Vatican City, Jan 11 (AP) Pope Benedict XVI denounced the failure of world leaders to agree to a new climate change treaty in Copenhagen last month, saying today that world peace depends on safeguarding God's creation.
He issued the admonition in a speech to ambassadors accredited to the Vatican, an annual appointment during which the pontiff reflects on issues the Vatican wants to highlight to the diplomatic corps.
Benedict has been dubbed the "green pope" for his increasingly vocal concern about the need to protect the environment.
Under his watch, the Vatican has installed photovoltaic cells on its main auditorium to convert sunlight into electricity and has joined a reforestation project aimed at offsetting its CO2 emissions.
For the pontiff, it's a moral issue: Church teaching holds that man must respect creation because it's destined for the benefit of humanity's future.

My comment
Either the Pope does not get out much or he is for the New World Order of distributing the wealth of laborious nations to those who struggle to advance their fiscal society. If the latter, the Pope needs to read the Bible, if the former, he needs to get on Twitter.
Fact: Carbon is not causing any climate change, other then to help plantlife and animals, including humans survive on the planet: More carbon, more life.
Fact: Oil is not but a fossil fuel. It is nectar from the Earth and is replenished by the Earth. Good stewardship in the use of oil is key to protecting humans from extinction.
Green energy is very costly and though a good idea, has not earned it's right to ensure energy production fiscally, thus is a detriment to humans as a mandate.
Copenhagen is merely a shell game to push world governance, the enemy of the end times as it is written.
