Not to be disrespectful, but shouldn't this guy be saving souls instead of propagating scientific nonsense?
ZitatABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) The U.N. climate conference in Paris is most likely humanity’s last chance to thwart global environmental disaster, Pope Francis said on Monday (Nov. 30), warning the world was “at the limits of suicide.”
The pope, who wrote a major document on the environment last June, made the comment in an hour-long news conference aboard the plane returning him to Rome at the end of a six-day trip to Africa.
The freewheeling conversations have become a trademark of his papacy and the few times he takes direct questions from journalists.
Francis, who visited Kenya, Uganda and the Central African Republic, also said the continent was “a martyr of exploitation” by wealthy countries who lust after its natural resources and try to impose Western values instead of concentrating on development.
The pope was asked if the U.N. climate summit in Paris would mark a turnaround in the fight against global warming.
“I am not sure, but I can say to you ‘now or never’,” he said. “Every year the problems are getting worse. We are at the limits. If I may use a strong word I would say that we are at the limits of suicide.”

or how about nudging Western nations into providing safe refuge for the Christians and Yazhidis being raped. sold into sexual slavery, and being exterminated in the Middle East.

When the Gospel message loses its luster, it's clear they look elsewhere for relevance.

A fascinating book, read it several years ago. The shenanigans of these guys, if that is the correct word, helped contribute to the explosion of the Protestant Reformation.
