Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is to change the economic model of the world, i.e., destroy capitalism, not save the environment.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution” (emphasis mine).
Now Pope Francis has entered the fray with his encyclical, the first papal missive devoted entirely to climate change. Pope Francis called for a sweeping cultural revolution to correct what he described as a “global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods” (emphasis mine). Pope Francis and Christine Figueres not only have Marxism in common but also both believe in wealth redistribution. Well Pope Francis, you first: let the Catholic Church lead the way with its billions of dollars.
