• Resumen

  • Pope Francis has made history this week with a call for worldwide cooperation to avert dangerous global warming. It is the Catholic church's most powerful statement yet on the environment and climate change. A leaked draft of the encyclical--a special type of edict used to define key priorities for the church and its 1.3 billion adherents--calls for changes in lifestyle and energy use to avoid the "unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem." It warns that failure to act would have "grave consequences." It also calls for a new global political authority to reduce pollution and help poor countries and regions develop.
