Seattle Globalist: Pope Francis is not the first to urge humanity to change its wasteful ways. But he may have given the harshest lecture last week, when he released an encyclical condemning policymakers weak responses to climate change problems, calling developed countries to cut carbon emissions, and linking climate change and social inequity. The deterioration of the environment and of society affects the most vulnerable people on the planet, the encyclical reads. Both everyday experience and scientific research...

InsideClimate: The Holy Father doesnt give carbon credits or air conditioners his imprimatur. He favors a legally binding climate treaty tailored to the needs of the poor. And he has guidance on natural gas, boycotts, and paying the social costs of carbon. Fifty-five paragraphs into his wide-ranging encyclical on the global environment and the climate crisis, Pope Francis arched an ecclesiastical eyebrow at how much air conditioning you are using. "People may well have a growing ecological sensitivity," he wrote,...
How Pope Franciss Climate Encyclical Is Disrupting American Politics

EcoWatch: The Republican reaction to Pope Franciss climate encyclical, juxtaposed to the Democratic congressional rebellion against President Obama on trade, suggest that climate and energy are powerfully disrupting the grid-locked orthodoxy which has dominated American politics for the last decade. The Tea Party-Koch brothers wing of conservatism, (and the corporate wing of the Democratic Party), are clearly on the defensive. The most significant tell is the flailing responses of reactionaries to the...
