linking those values to the climate emergency? No, especially when the Vatican relies on people taking fossil fueled trips to visit the Vatican.
The appeal, which described climate change as a “grave threat”, was handed to Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and Britain’s Alok Sharma, president of COP26 in Glasgow.
“The faith leaders who have come here today represent around 3/4 of the world’s population. That is by any measure a significant percentage of people across the globe and that’s why their voice matters so much,” Sharma said after the meeting, which was organised by the Vatican, Britain and Italy.
I wonder how many of those people think the same as these “religious leaders”? They do not speak for me as a Christian. Nor do they reduce their own carbon footprints.
Welby, spiritual leader of the world’s Anglicans, called for a “global financial architecture which repents of its past sins”, including changes in tax rules to promote green activity.
“We have in the past 100 years declared war on creation… Our war against the climate affects the poorest among us,” Welby said.
Interesting. Welby is calling for a world government that has the power to punish “green” sin, rather than keeping religion and government separate.
“We plead with the international community, gathered at COP26, to take speedy, responsible and shared action to safeguard, restore and heal our wounded humanity and the home entrusted to our stewardship,” said the appeal, which followed months of online meetings among the 40 or so religious leaders.
They do realize that the True Believers in the Cult of Climastrology want to end organized religion, right?
Teach as a Christian what do you think Jesus would say about helping migrants? The Old Testament was quite explicit in saying we should treT them just as we treat others
As a non Christian why would you give a fuk what any Christian thinks about anything? I can see your Christian “expertise” by asking what Jesus would think then pointing out stuff in the Old Testament. But as long as your worried about what we Christians think, what do YOU think? You got the big mouth tell us what YOU think. Have you helped any “migrants” lately? Are you housing any illegal aliens? No? Didn’t think so. Do you wander the streets daily to feed the Afghan terrorist migrants? No? Didn’t think so.
STFU until you walk the walk you insolent un self aware boob.
