    Meanwhile, the Vatican Climate Forest, a widely publicized carbon-offset project in Hungary designed to make the operations of the Vatican City carbon-neutral, was reportedly a boondoggle that never led to any actual trees being planted.

    No big deal though, they have a whole year to repent for the abortion of this project.

      Like God really cares? If He didn’t want us to destroy ourselves with carbon, He wouldn’t have given us so damn much of it. Or made it sooo delicious. Offsetting carbon use seems too much like “playing God” for my taste.

    Hey, don’t screw with trees. Mr. T did, cut down lots of them around his Chicago suburban estate back in the ’80s (known as the Lake Forest Chain Saw Massacre), and soon after his health failed, and he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. Coincidence? Ask the trees...

      You should at least post it to Facebook and tag your immediate and extended family.

    More importantly: What does the Pope do in a large gathering of trees? What might be called ‘the woods’, if you will.

    You know what I’m getting at.

    And from Wikipedia’s Clipperton Island page, here is a small grove of what appear to be trees. I count about three of them.

      I have actually been in that garden, and can confirm that there are trees.

      Also, it is an amazing garden.

          2. Satellite imagery shows abundance of trees in Vatican City.

          3. ???????????????

          4. Profit

        Clearly this is just a coverup for the Pope’s new army of Sentient MegaBroccoli.

          Those aren’t trees. They’re underage boy bunkers for the priests, designed to look like a magical forest so the children will feel at home when they “receive the body and blood of Christ.”

            Wow. Trees, huh? And the Pope’s involved.

            Say, you all didn’t happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?
