Friday's commute on the New York subway will be even more cheek-by-jowl than usual with the visit of Pope Francis to the Big Apple. In part, that's because The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has advised people to use the subway in favor of driving into Manhattan, or taking a bus.

Pope Francis Words to Congress: A Rallying Call for Climate Action

EcoWatch: I find it really interesting how news stories and social media reporting on Pope Francis visit to the U.S. have responded to his taking a strong stand on climate change.

2015-09-24 16:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Earlier this year, Pope Francis called for decisive climate action in his encyclical.
