Pope Francis said yesterday that climate change denials amid catastrophic hurricanes are a reminder that humans are not a particularly smart species, the Huffington Post website reports today (September 11, 2017).
"Man is stupid," he said, referring to a passage in the Old Testament. "When you don't want to see, you don't see."
The pope added that the scientific community has been "clear and precise" in linking human activities to the ongoing crisis and that "each [person] has a moral responsibility, bigger or smaller."
Pope Francis' comments came during a flight from Colombia to Rome, which passed over areas of the Caribbean Sea left devastated by Hurricane Irma.
