ROME — Pope Francis told CBS News this week that climate change deniers are “stupid” to refute compelling evidence of a climate emergency.“Why? Because they don’t understand the situation, or because of their interests, but climate change exists,” the 87-year-old pope asserted.

CBS aired portions of the interview Wednesday night on the Evening News and has scheduled a longer version to air May 20 on “60 Minutes,” followed by an hourlong prime time special. Pope Francis once again appealed for a concerted international effort to battle climate change Monday, insisting that no one is exempt from this task.“There are about 600 people there, and they tell me what’s going on,” he said. “It’s very hard; it’s very hard.”“Now is the time to abandon our dependence on fossil fuels and move, quickly and decisively, towards forms of clean energy and a sustainable and circular economy,” he exhorted in September 2019.

Among the “fools” denounced by the pope for their “perverse” skepticism of the climate crisis are a group of over 1,600 prominent scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners, who issued the “World Climatethat climate models have proven inadequate for predicting global warming, that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, and that climate change has not increased natural disasters.
