Pope Francis Makes Biblical Case For Addressing Climate Change:
‘If We Destroy Creation, Creation Will Destroy Us’
Pope Francis made the religious case for tackling climate change
on Wednesday, calling on his fellow Christians to become
“Custodians of Creation” and issuing a dire warning about the
potentially catastrophic effects of global climate change.
Speaking to a massive crowd in Rome, the first Argentinian pope
delivered a short address in which he argued that respect for
the “beauty of nature and the grandeur of the cosmos” is a
Christian value, noting that failure to care for the planet
risks apocalyptic consequences.
“Safeguard Creation,” he said. “Because if we destroy Creation,
Creation will destroy us! Never forget this!”
The pope centered his environmentalist theology around the
biblical creation story in the book of Genesis, where God is
said to have created the world, declared it “good,” and charged
humanity with its care. Francis also made reference to his
namesake, Saint Francis of Assisi, who was a famous lover of
animals, and appeared to tie the ongoing environmental crisis to
economic concerns — namely, instances where a wealthy minority
exploits the planet at the expense of the poor.
“Creation is not a property, which we can rule over at will; or,
even less, is the property of only a few: Creation is a gift,

it is a wonderful
gift that God has given us, so that we care for it and we use it
for the benefit of all, always with great respect and
gratitude,”

Francis
said.
Francis also said that humanity’s destruction of the planet is a
sinful act, likening it to self-idolatry.

“But when we exploit Creation we destroy the sign of God’s love
for us, in destroying Creation we are saying to God: ‘I don’t
like it! This is not good!’ ‘So what do you like?’ ‘I like
myself!’

/>Here, this is sin! Do you see?”

The pope’s comments come on the heels of a five-day summit on
sustainability convened at the Vatican earlier this month. The
summit, entitled “Sustainable Humanity, Sustainable Nature, Our
Responsibility,” drew together microbiologists, legal scholars,
economists, philosophers, astronomers, and other experts to
discuss ways for the Catholic church to address a range issues
caused by climate change. In a joint statement published after
the close of the conference, participants echoed Francis’ belief
that environmental justice and economic justice are inextricably
linked.
“Human action which is not respectful of nature becomes a
boomerang for human beings that creates inequality and extends
what Pope Francis has termed ‘the globalization of indifference’
and the ‘economy of exclusion’ (Evangelii Gaudium), which
themselves endanger solidarity with present and future
generations,” the statement read.
The pontiff’s catechesis and the Vatican’s summit appear to be
part of a renewed effort by the Catholic church to draw
attention to environmental issues. Keeping with a long history
of Catholic environmentalism (including several
pro-environmentalist sermons delivered by Pope Benedict XVI,
Francis’ predecessor), Francis addressed climate change in his
inaugural mass as pope, and is rumored to be working on a formal
encyclical on the environment.

New Video Turns Up the Heat on GOP Climate Change Deniers
EcoWatch | June 4, 2014 3:11 pm In support of President Obama’s
plan to cut carbon emissions, Americans United for Change
released a video today calling out climate deniers in the GOP.
Not A Scientist features members of Congress, potential
presidential candidates and Republican leaders—from Marco Rubio
to John Boehner—all preaching from the same climate skeptic
handbook and refusing to acknowledge the overwhelming scientific
evidence that supports man-made climate change.
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWc0XhIGgRQ&feature=player_embedded
“The GOP’s new talking point when challenged on climate change
is ‘I’m no scientist’, and yet they remain 100 percent certain
as that 97 percent of the scientific community is pulling a fast
one on us all for no explicable reason,” said Jeremy Funk of
Americans United for Change. “Could it be because Big Oil and
the pollution-profiting Koch brothers have given Republicans
tens of millions of reasons to feign or maintain ignorance to
the detriment of our environment, health and national security?”
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
While the Republican party maintains their ignorance, a new poll
commissioned by Americans United for Change shows that crucial
Independent voters are not sympathetic to this anti-science
position, ;D with only 29 percent open to supporting a climate
skeptic in the 2016 presidential elections.

This is a historical film. ;D No, not because the USA wants to
beat the Russians to own a flying saucer so they can carry
NUCLEAR BOMBS :P, it's because of all the glacier scenes!
I will dig up some current photos of the area and make a few
screen shots from the movie to compare soon. Meanwhile, check it
out!

I hear Sen Inhofe says the solutions to 'climate change' are
"too costly". Never mind that continuing to burn fossil fuels is
'too stupid". When we humans start doing something because it is
'smart' instead of 'cheap', we may have a thriving planet to
pass on to our great great grandchildren. As of now, it looks
like they'll get a smoldering wreck. We can prevent this. Today
is the day to change course. We can do this. We really can.
