    NASA was forecasting more like 15 inches last I checked; Catholics should care because that’s still very terrible even though the Vatican won’t be literally wet.

    I mean Catholics care about climate change not just because it might flood the Vatican but that it might flood everywhere

    Y’all haven’t read Laudito Sí?

    “23. The climate is a common good, belonging to all and meant for all. At the global level, it is a complex system linked to many of the essential conditions for human life. A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system. In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon. Humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it.”

    That was 2015. Pope Francis has been asking humanity to curb global emissions for a long time.
