His comment, made as he flew off for a visit to Chile and Peru, came after Hawaii issued a false missile alert that provoked panic in the U.S. state and highlighted the risk of possible unintended nuclear war with North Korea.

I am not a "denier", but if I must have a label to discuss this, I suppose that is closer than saying I am a cult member. I keep hearing how the tipping point has been reached, or is close at hand. If we don't "do something", it will all be over. The POPE is a big voice in all this. He seems to think along the lines of most of the climate cult members. But then I read about him flying here, and flying there, on a big private plane.

I have to ask, if it really is that damn important, shouldn't the one's who are true leaders in all this be leading by example? When the IPCC has international meetings, the members all fly in to talk about how horrible things will be, yet, we are in the age of the Jetsons, where teleconferencing is not only a reality, but super easy.
I understand the slight upward trend in temperature and the rising co2, I realize that this time, the upward trend is much quicker than in the past. I still hold out hope that most are wrong and this is just a cycle that will do as all cycles do, and eventually, go back to the baseline. If I must be chastised for that belief, so be it. But it would go a long way in convincing everyone that it really is a HUGE deal that we cut emissions, if the key players tried to lessen their carbon footprint just a bit. (IMHO)
If we don't "do something", it will all be over.

People care deeply about the environment as long as caring doesn't inconvenience them.

Well the world tried to do something, but then Trump said nah, he doesn't believe in science. And said America was leaving the Paris Accords. Except America hasn't left the Paris Accords. And, oh, who knows.
I'm not even going to bother trying to summarize the now overwhelming mountain of hard scientific facts that prove climate change is real, the deniers on this site are too ridiculous.
Weird how it's only American right-wingers who refute the scientific evidence.
Because lush gardens and lawns cover more than 50 percent of Vatican City, composting plays a big role in the overall program. This is probably fostered by the fact that the Vatican’s head gardener is also in charge of sanitation. Additional on-call services are provided for bulk waste, white goods, tires, household hazardous waste, outdated pharmaceuticals, fluorescent bulbs and renderings from the butcher shop. Overall, the Vatican’s waste and recycling program includes is a pretty impressive array of services by anybody’s standards.
On the sustainability meter, when it comes to vetting the Vatican’s practices, the reports are favorable. Francis’ predecessor Pope Benedict XVI saw to that. He led the way by installing 2,400 solar panels that power a significant portion of Vatican City. He also replaced the old gas-guzzling Pope-mobile with the now legendary Mercedes hybrid version.
Francis followed suit with the installation of 7,000 LED bulbs in the Sistine Chapel, accompanied by a climate control system that is sensitive to body temperature and movement. At normal intensity, the energy-saving bulbs and the automated cooling system will cut the Vatican’s electricity bill by more than 80 percent. Both also are designed to preserve the priceless works of art housed there.

I agree. I have Solar Panels on my House, I recycle, I vote for politicians that take renewable energy and pollution seriously I have a motorcycle for commute to cut down on my gas consumption when I can.
It's funny how people that believe in man made global warming in the US get called alarmists and worse etc or that we're in a cult. But i'm just over here like, NASA said this these actual scientists said that, this group of climatolgoists said this...this research paper said that. How am I wrong for believing scientists? LOL

Could you post a picture of your solar setup and an explanation of how much it cost, vs. the savings?
