<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Last
month, Pope Francis issued an encyclical, Laudato Si,
which has received widespread publicity and attention. In
it the Pope said many things of note regarding the climate
and the moral necessity for action to stabilize it, such
as: <b>“There is an urgent need to develop policies so
that, in the next few years, the emission of carbon
dioxide and other highly polluting gases can be
drastically reduced, for example, substituting for
fossil fuels and developing sources of renewable
energy.”</b><span style="color:black"> He also wrote at
length about the broader environmental crisis and its
connection to poverty and economic injustice and
inequality.<br>
<br>
The Pope has taken this initiative in part to influence
the important UN Climate Conference in Paris in
December, and he is visiting the United States in
September. On the 24<sup>th</sup> he will speak in
Washington, DC before a joint session of Congress and on
the 25<sup>th</sup> will speak to the UN General
Assembly in New York City.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
