By agreement with the Vatican, Planktos/KlimaFa is now pleased and honored to announce that the Vatican plans to become the first entirely carbon neutral sovereign state, and it has accepted KlimaFa ecorestoration offsets to achieve this historic goal. In a brief ceremony on July 5th the Vatican declared that it had gratefully accepted KlimaFa’s offer to create a new Vatican Climate Forest in Europe that will initially offset all of the Vatican City State’s CO2 emissions for this year.

His Most Reverend Eminence Cardinal Paul Poupard presided at the event and stated, “As President of the Pontifical Council of Culture; I am honoured to receive this donation from the leaders of Planktos-KlimaFa. This donation means an entire section of a national park in central Europe will be reforested. In this way, the Vatican will do its small part in contributing to the elimination of polluting emissions from CO2 which is threatening the survival of this planet.

“As the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, had recently stated, the international community needs to respect and encourage a ‘Green Culture,’ characterized by ethical values. The Book of Genesis tells us of a beginning in which God placed man as guardian over the earth to make it fruitful. When man forgets that he is a faithful servant of this earth, it becomes a desert that threatens the survival of all creation…”

Nothing wrong with this, forests are good for us all.

Now if all the company that gets the money from the Vatican and no forests are restored then I would object.

I think it is great to plant trees. I am all for living conservatively, in politics, religion, and ecologically.

HOWEVER…It is a proven fact that at one time most of the US was covered by a glacier!!! Isn’t it a good thing that at that time no one was around trying to be “carbon neutral”? If they had we wouldn’t be here today, just a bunch of penguins and polar bears.

I am sorry for those who believe that GOD in his infinite wisdom, who lives outside of time, who can institute a sacrifice that lasts for “all time”, could not forsee “global warming”! I think he planned it!

You want to believe these scientists can predict with accuracy how fast our planet is warming, and the fact that they can now tell we are accelerating that process, using statistics that they have “thought” through? There has only been data collected for about the last few hundred years. (I am giving them the benefit of the doubt on hundreds, It is probably only about 100 years that the measurements could be considered acurate).

These same scientists have not been able to predict with accuracy, hurricanes, droughts, tornados, etc. These things are visible to us, have measurable statistics in realtime, yet they cannot tell you when the next hurricane will hit and where.

And they think Catholics are arogant for stating we are the only true church when we have over 2000 years of documentation backing that statement up. Please!!!
