That\u2019s like baked in, done, no way to change that?\u201d he asked Figueres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is pressure in the system to go toward that; we can definitely change those, right? We can definitely change those numbers,\u201d Figueres said in response.<\/p>\n<p>Really, we should make every effort to change those numbers because we are already, today, already exceeding the planet\u2019s planetary carrying capacity.\u201d she also claimed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What kind of sweeping, arrogant, ignorant statement is that?\u00a0 Is the Earth some Airbus to Hell where you can only carry on one bag and a computer?\u00a0 Someone told her the &#8216;planet&#8217;s planetary capacity&#8217; and she believed it &#8211; and look, we&#8217;ve exceeded it already!\u00a0 That must be why we have all that warming which no-one can feel or detect. Humans have already ruined the climate so humans must cease.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo yes we should do everything possible. But we cannot fall into the very simplistic opinion of saying just by curtailing population then we\u2019ve solved the problem. It is not either\/or, it is an and\/also.\u201d the UN official also said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is one thing liberals never are and it&#8217;s simple.\u00a0 They are always complex and complicated and <em>we<\/em> are simple. That must be why Pope Francis <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/pope-francis-leads-roman-catholics-easter-319707\" target=\"_blank\">told <\/a>us on Good Friday to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;enter into the mystery of the empty tomb&#8221;, to &#8220;seek a deeper meaning, an answer, and not an easy one, to the questions which challenge our faith, our fidelity and our very existence.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Truth is so complicated it can&#8217;t even be known or believed.\u00a0 To have faith is far too simple a solution.\u00a0 We must always question, question, question.<\/p>\n<p>That must also be why Pope Francis, author of the upcoming encyclical on the climate and sustainability, recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2917146\/Pope-Catholics-dont-like-rabbits.html?printingPage=true\" target=\"_blank\">warned <\/a>against breeding like rabbits.\u00a0 I think three-children is the &#8220;number experts say is important to keep the population going,&#8221; he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/full-text-of-popes-in-flight-interview-from-manila-to-rome-84716\/\" target=\"_blank\">advised<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why we must get this kind of moral advice from someone who has such weak discernment, who relates to UN overlords with planetary egos and systemic ignorance, I have no idea; but he&#8217;s the Pope foisted on us upon Benedict&#8217;s abdication, and we have to size up the situation for what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change &#8216;c&#8217;atholicism coming up next, you dirty rabbits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>InfoWars reports: Officials within the UN are pushing the notion that the human population should be reduced in order to effectively combat climate change.
