Pope Francis denounced global inequalities and said that 'consumerist greed, fueled by selfish hearts, is disrupting the planet's water cycle.'
VATICAN CITY – The world must rapidly ditch fossil fuels and end “the senseless war against creation,” Pope Francis said on Thursday, May 25, in a fresh plea over climate change that called on people to repent for their “ecological sins.”
In a message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, he said a UN climate summit meeting in Dubai on November 30 to December 12 “must listen to science and institute a rapid and equitable transition to end the era of fossil fuel.” “The unrestrained burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of forests are pushing temperatures higher and leading to massive droughts,” Francis said, also criticizing oil and gas fracking and “unchecked mega-mining projects.”
