Quick Take
An article published on a media website claims that Bill Clinton and Pope Francis called for urgent depopulation. We fact-checked and found the claim to be False.
The Claim
An article featured on The People’s Voice, a media website, suggests that Bill Clinton and Pope Francis have collaborated to encourage global leaders to prioritize population control as a means of addressing environmental concerns often referred to as global overheating.
Fact Check
Did Bill Clinton and Pope Francis call for urgent depopulation?
No evidence suggests that Bill Clinton and Pope Francis have advocated for immediate depopulation. To investigate the origins of this claim, we conducted a Google search. A transcript published on the Clinton Foundation website reveals that on September 18, 2023, Pope Francis engaged in a remote discussion with Bill Clinton, addressing topics related to climate change and migration. However, the transcript does not mention the subject of depopulation.
Even the official Vatican transcript does not talk about depopulation. Furthermore, a video recording of the conversation, publicly available on C-SPAN, corroborates that neither Bill Clinton nor Pope Francis made any reference to depopulation or topics connected to population control.
Our research shows that the People’s Voice website has a history of disseminating inconsistent and misleading information through social media channels. In a prior instance, we debunked a claim made by this website asserting that the Dutch were euthanizing individuals without their consent. Additionally, in another article, the website suggested that Pope Francis was endorsing euthanasia. Further investigation revealed that this particular website is notorious for regularly publishing stories lacking scientific evidence to support their claims. It is important to note that The People’s Voice, formerly known as Newspunch, has a well-established track record as a source of false information, having been in existence for a considerable period. They frequently propagate stories that lack credibility and authenticity.
