Pope Francis has endorsed the science behind global warming and chastised the most powerful and polluting countries for not doing enough to address the problem. Reducing emissions, he wrote demands “honesty, courage and responsibility…”
The primary driver of global warming is increased carbon-based energy production as a consequence of economic development and an exponentially growing world population. Therefore I propose that the Pope displays “honesty, courage and responsibility” and reverses the 1968 encyclical by Pope Paul VI forbidding birth control and furthermore encourages Catholic couples to limit themselves to 2 children. Anything less would be hypocrisy.
On a related note, I am greatly enjoying the unease displayed by Catholic Republican politicians who are deniers of global warming.
