Pope Warns world on Climate Change.

[heartastack]

You'd probably only be able to form an opinion based upon first hand knowledge about where the world is heading if you could compare the world based upon first hand knowledge say 50 or 100 or 300 years. Anything else is just an assumption. So I'd suggest that what you witnessed was not evidence, rather, it was something that at the time made you sad. From what I've read, England had a pretty good go at wallowing in its own piss and shit a couple of hundred years ago yet it's managed to extricate itself. And now it wallows in our cricketing shit. :/

If scientists proved that to save earth we would have to make having children illegal for 90% of the population for some decades and cease manufacturing of non-essential consumer goods what would people think? They would argue till it's too late. That's all that is going on now. And the solution is so against human nature and political sensibility that we will only perpetuate the dominant ideology.

Hey it's just my view I'm sure I'm in the minority but I'm at peace with it. Die before you die!

Like I said. If you arrive at a position based purely upon what you experience at some point in time, then it's likely that it is only applicable at that point in time and only relevant to you, i.e. you were clouded by emotion.

By our nature humans seek answers to problems. We will overcome any environmental problems that we face simply because we don't want to make having children illegal for example. Necessity is the mother of invention after all. The Malthusian prophecy has been proven wrong. So we have two alternatives, Despair and Legislate, or Rejoice and Capitalise. Both roads are fraught with danger, but only the second has rewards.

I don't agree but I enjoyed the midnight discussion! Night

"If scientists proved that to save earth ", not to make light of your comments, but I always have to laugh when I read that. The earth will be fine long after humans cease to exist. I think you give us too much credit.

It's just a thought experiment and that was a condescending cheap-shot. cheers.

I apologize Heartastack if you were offended. I'm just tired of the whole global warming debate. The high priest Albert Gore has been wrong on all accounts while raking in millions. The data has been highly corrupted by the warmists. They say the debate is over. I've read the polar ice is supposed to be melted by now, the polar bears dead and the poor children will never see another winter. The little people drive around their "smart" toy cars saving the planet while the elite live in mansions and estates, flying all over in their private jets wining and dining on the best food and spirits yet we have to make do with less, turning our heat and cool air down . Cut out eating meat as well, because the cows fart and that destroys the planet too.

This is the greatest scam perpetuated to tax you for the audacity to be born and breath oxygen . Until the elites walk the walk im not doing a thing to reduce my "carbon footprint". Another scam to create a gigantic wealth transfer into their coffers.

I wonder if he instructs the financial arm of the Vatican to sell the shares in oil,gas and coal?

That would be George Pell ...

"In 2014, Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, was summoned to Rome to become chief of the Vatican's finances, a new position created by Pope Francis in the wake of scandals at the Vatican Bank."

"The man responsible for the Vatican's finances says he has found millions of Euros "tucked away" off balance sheets.

Cardinal George Pell, who heads the Vatican's Secretariat for the Economy, said it meant the Holy See's finances were better than expected."

"It is important to point out that the Vatican is not broke," Cardinal Pell wrote.

Oh, what relief we must all be feeling. And according to the article it was "hundreds of millions of Euros" not appearing on balance sheets...

I think "tucked away" is a very polite way to put it.

But we wouldn't suspect the much-maligned Church of corruption, now would we?

It's a pitty he wasn't this proactive warning people of pedophilia in the priesthood.

 

[Peter]

Im not religious but good on him.
We could all be caught up in a disaster if something isn't done.
Ignoring risky possibilities doesn't make them go away.
Don't like popes but this one is trying to do the right thing.
I suspect he will die early.

Pope warns people of rock spiders in the church.

Taking scientific advice from a religious leader is like asking your plumber to do your tax return.
