Pope Francis warns oil executives: Climate change may ‘destroy civilization’

By Avery Anapol - 06/09/18 07:21 AM EDT


Pope Francis on Saturday issued a dire warning to top oil executives, saying that climate change could “destroy civilization.”

At a two-day conference at the Vatican, the pope called climate change a challenge of “epochal proportions,” according to Reuters.

He also said that the world must move toward using clean energy and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels.

“Civilization requires energy but energy use must not destroy civilization,” Pope Francis said.

The conference, organized by the University of Notre Dame in the United States, brought together executives from asset manager BlackRock, BP and Norwegian oil and energy company Equinor, among others.

The event was prompted by Pope Francis’ 2015 papal encyclical blaming humans for climate change and criticizing world leaders for not acting swiftly enough to address it.

The conference comes about one year after President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. Trump has referred to global warming as a “hoax” and drawn criticism from the science community for stacking his administration with officials who deny the human role in climate change. During a meeting with Trump, the pope gave him a copy of the encyclical.

The pope told the group Saturday that global issues like poverty are “interconnected” to concerns about global warming and access to electricity.

“We know that the challenges facing us are interconnected,” he said, according to Reuters. “If we are to eliminate poverty and hunger ... the more than one billion people without electricity today need to gain access to it.”

“But that energy should also be clean, by a reduction in the systematic use of fossil fuels,” he added. “Our desire to ensure energy for all must not lead to the undesired effect of a spiral of extreme climate changes due to a catastrophic rise in global temperatures, harsher environments and increased levels of poverty.”

World-class economist, foreign and domestic policy expert and now also a top climatologist. Is there anything this man can't do? He's amazing.

The sooner the devil comes to claim this imposter the better off humainty will be.

The Vatican needs to start sending out SOS smoke signals for a real pope.

If he's so concerned, tell him to stop the volcanic eruptions in Hawaii.

Hmmmmmm...

The Bible says:

“The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.”​—Psalm 37:29.

“[God] has established the earth on its foundations; it will not be moved from its place forever and ever.”​—Psalm 104:5.

“The earth remains forever.”​—Ecclesiastes 1:4.

“The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, . . . did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited.”​—Isaiah 45:18.

And Revelation 11:18 says, "But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

Maybe the Pope should start reading the Bible.

H&K-Guy

Not my circus, not my monkey.

People in Hell want ice water, Frankie.

As a Catholic I wish he would get removed. I do not think he would change if the church went totally broke. This commie crap is deep in him, not sure if anything else is though.
I would love to debate him about this crap.
If he truly believed God was almighty, they we should have nothing to fear.
I have not donated one penny to the church since he got in and started this stuff.
A lot of my Catholic friends feel like I do about him.
He has harmed the church a great deal.
He has harmed the validity of the Pope in general.
It used to be all about aborting the huge number of babies that get aborted daily, not now.
Does he side with the commie/progressives on that as well?

I was not a fan of Pope Benedict. Initially, I liked this Pope because he seemed so markedly different from Pope Benedict. However, I feel like in the past few years, he's been running his suck about things that are completely outside his purview.

I think this guy is more likely to endanger mankind than petroleum.

There was only one man closer to God than the rest of us. This man is not, and should stick to his job of teaching the real life and lessons of Jesus.

Pope Francis needs to “lighten up”.

No disrespect to Catholics, nor to the Catholic Church, nor to any other religion, but I give the pope’s political pronouncements as much credence as I give those of Hollywierd celebrities, none.

I have this feeling that, at some point in the future, mankind will have worked very hard to attain zero pollution, achieve word peace, eliminate racism, and everyone will sing Kumbaya. The very day after that happens the "Comet of Karma" will smash into the earth, and make all the effort for naught. Point is, nothing is absolute. The earth will be here long after humans are specks of dust on a desolate landscape. Humans tend to look at the earth from a human perspective: +- 10,000 years of somewhat recorded history. This is a blink of the eye of the history of the earth.

Everything we see on earth, forests, oceans, mountains have never "always been here", and will not "always be here". You want to preserve the earth the way it is? Die. Humans have an impact on the environment just like any other being. When species "die out", what is happening is that they fail to adapt to changes in their environment. When the comet hits, some species will adapt, others will not. I'll give the cockroaches 100-1 odds over the humans.

Leftists will be the downfall of civilization.

I think he needs to watch "Walking tall" on the ole TV. You know, that Buford guy. Sump'in bout speak'in softly and carrying that great big ole stik.

Like some of his predecessors possibly. You know the great ones.

Francis is symptomatic of what's happening in the "leadership" of the Catholic church. As older, more traditional cardinals "age out" of electing a new Pope, the College of Cardinals is being hijacked by progressives (in Latin America, by the "liberation theology" veterans of the 60s/70s who are now in positions of responsibility.) For him and his ilk, it's not about traditional Catholic doctrine. It's about social activism and ultimately, socialism.

As a pretty darn poor Catholic, I can shake my head and know that ultimately he's not affecting the fundamental tenets of Catholicism. I can only hope that the next Conclave gets it right.

Wish JP II could be resurrected. What a comedown from him to Francis!
