American Pope Leo just called the world out over "climate change" in a rant saying the "world is burning".

He also "prayed Wednesday for the world to recognize the urgency of the climate crisis" while celebrating mass in the Vatican's new "ecological garden" and using prayers put forth by the late radical Pope Francis.

In other words it's meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Climate change is neo-pagan, a worship of the Earth rather than God. It is worshipping the creature rather than the Creator. And it is not really a scientific theory so much as a "conventional wisdom" shibboleth, a "concensus" driven hypothesis not really supported by scientific evidence. It is anti-rational, and anti-humanist as it puts people last, encourages the impoverishment of human beings to "save the planet" a planet that requires no saving (except by God). Climate change is evidence of the hubris of Man, thinking we can "destroy the planet" simply by exhaling and by using fire - nature's own tool.

Oh, and there is no concensus. More scientists signed the Oregon Petition disputing climate change than have signed off on the theory throught the IPCC or anywhere else. These studies showing a 98% agreement on the issue are fake news; they ask "is the climate changing" which anyone would admit is so (it always has) and "do humans have something to do with it" which of course we do; land use changes affect the climate, for instance. Cut down a forest and you warm the planet to a minor degree. (Notingham England now sits where Sherwood Forest once stood, for example.) That is not what is meant by "climate change" - the updated version of Global Warming, which they chucked aftter realizing the climate really isn't warming much if at all. So now they moved it into the dishonest "climate change" so they can fit any unusual weather phenomenon into their paradigm. But it is supposed to be about the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

CO2 quickly loses it's greenhouse capabilities as it absorbes a specific bandwith of radiation.The most you wind up seeing is a 2* rise in temperature. The father of the theory, Roger Ravelle, thought this was more a curiosity than anything else. (He based his theory on the work of Svante Arrhenius, a nineteenth century scientist who elucidated the greenhouse effect.) Arrhenius' theory is correct under ideal greenhouse conditions (a greenhouse has no atmospheric mixing, no heat sinks, and a roof to hold the warmth in) but in so chaotic a system as the Earth's atmosphere it quickly breaks down.

We have massive oceans which act as heat sinks, and in fact carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere and turned into calcium carbonate - limestone. Much of the limestone on the ocean floor is a result of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the oceans and reacting with minerals therein to create the limestone we see.

The Earth's heat balance is also influenced by cloud cover (we don't understand how clouds work even now) and by solar radiation output (including the bandwith of solar radiation) and by the Earth's wobble as it moves through space (called Milankovitch cycles) which change the amount of irradiation the Earth receives. There are also atmospheric aerosols, including human-produced aerosols. And then there are cosmic rays, which make clouds when they get through the atmosphere. In a period of heavy atmospheric activity we should see fewer clouds, and during a period of low activity the cosmic rays get through the solar wind and generate more. Also, the Earth receives different amounts of micrometeor bombardment. How does that influence climate?

None of this is taken into account by the climate models - it is all CO2 all day long! Now why is that?

Because CO2 allows government to tax and spend and to regulate - the wet dream of the Hamiltonian statist. And it also promotes international organizations, which many in the DAVO crowd see as the seeds to world government. It promotes redistribution of wealth by restricting the industrial emissions of First World countries and programs to help poor countries take "remedial action" to protect themselves from "climate change".

How many times did the Saychelles go to the U.N. and claim they were going to be under water? I remember one press conference where the Saychellians wore scuba gear to make this point. But you know what? They have built four new airports in recent years to handle all the tourist trade. They are building, not takiing remedial action to survive. This is true of most low-lying islands, which are actually growing, not shrinking as global warming theory says they should. And the wealthy around the world and big corporations are building more and more seaside properties. The people who actually have skin in the game aren't worried about "climate change". Those who say they are are worried more about getting their slice of the pie.

This is what Pope Leo is worrying about, in a world that stinks of moral rot and rebellion against God.

If Leo is worried about the world he should do his job and call out the immorality that is constant in the world. Why hasn't he called out homosexuality? Abortion? Transgenderism? Atheism? He remains strangely silent on those things, and those are things that the Bible quite plainly warns lead to eternal damnation. But Leo, like Francis before him, doesn't want to hurt the tender sensibilities of these powerful political groups so he goes for low-hanging fruit - Western Civilization and our industrial economy, which has produced a bounty of goods and services which provide for the entire world.

I was watching the show Survivorman the other day and he was deep in the jungles of New Guinnea. He was aided by a stone age people there. But guess what? They were all wearing cotton t-shirts, cotton shorts, and tennis shoes. Just forty years ago they would have been in loin cloths and barefoot. Their houses were better too. The poorest of the poor in this world are rich compared to the wealthiest Third Worlder of just a century ago. A rising tide raises all boats, and it has throughout the world.

That's why the Third World population continues to rise; we are GIVING them health care, medicines, better food, better clothes, cleaner water, and better housing. THIS is what our industrial civilization has blessed the whole world with, and this is what Leo is trashing.

Going green will bring poverty. I don't know if he is just too shallow to understand all this are willfully ignorant.

The Church's main job is the salvation of souls. That is her primary job. Yet we have had Popes who want to change that mission. Leo appears to be just another one of them.

Life is about the salvation of souls, nothing else. If the Church would stick to that mission God will take care of the rest. Pope Leo is promoting the deification of Man over God.

Like Nimrod, it looked so good until the tower of Babel fell and everyones language became confused. God will not be mocked.

ADDENDUM:

I was watching the show Evil where a protestant minister was trying to poach David from the Catholic Church. His pitch was all politica - all the political activism he could do free of the restraints from Rome. It was supposed to be a Satanic seduction in the show - and it hit the nail on the head. Pope Leo,like Francis before him, has been seduced by politics over the "hocus pocus" as the minister called the spiritual aspects of Christianity.
