On Tuesday, November 16, the annual U.S. Conference of Bishops met at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore to “act collaboratively and consistently on vital issues confronting the Church and society.”
While the bishops met, another group gathered at the same hotel to melt the man-made global warming narrative, which some leaders in the Catholic Church, including the Pope, have been peddling.
The Deposit of Faith Coalition, a group of over a dozen Catholic organizations, held a press conference to proclaim that climate change is a hoax and to expose church leaders for promoting the scam. The event aimed to pressure the bishops, who last year published a letter praising Congress for “the inclusion of $555 billion in climate investments” in the House-passed reconciliation budget, to renounce their ongoing support for the climate con.
“The Religious Left has become an invaluable ally to the global cabal, to the World Economic Forum, the United Nations and the World Health Organization, in pushing the man-made climate change narrative,” the Deposit of Faith Coalition said in a press release. “But now, the cabal — which includes many leaders of the Catholic Church — is being challenged.”
The speakers for the event were 2022 Nobel Prize recipient in physics Dr. John Clauser; Climate Depot publisher Mark Marano; Michael Voris, a multiple Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist; and finally, international journalist and senior editor for The New American Alex Newman.
Dr. Clauser, known for his groundbreaking contributions to quantum mechanics, opened his presentation by saying, “My message is that the planet is not in peril…. The alleged atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effects on the climate.”
Turning his attention to public policy, Dr. Clauser criticized the government, saying, “The policies that the government has been implementing are totally unnecessary and should be eliminated. Trillions of dollars could be saved.”
The Washington Post published an article covering the press conference stating, “It might have seemed like a fringe event, except for one speaker’s credentials. John F. Clauser shared the Nobel Prize in physics last year before declaring Tuesday that ‘there is no climate crisis’ — a claim that contradicts the overwhelming scientific consensus.”
The Post then took multiple jabs at Mark Marano and Alex Newman, labeling them “right-wing” and accusing them of rejecting “mainstream climate science.” Of course, they neglected to publish anything the two said regarding alleged man-made climate change and only published a few soundbites from Dr. Clauser’s speech.
Newman, who has provided groundbreaking reporting from UN climate summits since 2009, interviewing hundreds of climate scientists, stated that “all of the observed warming of the last few decades can be explained through the urban heat island effect and changes in total solar irradiance.”
Newman also argued that globalist organizations such as the United Nations are weaponizing religious groups, including the Catholic Church, to instill fear and manipulate the masses.
This pushback from Catholic coalitions and individuals, religious or not, comes in light of leaders within the church pushing climate alarmism and hawking progressive propaganda.
The Deposit of Faith organization said, leading up to the press conference, that “recently, Pope Francis lauded the American bishops for their collective stance on climate change, and government efforts pretending to control temperature patterns (which invariably come about by stripping away citizens’ freedoms and economic rights).”
On October 4 of this year, Pope Francis released a new Apostolic Exhortation, a 73-paragraph continuation of his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’, to sound the alarm on climate change, writing:
With the passage of time, I have realized that our responses have not been adequate, while the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point. In addition to this possibility, it is indubitable that the impact of climate change will increasingly prejudice the lives and families of many persons.
The Deposit of Faith Coalition aims to continue their efforts to fight back by “challenging the largely Democratic narrative as Campaign ’24 dawns,” the organization revealed. “Religious leaders tout the Democrats’ climate record as “justification” for supporting the Party of Death — but it’s all a lie.”
Climate change is a hot issue heading into the 2024 elections, and religious leaders with any sense should call the global warming agenda what it is: a scam.
