Pope Francis made his strongest statements yet about climate change Wednesday, rebuking fossil fuel companies and urging countries to make an immediate transition to renewable energy.
In a new document titled “Laudate Deum,” or “Praise God,” the pope criticizes oil and gas companies for greenwashing new fossil fuel projects and calls for more ambitious efforts in the West to tackle the climate crisis. In the landmark apostolic exhortation, a form of papal writing, Francis says that “avoiding an increase of a tenth of a degree in the global temperature would already suffice to alleviate some suffering for many people.”
“Laudate Deum” is a follow-up to the pope’s 2015 encyclical on climate change, known as “Laudato Si’,” which lamented the exploitation of the planet and cast the protection of the environment as a moral imperative. When it was released, “Laudato Si’” was viewed as an extraordinary move by the head of the Catholic Church to address global warming and its consequences.
Nearly a decade later, the pope’s message has taken on new urgency.
… you brought up fallacies, not me. Just like how you claimed the pope, leader of the catholic church, has no influence on the members of the catholic church. You are making the claim that the leader of a group has no influence over the group, and asking for proof to the contrary. Or did you misread your own comments?
Whats your field of research? I cannot believe a real scientist got a degree with this piss poor reading comprehension. Whats your work in?
Or were you wanting to make up more guesses about me? We could do that too, youve yet to get one right.
I made no such assertions. I decline to provide you more details of my character to fallaciously attack. You cannot reason well enough to make this worthwhile. This conversation has concluded. Move on.
Ha, yeah thats what I thought. A lot easier to larp as a “scientist” than it is to actually answer questions about what a scientist is, eh? That tracks with all your other made up nonsense.
Have fun playing pretend for internet clout. Glad thats good for you.
I feel very sorry for you that you have to resort to childish ad hominem attacks when you can’t muster an actual point.
As a scientist, and adult, I wish you the best in attaining the substantial personal growth you’ll need to maintain a discourse without resorting to baseless attacks on character.
I thought this discussion was over?
You hid from my singular point, so Im not sure what you mean. The only point I made you couldnt even half heartedly rebuttal, just flail with personal attacks in the hopes I was catholic. Sorry, was that only okay for you to do?
Pretty hypocritical for an “adult.”
Sure thing, you have a lovely day now.
Dont tuck that tail too tight, it will fall off
Hey how many times are you gonna say " its over bro" just to come right back with that tail tucked?
My buddys got $10 on 5, but I think you go past that
