There is a fundamental rule of politics that you try to unite people.
But reading the Reuter’s article released a few minutes ago, I see so many red flags to so many bulls that many who never paid any interest in climate are bound to feel they have to unite against this pope.
Also, what a bizarre set of objectives: “Pope calls for ‘action now’ to save planet, stem warming, help poor”
- Save planet: The planet is greening because of rising CO2 (CO2 is a plant food)
- Stem warming: satellites tell us there’s been no warming for 18 years – DONE!
- Help poor: rising CO2 is leading to record harvests. And with 1million extra deaths in winter particularly amongst the elderly poor in the UK since this scam started even if temperatures rise – rising temperature help the poor.
However what is really going to annoy world governments and turn them against this pope is the ideas of reducing the power of governments by putting them under a single (very socialist) world government.
He’s also very much said that (except for the pope) every other world leader has to do what their academics (pretending to be scientists) tell them.
So, again, this is not going to be a very palatable message.
As for the poor. Here I start seeing red! Reducing CO2 will cause starvation in the long term because it will hit crop yield boosted by higher CO2, but much worse is encouraging “bio-fuels” which will quickly kill millions and land producing food gets turned over to producing fuels. And increasing fuel costs will kill the poor and elderly in places like Scotland with rising fuel poverty.
So, basically when none of the predicted trends in severe weather have come true, the (heavily adjusted) temperature data has not warmed at even the lowest predicted level of the IPCC in 2001 – so the science tells us the academic forecasts are wrong. This encyclical is anti-science anti-the-poor and elderly, anti-reason. In short it the victory of the carbon (credit) profiteers and as such in my view it is a totally scandalous and immoral betrayal of the people the world PARTICULARLY the poor and vulnerable.
