Editor’s Note: At 1 P. M., today at the Vatican, the presidents of the episcopal conferences for Asia, Africa and South American presented their document for the proper response to climate change, calling on Catholics to embrace “ecological conversion” in the footsteps of “the prophetic” Pope Francis. The truth is that many of the Bishops of these three conferences want nothing to do with this document, which emanated from the Vatican and is presented to the world as the thought of their mutual conversations and dialogue: a true colonialist ideological imposition.

Vatican News knows that this press conference is full of it, since they have turned off comments in an attempt to squelch the voices of the Faithful, because after all, as we all know, the Synodality promoted by Bergoglio and now Prevost, was all about walking side by side with heretics, while accepting the muzzles and chains that they imposed as an a priori condition.

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

It is frequently alleged that carbon dioxide (CO2) drives global temperatures, yet without physical experimental proof. Churchmen have unfortunately succumbed to the hoax of dangerous uncontrolled climate change from lack of knowledge, and in consequence have greatly misled others.
Climate models developed by climate hoaxers are not physical proof, especially when “tuned” by biased input and false internal strictures to produce a pre-determined result. Temperature increase observed when CO2 is irradiated in a tube in a lab is not proof. It’s a physical experiment, but pertinent climate co-factors are absent that completely change the answer.
On the other hand, there are 3 solid proofs that CO2 has an effect on global temperature that is INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM ZERO.
1/ Temperature always changes before CO2 in the alternations between Ice Ages and warm Interglacial eras (we are now much nearer the end of the Holocene Era interglacial than the beginning). This observation is obtained from Antarctic ice cores that go back 800,000+ years from which information on temperature and CO2 and their relationship in time is derived. This proves that temperature drives CO2, not the opposite. This effect is presumably due to degassing huge amounts of CO2 from the oceans during warming and re-gassing during cooling (the Coca-Cola effect, or Henry’s Law).
2/ The effect of CO2 on temperature can be obtained algebraically. The known effects of sun, volcanic activity and ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) are subtracted from time-temperature series, leaving as residual the effect of CO2. Before subtraction, the lines are upward sloping with time. After subtraction, line slopes are statistically indistinguishable from zero, meaning that the effect of CO2 is too small to be detected. Zero, for all practical purposes.
3/ The forward and backward statistical correlation of CO2 and temperature is determined. There is no correlation between CO2 and temperature 6 months later. On the other hand, there is high correlation between temperature and CO2 6 months later. So, again, it is seen that temperature drives CO2, not the other way around.
By means of 3 different physical experimental approaches, it is shown that CO2 depends on temperature, but temperature doesn’t depend on CO2. Why not? Because other larger factors control global temperatures. The naked assertion without proof of CO2-driven runaway global temperature is conclusively disproved.
Moreover, a recently published peer-reviewed research paper based on measured data demonstrates that much of the warming observed is caused by reduction in cloud cover, such that more sunlight reaches the earth’s surface. This has nothing to do with CO2.
Churchmen haven’t a snowball’s chance in Hell of being faithful to right judgment founded on fact when they don’t know or don’t understand those facts.
