Um, serious nonsequitor anyone? As a sometimes journalist, I generally take the journalist’s side, but this is seriously bad journalism. There is no relationship between these two sentences.

Let’s be clear about this: To reduce greenhouse emissions, first you must eliminate the Petroleum industry, Exxon, BP., get rid of your gas guzzling car and anything that uses fossil fuels! Then, you should force ALL Governments to change their policies supporting the Oil industry, fracking, coal mining, slash and burn monoculture type of agriculture.
They are the #1 enemy of our survival.
Don’t fall for these misleading articles. What the Church does is a drop in the ocean.
