ClimateWire: Pope Francis has led the Catholic Church for less than two years. But during that short window, he has breathed new life into a religion struggling with apathy and scandal; earned the praise of social justice activists around the world for an intense focus on poverty; and even played a role in ending a half-century-old stalemate between Cuba and the United States. So environmental activists were excited to read in The Guardian last week that Francis will add to this busy agenda by making climate...

Guardian: Make no mistake about it, there is no longer any rationale for division between science and faith. Over the past decades, scientists and persons of faith have learned to dance in a complementary manner, a non-overlapping magisterium as the saying sometimes goes. But as prior conflicts were found to be more molehill than mountain, leaders among the scientific and religious communities have explored collaborative ways to answer scientific questions and provide solutions to real-world problems that...

Star-Ledger: Look back on 2014, and it seems like a pretty good year for climate activism. There was that massive rally in New York City's Central Park -- the largest climate march in history. The first-ever federal limits were imposed on carbon pollution by American power plants. And China finally agreed to limit its own emissions for the first time, singing a pact with the United States that could pave the way to a global pact. All cause for confetti. Make no mistake, though: This battle is still being...

The Pope Blesses the Climate Treaty

Bloomberg: When a church that once felt threatened by heliocentrism sees hydrocarbons as a threat to Gods creation, there is reason to hope that todays science skeptics will find religion, too. Fresh off his success in helping to end one of the last remaining battles of the Cold War, Pope Francis is turning his attention -- and bringing his considerable star power -- to the fight against global warming. His decision to push for an international treaty on climate change in Paris in December may alienate...
