Popes Warning On Climate Change
Stirs Controversy
THE POPE'S 2015 GLOBAL WARMING SUMMIT
VATICAN
On the day he was elected pope, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of
Argentina stood before a line of his fellow cardinals to
receive their blessings.
"Don't forget the poor," whispered his Brazilian friend
, Cardinal Claudio Hummes, as the two embraced in the
Sistine Chapel. And with that, Bergoglio knew the papal
name he would choose.

"Immediately I thought of St. Francis of Assisi," he later said
. "A man of poverty, a man who loved and protected creation."
To the delight of many around the world - and the
consternation of many others - Francis on Thursday will
honor his namesake with an encyclical asserting that modern
climate change is real, mostly man-made, and of compelling
moral concern because global warming is an affliction
wrought by wealthy nations with disproportionate impact on
the poor.
