Pope Offers Warning to Trump: Do Not Back Away From Paris Climate Deal

oped: Sorry Pope Francis stick to theology you are lacking severely in science...here let me bring you up to speed on the myth of Man Made Climate Change: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2016/11/obamakerry-seek-to-undermine-trump-on.html

The Paris Climate Accord is all about limiting (capping) greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) – a believed ‘man-made’ contributor to climate change, in order to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius by the year 2100.  The agreement also aims to stop emitting greenhouse gases by 2060, at which time it will focus on pulling carbon out of the atmosphere (negative emissions)…which, by the way, a bunch of scientists say is virtually impossible.
Sounds expensive huh?   Yep.   Bloomberg estimates that the Paris Climate deal will cost the United States 12.1 TRILLION dollars over the next 25 years.   And, here’s the rub – there is no conclusive proof that CO2 has ANY effect on the climate. 

Forbes Magazine reports:

Are we humans causing the warming by our carbon emissions? Actually, most of the “greenhouse effect” is due to water vapor, which makes one wonder why the EPA hasn’t designated H2O a harmful pollutant that they must regulate. Meteorologist Brian Sussman’s calculations in his book “Climategate” show humanity’s share of the greenhouse effect as .9 of 1 percent.

It’s even possible that CO2 may not affect global warming at all. During many stretches of planetary history, there has been no correlation between the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and global temperature. In other long stretches, the variations of the two factors followed a significant sequence: increases in CO2 followed increases in warmth by several centuries. You don’t need to have a degree in climate science to know that, in a temporal universe, cause does not follow its effect. 

Even global warming alarmists have tacitly conceded that CO2 is not the primary driver of climate change when they responded to the relative cooling in recent years by changing their story and telling us that the earth is likely to cool for a few decades in spite of still-increasing atmospheric CO2. Translation: other factors outweigh CO2 in their impact on global temperatures. Those other factors include variations in solar activity (accounting for 3/4 of the variability in earth’s temperature according to the Marshall Institute); changes in earth’s orbit and axis; albedo (reflectivity, meaning changes in cloud cover which are influenced by fluctuations in gamma ray activity); and volcanic and tectonic activity in the earth’s crust. For humans to presume that they are more than a gnat on an elephant’s rump in terms of impact on climate change is vain and delusive. 

So, in terms of actually changing the climate, the Paris Climate Accord is a total waste of time and money.
That didn’t stop the Pope from offering a climate change ‘warning’ in what commentators are calling, “a message that looked to be squarely aimed at” Donald Trump.

Climate Depot reports – Pope Francis has issued a climate change challenge directly to President Elect Trump. The Pope, in thinly veiled speech, urged Trump not to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations Paris agreement reached in 2015. The UN treaty has been said by critics to be “history’s most expensive treaty’,” with a “cost of between $1 trillion and $2 trillion annually.”

Pope Francis warned of the “crisis of climate change.”  “The ‘distraction’ or delay in implementing global agreements on the environment shows that politics has become submissive to a technology and economy which seek profit above all else,” Francis said, in what Reuters described as “a message that looked to be squarely aimed at” Trump. 

Trump pledged to pull the U.S. out of the UN Paris climate agreement and defund and withdraw from the UN climate process.

Speaking to a group of scientists, including physicist Stephen Hawking, the pope said in his speech that scientists should “work free of political, economic or ideological interests, to develop a cultural model which can face the crisis of climatic change and its social consequences”. The Pope has previously urged Catholics to pray for a UN climate agreement.

Who knew the Pope was such an expert on all things “climate?”
