Pope Francis has been moving the Roman Catholic church into the realm of “climate change” over the past few months, lending his voice to the unhinged Cult of Climastrology. He’s now poised to make it official
(UK Daily Mail) Pope Francis is to call for a stop to climate change and global inequality in a letter due to be sent to the world’s 1.2billion Catholics.
In an unprecedented encyclical on environment, the Argentinian pontiff is expected to call for a ‘fundamental change of course to protect the earth and its people’.
The UN believes the letter, which will be called ‘Laudato Sii’ or ‘Praised Be’ and is due to be published on Thursday, will have a ‘major impact’ and could herald the start of a ‘transformation’.
In the letter, which will be sent to the 5,000 Catholic bishops around the world and published in five languages online, the Pope is expected to argue that the world faces ruin without a revolution in hearts and minds.
When is this ruin coming? Cult of Climastrology members have been predicting doom for decades. What of all their prognostications of an ice free Arctic? None have come to pass. ABC News predicted in 2008 that 2015 would see NYC under water and hundreds of miles of land on fire due to “climate change”. We were told that 2005 would be the “new normal” for hurricanes. Didn’t happen. Superstorm Sandy was also supposed to be the new normal. Nope. We get prediction after prediction, and none come to pass. Though the CoC does work overtime to blame every weather event on Hotcoldwetdry. Including cold and snowy winters.
Cardinal Peter Turkson, of Ghana – who oversaw the drafting of the encyclical – said action to halt climate change was needed. He said the letter would address the root causes of poverty and the threats facing nature.
He told a conference on climate change at the Vatican earlier this year: ‘We clearly need a fundamental change of course, to protect the earth and its people — which in turn will allow us to dignify humanity.’
Just as Warmists link every real world issue, particularly environmental issues, to “climate change”, which damages the impact of the real issue, linking poverty to “climate change” diminishes the importance of that issue, particularly when inexpensive, affordable, reliable, and accessible energy does more to lift people out of poverty than anything else.
The Pope’s letter is likely to have a major impact in spurring UN negotiations on global warming and will add a moral dimension to work on climate change, experts predicted.
I’ve written many times about the intersection of religion with the far left Progressive (nice fascist) movement when it comes to “climate change”, and this brings to mind a few questions: does Pope Francis believe it is moral for citizens to give up their freedoms to Government? Does he think citizens should put control of their lives in the hands of Government? Is it moral to force citizens to be subservient to The Government? Because those are things that are primary tenets of Progressivism. Having government accumulate more power over citizens, private entities, and economies, all for people’s own good. Does he think that this pronouncement will ingratiate the Catholic Church to the far left, which despises religion?
Does he think it’s a good idea to increase the power of the United Nations, a body chock full of tyrants, dictators, and murderers? A body whose peace-keepers have been involved with rape, theft, destruction of property, and host of other bad behavior? A body which ran the Oil For Food program, one full of graft, which saw the food diverted, among other problems? A body which ignored the Rwanda massacre? And other massacres? One which which wants to destroy the nation of Israel? One which had the sex-for-food scandal? How about a body that has nations such as China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and others serving on the Human Rights Commission? The list goes on and on.
Perhaps Pope Francis should take a look at the computer models, and see how wrong they have been. Perhaps he should note that Warmists have to “adjust” their data to match their predictions. Perhaps he should note that the climate has always changed, and will always change. Perhaps he should note that he’s being duped. Like the rest of the Cult of Climastrology.

Teach,
You should use your tweeter advantage and tweet that the Pope and the Catholic Church are nice fascists, stupid and dupes!
Teach typed:
Who is at the core of duping the Pope and I (and all the others)?
You conspirasize (conspiracy + hypothesize) that an international cabal of leftist radicals is behind it, and that global warming is not science-based. Can you flesh this concept out a bit – and if you can, will you?
Is it centered in the UN? Most of the funding for climate science research (conducted at nice fascist universities) is supplied through the National Science Foundation, NASA, Interior, EPA and NIH. Does the UN conspiracy include the US funding agencies? Do the funding agencies direct the scientists to obtain pre-ordained results or do the scientists assume what the US gov’t wants and fakes the data to fit?
The Teach typed:
It hasn’t occurred to the Denier, Teach, that the Pope may not have an ulterior motive. Just maybe the Pope thinks that global warming presents a serious threat to humankind.
According to you: 97% of scientists are fascists. All major scientific bodies on Earth are now controlled by fascists. Every major religion supports fascism. Every government on Earth, except Australia, is run by fascists. 50% of Americans are fascists. Every media outlet to the left of FOX preaches fascism.
Or… maybe you’re wrong. You might at least consider that option. It seems just as likely that you are wrong as a worldwide conspiracy that includes Communists, scientists, the Catholic Church, the US Academy of Science and organized Islam.
Give it some thought.
The World According to Teach:
Interesting, since Democrats have been saying that Blacks are too stupid, too lazy, too incompetent to get an ID card to vote (which is interesting, since one needs an ID to attend a Hillary event.)
Jeff,
I believe it was your guy Gruber that indicated that your list of people was excessively stupid. That is why they fell for the health care bill.
Actually no people like you are fully aware that you are part of a left wing fascist movement.
Your fully aware this is what you want to have happen in the world.
Denying it only makes you seem even more tragic in that your life is devoted to MAKING PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE………
I find this a tragic flaw in Atheists. They are consumed with the desire to share their personal misery that they must win every argument and project every feeling on the rest of the world.
Im actually sad for you….
You give us too much credit. I’m pretty simple. The Earth is warming – for the good of mankind we need to slow it. The reason that Deniers have constructed a left-wing fascist theme is to distract from the overwhelming evidence supporting the theory of global warming.
I’ve asked The Teach to explain the organizational structure of the global conspiracy to enact a global fascist gov’t based on global warming but he hasn’t yet. Do you want to take a shot at it?
LOL. No, you’re not.
“The earth is warming, and for the good of mankind we need to slow it.” Why would we need to slow it? Cold kills more people. And the fact that it is or is not warming proves absolutely nothing as to why it is or is not warming. So you’re back to square one. Again.

Science REQUIRES three things:
1) Openness – data, data collection methods, and methodology of interpretation must be open to examination
2) Replicability – findings must be replicable by disinterested agencies
3) Skepticism – results must be defensible against any and all skeptics
NONE of these criteria have been met. The raw data, data collection methods, and interpretation methods have all been hidden from view. Warmists cannot even replicate their own conclusions. For that matter, they cannot “predict” the known past from the more distant past (98% of past predictions of the present are off by very large margins). And as for skepticism – wild arm waving and denigration do not even begin to refute skeptics – proofs do.
Aas for the “concensus” opinions? “Concensus” is not Scientific Methodology, or science at all, especially when said “concensus” is garnered via self-selection. Concensus is opinion, not factual evidence.
So why would these arm-wavers do such a thing? Money and power come to mind. They (warmists) want upwards of $10 TRILLION per year to alleviate the “threat of warming” (mostly to come from the US). And that kind of money purchases immense power – greater power than all (formerly – in the future) advanced Countries combined – especially after their bankruptcy.
Good luck trying to get us to agree to absolute and total insolvency and to turingn over our influence based on probable fallacious claims. Somehow – I just don’t see that happening.
