Resumen de Time for a new act
Pearce tackles two recent climate change interventions. The pope's encyclical on climate change on Jun 18 didn't say anything new scientifically. But it used a different language. It raised the ethical stakes, and challenged the often-conservative religious world to step up as stewards of the planet. A week later, a court in the Netherlands broke new ground by ordering the Dutch government to do more to fight climate change--rising seas pose a particular threat to this low-lying country. Courts in other countries will hear similar class actions from those whose lives are blighted by climate change.
