Title: The Pope Keeps Spewing Hot Air on Climate Change
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Paul Driessen
with Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow www.CFACT.org
Part 1 of 3
Why must we travel to India or China or Africa to drill water wells for poor communities? Why can’t their own governments do it? I’m not trying to sound indifferent or mean. I just want to know. If the Pope is so concerned about the quality of life around the globe, why doesn’t he help them, instead of spewing hot air about global warming?
Paul Driessen is a Senior Policy Analyst for the
Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a public policy institute that promotes environmental stewardship and the enhancement of human health and welfare. Paul says this of the Pope’s incessant babbling over global warming: “The hot air has been coming from these rabid environmentalists and alarmists for a long time.” Now the Pope has bought into the lie – or has he just been bought?
Paul goes on to say, “Global warming/climate change is a critical moral and social justice issue.” Poor communities need access to abundant, reliable, and affordable hydrocarbon energy. “It’s a unconscionable crime against humanity to implement policies that pretend to protect the world’s energy-deprived masses from hypothetical, computer generated, man-made climate disasters decades from now,” Paul declares.
Global warming alarmists are not helping to raise the standard of living anywhere. In fact, they are doing the exact opposite by denying the poorest of the poor access to cheap, reliable, and abundant energy sources. A perfect example of lies not benefiting the environment goes back several decades and the controversy surrounding DDT. Listen in as Paul reminds us what happened with that big mess and how it is happening all over again with the Pope and global warming.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - The Pope Keeps Spewing Hot Air on Climate Change
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Paul Driessen
with Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow www.CFACT.org
In this second segment with Paul Driessen, he offers some more thoughts on why
he believes the Pope insists on spewing the lies he’s been fed about man-caused
global warming. With all the other problems in the world, why is he focusing so
much of his attention on this one issue? It infuriates Paul. In fact, he says, “It’s
just maddening.”
Obama and the Pope continuously say they are looking out for the poor, but the
policies they implement really hurt the poor the most. The Pope, specifically,
decries material greed, but then ultimately ignores political greed. “The
Pope seems to have an unwarranted and naive trust in the goodness in those who
wield political power,” Paul believes. “He needs to get out of his
liberation theology ideas and his anti-capitalism and think about the impact –
good or bad – that governments have had on people over the years.”
Paul Driessen doesn’t hold anything back in this segment. He gives the plain,
hard truth about the Pope, global warming, and what the future may very well
look like if we continue along this path.

The elites love their big cars, big houses, private jets, and the
money they get from speaking about “man-cause global warming”.
They just don’t want you to have the same luxuries. They want to keep the poor
in the poorhouse. They want to keep the middle-class where they are, or bring
them down even lower. They want the power to control everyone “underneath” them.
Period.
For example, Paul Driessen wants you to know more about the Zulu Huts in Africa.
The African leaders see nothing wrong with the huts; they think the people are
just fine without electricity and running water, without protections from
mosquitoes which carry malaria. The leaders refuse to drink bacteria laced water
from a pond and bath in the same. Yet, those very leaders live in the lap of
luxury in mansions with electricity and showers and clean water to drink and
protection from diseases.
The UN is holding another environmental conference in an attempt to convince
even more people that they are too good for the conveniences life has to offer.
We must stop being so selfish, after all, and give up what we have so they can
have more. But that’s the problem – the poor won’t have more because the UN
won’t actually allow them to improve their quality of life! The cycle is
aggravating and will never end unless we do something to stop it.
The organizers of the next UN environmental conference have admitted that it has
nothing to do with environmental protection or preventing climate change. They
have said, “It has everything to do with intentionally transforming the
global, economic development model.” Listen in as Paul describes this
absurdity and their ultimate goal.
Paul Driessen’s book, “Eco-Imperialism: Green Power - Black Death”,
documents the harm that restrictive environmental policies often have on poor
families in developing countries by restricting access to life-enhancing modern
technologies. You can order a copy of Paul’s informative book on Amazon.

Title: Is the Pope a Socialist?
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Myron Ebell
with Competitive Enterprise Institute www.cei.org
Part 1 of 2
We’ve done several
interviews on the “The Pope and Climate Change” in recent weeks.
In his encyclical, the Pope sided with an atheist environmentalist who
claims man is the main cause of climate change. But what else did the Pope
discuss in his 45,000-word letter to the church?
Myron Ebell is director of the
Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute
and chairs the Cooler Heads Coalition, which is comprised of over two dozen
non-profit groups that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy
rationing policies. He says that the Pope has done more damage than just climate
change – it’s a mess across the board. Not only is the encyclical “sloppy
and incoherent”, the Pope has even criticized capitalism and the private
ownership of property!
In addition to being sloppy, incoherent, and enormously critical, the encyclical
is very inconsistent within its own document! Listen in as Myron explains….

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Is the Pope a Socialist?
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Myron Ebell
with Competitive Enterprise Institute www.cei.org
In his recent Encyclical, the
Pope called for serious review of the dominant model of development, production,
commerce, and consumption. In other words, he believes capitalism isn’t working;
socialism is the answer.
Myron Ebell is completely dumbfounded by the Pope’s claims concerning all these
issues. In one breath, he says we need to help the poor, but in the next breath,
he criticizes all the ways we are accomplishing it! It also appears that Pope
Francis is only using one-sided information from “experts”. He isn’t even giving
the other side a chance!
The Pope’s most recent encyclical can be read

Title: Global Warming According to the Pope
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Stefano Gennarini
with Center for Family and Human Rights (www.C-Fam.org)
If you are not
Catholic, you may not have heard about the Pope’s latest encyclical, which is a
letter the Pope writes to all the Bishops. In fact, this letter is
available to anyone who wishes to read it. In his encyclical, the Pope basically
blames all of the earth’s current climate issues on humans and our love of
fossil fuels.
Stefano Gennarini, with the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute,
discusses the UN’s three basic notions concerning “sustainable development”:
economic, social, and environment development. Stefano says, “Deep down it
[sustainable development] ultimately poses that human beings on the planet are a
problem.” Stefano also reveals that the Pope said, “Human existence as
parasitical.”
On a positive note: The Pope does not believe in squashing our right to
procreate. He does not endorse abortion or euthanasia.
We do need to take care of the poor; that is undisputable. But at what cost does
the Pope believe we should take steps to accomplish this? Listen in as Stefano
explains the Pope’s reasoning for stopping the use of fossil fuels and
maintaining a safe environment for all, especially those in poor nations.

Title: Is Air Conditioning a Human Rights Issue?
Topic: The Pope and Climate Change
Discussed by Mark Tooley
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Paragraph number 55
in the Pope’s 45,000-word encyclical specifically criticizes the use of air
conditioning for it contribution to global warming. However, poor
people around the world who do not have air conditioning – or even electricity!
– are dying every day due to the extreme heat and lack of centralized air. If
the Pope was really concerned with saving more people – both on earth and for
the Kingdom of God – then he would not be making the modern world feel guilty
for using A/C! He would, instead, work with those who can help disadvantaged
people to have a better quality of life!
The Pope has been told – and possibly even convinced – by the Environmental
Mafia that we are going to destroy the world very soon if we do not depopulate
the earth and stop the spread of global warming. Mark Tooley discusses some of
the underlying issues that have given the Pope this skewed hypothesis. First
being the use of electricity and A/C. Wouldn’t the use of electricity improve
their quality of life, though? How does the Pope justify allowing millions of
poor people to die every year when we could easily help them if the UN would let
us?
Listen in as Mark discusses this and other issues regarding the Pope’s
encyclical and global warming. Click here
