Recently, Argentinian Pope Francis has decided to join the ranks  of socially progressive academia, the artistic community, corporate, and the political elite to present Climate Change as one of the most perilous conditions facing mankind. In 2015, the Pontiff plans to address the 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide and impress upon them the moral and social imperative to view the impending disastrous “global warming” as a threat of the first order to the fate of man and the Earth as we know it. As reported by The Guardian:

“In 2015, the pope will issue a lengthy message on the subject to the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, give an address to the UN general assembly and call a summit of the world’s main religions.

The reason for such frenetic activity, says Bishop Marcelo Sorondo, chancellor of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences, is the pope’s wish to directly influence next year’s crucial UN climate meeting in Paris, when countries will try to conclude 20 years of fraught negotiations with a universal commitment to reduce emissions.”
