Pope Francis has flown to the Philippines, an island nation frequently hit by natural disasters, declaring that man is primarily responsible for climate change.

Wading into the climate change debate on board the papal plane, the Pope told journalists he hoped negotiators at the next round of climate change talks in Paris in November would take a courageous stand to protect the environment.

"I don't know if it is all (man's fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature," he said.

"We have in a sense taken over nature. I think we have exploited nature too much."

The comments were Pope Francis' clearest on the environment since he pledged to make the issue a priority on the day of his installation as Pope in 2013.

"We have, in a sense, lorded it over nature, over Sister Earth, over Mother Earth," said the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, who has in the past spoken about the need to protect the environment.

"I think man has gone too far," he said.

"Thank God that today there are voices that are speaking about this."

Greeted in Manila by ecstatic crowds on Thursday evening, Pope Francis will on Saturday travel to Leyte, the island hardest hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and meet with survivors.

You're factually just making shite up as you saddle along like clint tryhard 

Scientists 'must be emotionally charged' about climate change to highlight its dangers, claims expert..Professor Chris Rapley: http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/scientists-must-be-emotionally-charged-about-climate-change-to-highlight-its-dangers-claims-expert-9950692.html

There are so many holes in Climate Change, only last year, we found out the Climate is much less sensitive to Co2 than we thought, the results would mean all projections would be off, however this news was largely ignored..as Scientists continue to use outdate data basted on incorrect models.

Then you have hundreds of peer review studies proving post climate change predictions have their data manipulate to get a result they wont, as the results dont match up with the data thats imputted. http://wmbriggs.com/public/Monckton.et.al.pdf

For example the IPCC has long predicted that doubling the CO2 in the air might eventually warm the Earth by 3.3 oC, and as i point out in another post IPCC has been caught manipulating data (and despite caught lying, we continue to use their projections) However, Majority of small peer -review models predicts no more than 1 oC warming instead—and possibly much less which would much up with the discovery that the Climate is much less sensitive to Co2 than we thought

It seems most climate change believers are blind followers were are blind to huge holes.

and all you have to do is show us a SINGLE climate condition that is outside the bounds of normal variability or even trending towards such.

the ACC hysteria is astonishing to watch as millions of people get into a hysterical lather about something that does not exist and for which there is zero evidence.

Its the best evidence we have for the stupidity of mankind.
