Vatican, U.N. join forces against climate change
2015-04-29
[USATODAY] Top officials from the Vatican, the head of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
and leading scientists came together at a summit Tuesday in Vatican City to label the fight against man-made climate change as a "moral issue."

"Mitigating climate change and adapting to its effects are necessary to eradicate extreme poverty, reduce inequality and secure equitable, sustainable economic development," said Ban Ki Moon, U.N. secretary-general, in the keynote speech.

"It is a moral issue. It is an issue of social justice, human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
and fundamental ethics," Ki-Moon said, adding that "climate change is the defining issue of our time."

The summit, arranged by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, is the prologue to Pope Francis' June encyclical -- one of the highest forms of papal expression -- that will promote climate change action, framing it as a moral and religious imperative.

#1  So, we're going back to the Ptolemaic system of the universe. Cause you told Copernicus, Galileo, et al, that the science was settled before.
