Ecologist: The Pope has urged Catholics around the world to sign a new faith-inspired petition calling on world leaders to limit global warming to 1.5C, shortly after declaring that there is 'clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act' on climate change. Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest, and will leave an unnecessarily dire legacy for future generations.

Mashable: The buildup to Pope Francis' planned encyclical on global climate change has begun, with the moral case for acting to combat manmade global warming taking center stage in a way it never has before. The encyclical, which is a papal letter sent to all bishops around the world, will likely come out next month, but Francis is already having an influence on the global debate about climate change.

Four-fifths (80 per cent) of those...
