Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris agreement has attracted scathing comments from world leaders, politicians, entrepreneurs, and pretty much everyone who doesn’t want to do terrible damage to our planet.
The decision has even drawn the wrath of the Vatican, which Trump visited just last week. Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, head of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, made his critical remarks known in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
“Thinking that we need and must rely on coal and oil is like claiming that the Earth is not round. It’s an absurdity brought forward only to make money,” Sanchez Sorondo stated. “I believe that oil lobbyists are behind this decision. They are pushing for it. Big oil is pulling Trump's strings and he can’t oppose them, although this doesn’t mean he wants to.”
I'm sorry but when the Vatican, the freaking VATICAN, compares you to a flat earther you have to KNOW that you are truly making a fool of yourself.
This is the head of the church behind the Inquisition and the burning of those accused of witchcraft at the stake, the idea that THEY are more scientifically advanced than the president of the United States is almost too ironic to imagine.
Somewhere Galileo Galilei is shaking his head in wonder.
