    It seems to me that the influence of the head of a religious minority on the political and economic decisions of the free world is grossly overestimated.

      We need every reasonably large group on board, so Catholic support for doing the right thing is something I’ll welcome.

        Sorry for having mistold you, but I’m German. Last year, our proportion of Catholics was 23.7% - and less than 50% of the population are of any Christian confession anymore.

          So the impact of Chinese climate policy is also vastly overestimated because the Chinese are a small minority of earths people?

            There are roughly 1.3 billion Catholics around the world. I hope you understand that 1.3 is less than 50% of 6.
