Heed Pope call to reduce global warming

The advocacy by the Holy See for proper mitigation of global warming is laudable. It is important to note that Pope Francis realises the importance of the environment and reiterates that it is a fundamental good that mankind is not authorised to abuse and destroy.

Interesting is the fact that Pope Francis took his campaign to the heart of New York City in the US, which is the second largest country in emission of carbon dioxide - the main contributor to global warming.
