It Takes A Lot Of Jet Fuel To Throw A Funeral For A Climate Alarmist Pope

"If Francis’ climate beliefs were ever to become policy prescriptions, most of the world would die, starting with the poor, elderly, and sick."

"John Kerry was there. Why? Because he’s John Kerry, and you’re not. The former Biden administration “climate czar” sees himself as the pope of his own religion, flying around the world in a year more than most people would in many lifetimes."

"In his final act as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Francis, in keeping with his deep commitment to the climate and well-cultivated image of personal humility, could have foregone a papal funeral.

"To the thousands of world leaders and dignitaries flying to Rome as required by international protocol, Pope Francis could have extended an invitation to stay home. He could have ordered he not lie in state, preventing the Vatican pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of faithful to pay their respects. He could have even skipped the motorcade through the streets of Rome. All this, as a memorable gesture to maintain a smaller carbon footprint — one last gift to the planet by not contributing to the climate crisis.

"He did not.

"In the final moments Francis’ mortal body was on this earth, the Holy Father demonstrated ever more clearly that indeed, there is no climate crisis. There are no personal actions he or the world’s elite would ever, ever, take for the climate. It is all theater.

"On climate change, Francis died as he lived: another political hypocrite.

"Harsh words coming from me, a Catholic, about the Pope, let alone the recently deceased Pope, but Francis’ climate alarmism, nay his downright climate ignorance, are far, far worse. If Francis’ climate beliefs were ever to become policy prescriptions, most of the world would die, starting with the poor, elderly, and infirm. We can only thank God the Pope no longer has an army.

"Francis visited 68 countries during his reign. The jet fuel and the tanks of gas came from somewhere. So too the altars erected in parks and fields so the enormous crowds could gather to his side. For example, at World Youth Day in Manila, the largest ever Mass in history saw 6 million in attendance. Quite a petrochemical-heavy event. Media praised Francis, who braved the pouring rain, driving the gas-powered Popemobile around the grounds wearing a waterproof, plastic poncho.

"Thank you, fossil fuels, for making it possible for the Bishop of Rome to be in the Philippines. Thank you, fossil fuel workers, laboring in difficult, even dangerous jobs, for providing him with these resources." . . .

Which takes us to more world leader satire:  McDonalds Announces Impeachment Meal Deal    Chicago, IL -- Fast food giant McDonald's announced an 'Impeachment Meal Deal' whenever Democrats try to impeach US President Donald Trump.  According to advertisements on the McDonald's website, "Every time an impeachment resolution is filed against the president, you can purchase two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and your choice of a chocolate milkshake or diet coke for only 47 cents!"  

"McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski answered questions about the new promotion, noting it was probably the first time a food special has been tied to repetitive, groundless impeachment attempts of a US president." . . .
