Background
Cardinal George Pell is a senior figure in the Roman Catholic Church. He was recently found guilty of sexual offences in Australia in February 2019. The judgement makes Pell โthe highest-ranking Catholic figure to receive such a conviction,โ BBC News reported. Pell has appealed the ruling.6โGeorge Pell: Cardinal found guilty of sexual offences in Australia,โ BBC News, February 26, 2019. Archived February 26, 2019. Archive.fo URL: https://archive.fo/7dlFy
Pell is the former Archbishop of Sydney, and the head of the Vaticanโs treasury. He was appointed by Pope Francis as Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, a position where he would โmodernise and improve the Vaticanโs financial processes to ensure they were more accountable and transparent.โ Pope Francis removed Pell from his group of close advisers following sex abuse scandals, Reuters reported in December 2018.7โCardinal George Pell,โ Archdiocese of Sydney. Archived May 15, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/pZzpP
Pell has been described as a spiritual advisor to former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Pell and Abott also share similar views about climate change, having both given speeches at the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a UK think tank that questions the danger of man-made climate change.8Graham Readfearn. โClimate Scientists Attack Tony Abbott’s ‘Misleading’ Speech to Global Warming Policy Foundation,โ DeSmog, October 9, 2017.
Pell first faced official sexual offence charges on June 29, 2017, three weeks after he met with US EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt in a dinner at the Vatican.9Melissa Davey. โCardinal George Pell: Vatican treasurer faces historical sexual offences trial,โ The Guardian, May 1, 2018. Archived May 15, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/T6Cua
Pell’s name was reportedly left off multiple versions of Pruitt’s EPA schedule during the Vatican trip. An email from an EPA staff member during the dinner suggested Pell and Pruitt had discussed a Wall Street Journal article reporting on the proposed โred team/blue teamโ debate on climate science.10Graham Readfearn. โGeorge Pell met US environment chief Scott Pruitt to discuss climate-change debate,โ The Guardian, May 11, 2018.

Stance on Climate Change
2011
In a lecture entitled One Christian Perspective on Climate Change, delivered to the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) in 2011:11โCardinal George Pell: One Christian Perspective On Climate Change,โ The Global Warming Policy Foundation, October 26, 2011. Archived November 22, 2011. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/UYfUX
โMine is not an appeal to the authority of any religious truth in the face of contrary scientific evidence. Neither is it even remotely tinged by a post-modernist hostility to rationality. I reject emphatically the claim that most science can be dismissed or at least downgraded as socially constructed by the great and the powerful, although the enduring power of a paradigm, of established patterns of reasoning can help the self-interested to distort science for a time.
โMy appeal is to reason and evidence and in my view the evidence is insufficient to achieve practical certainty on many of these scientific issues. Much less is there validation to justify huge public expenditure on these phantoms.โ
January 3, 2010
โIt is hostile and deceitful to claim that sceptics deny the reality of climate change. Everyone accepts that climates have changed over the centuries. The debate is about whether these changes are outside the regular patterns of the two Christian millennia, for example; and whether human activity is provoking a disastrous warming, or is even a powerful agent of temperature change. [โฆ]โ
In fact, more and more evidence from long ago is suggesting we understand imperfectly why climates change, and that many factors as well as carbon dioxide contribute: for example, activity on the sun, the orbit of the earth and its wobbles, clouds, water vapour, oceans, volcanoes and bovine flatulence. Scientific evidence is not changed by governmental consensus, political will, or strong arm tactics,โ Pell wrote in a column at the Sunday Telegraph.12George Pell. โKing Canute,โ Sunday Telegraph, January 3, 2010.

โThe carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to rise, but the world’s temperature has not risen since 1998,โ Pell wrote in a column at the Sunday Telegraph.13Cardinal George Pell. โGlobal Warming Pauses,โ Sunday Telegraph, May 24, 2009.

Pell mentioned climate change in his speech at the Legatus Summit in Naples, Florida U.S.A:14โIslam and Western Democracies,โ Archdiocese of Sydney, April 2, 2006. Archived June 5, 2006.
โSome of the hysteric and extreme claims about global warming are also a symptom of pagan emptiness, of Western fear when confronted by the immense and basically uncontrollable forces of nature. Belief in a benign God who is master of the universe has a steadying psychological effect, although it is no guarantee of Utopia, no guarantee that the continuing climate and geographic changes will be benign. In the past pagans sacrificed animals and even humans in vain attempts to placate capricious and cruel gods. Today they demand a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.โ
Key Quotes
July 2015
Pell publicly criticized Pope Francis’s choice to focus on climate change as a key issue, one month after the Pope released a historic encyclical on the environment that encouraged humanity to fight climate change. Pell told the Financial Times โthe church had โno particular expertise in science.โ15โCardinal George Pell criticises Pope Francis over climate change stance,โ The Sydney Morning Herald, July 19, 2015.
โThe church has got no mandate from the Lord to pronounce on scientific matters,โ he said,
โWe believe in the autonomy of science.โ
October 27, 2011
In an article in The Australian, echoing a recent speech by Cardinal George Pell at the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Pell said that โthe evidence is insufficient to achieve practical certaintyโ regarding climate change. He described the view that the science is settled as โ a cop-out, a way of avoiding the basic issues.โ16George Pell. โBe prudent with climate claims,โ The Australian, October 27, 2011. Archived May 14, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/uJtmT
โThe immense financial costs true believers would impose on economies can be compared with the sacrifices offered traditionally in religion, and the sale of carbon credits with the pre-Reformation practice of selling indulgences,โ Pell added.
โSome of those campaigning to save the planet are not merely zealous but zealots. To the religionless and spiritually rootless, mythology – whether comforting or discomforting – can be magnetically, even pathologically, attractiveโ
On extreme weather:
[โฆ] โExtreme weather events are to be expected. This is why I support the views of Bjorn Lomborg and Bob Carter that money should be used to raise living standards and reduce vulnerability to catastrophes.โ

Cardinal George Pell was charged with sexual assault, making him the highest-ranking Vatican official in recent years to face similar charges. His accusations include mishandling misconduct cases against clergy members while he served in the Archdioceses of Melbourne and Sydney.

โWe should listen carefully to the social and ethical concerns raised by Cardinal Pell [โฆ] I believe that nobody has done more to raise these awkward questions within the Catholic Church than Cardinal Pell. It is an irony of our bewildering times that it is a courageous churchman who dares to question one of our societyโs most entrenched dogmas โ but that is exactly what he will do tonight.โ
