Your comment demonstrates the socialist beliefs behind climate change which Pope Francis agrees with.  It ignores the historic progress and benefits human life has enjoyed due to the Industrial Revolution to today.  For example: "Internationally, according to the United Nations and the World Bank, global extreme poverty has been measurably reduced in recent decades.  The UN reports that 'extreme poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 1990,' a report similarly confirmed by World Bank -'the international community reached its first goal of cutting in half the 1990 rate of 35% 'five years ahead of schedule, in 2010.'  While it is still true that global extreme poverty remains 'unacceptably high' according to the World Bank, these gains in recent decades show some promise for the reduction of poverty internationally.  The World Bank has set a goal to reduce poverty to 3% of the world population by 2030,'"  That is some 60+ years sooner than CC's projected goals.
