U-T San Diego: Thrilled but not surprised. Veerabhadran Ramanathan felt that way last week when Pope Francis delivered a powerful encyclical pleading with the world to deal with climate change. The UC San Diego climate scientist helped shape the Pope's thinking as a member of the Vaticans Pontifical Academy of Sciences. I saw a draft of the Popes message months ago, said Ramanathan, who works out of UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Some of the words he ended up using are different. But the...

Providence Journal: Pope Francis has made it clear that all of us have a responsibility to be good stewards of this planet, and as such must address the challenge of climate change. Many frame this issue as capitalism vs. Christianity, as economic prosperity vs. morality. But it doesnt have to be one or the other. Just as capitalism has lifted millions out of poverty, it can also provide the answer to the climate challenge. Science tells us the earth is warming, and that greenhouse gas emissions are...

Toronto Star: In Pope Francis church there are no comfortable pews. Rolled-up sleeves and shoulders to the wheel are the order of the day. After demanding that his Catholic Church strip itself of vanity, arrogance and pride and humbly serve the poorest, he has now challenged his 1.2 billion faithful especially those in Canada and other rich countries to take decisive action, here and now to arrest climate change before it overwhelms the planet. Never before has a pope issued such a sweeping call for...

Salt Lake Tribune: History has shown that when religion and science offer divergent views, it leaves plenty of room in the middle for politics. But when religion and science more closely align, as has happened with Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment this week, it gives the politicians less room to operate. That explains why many religious conservatives are saying the pope has ventured into their territory with his unequivocal linking of the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. Papal encyclicals, which...
