Pontiff laments that some ‘ridicule those who speak of global warming’, days after Trump’s claims of ‘con job’
Pope Leo XIV has taken aim at people who “ridicule those who speak of global warming” as he strongly embraced Pope Francis’s environmental legacy and made it his own in some of his strongest and most extensive comments on the subject to date.
Leo presided over the 10th-anniversary celebration of Francis’s landmark ecological encyclical, Laudato Si (Praised Be), at a global gathering south of Rome. The encyclical cast care for the planet as an urgent and existential moral concern and launched a global grassroots movement to advocate for caring for God’s creation and the peoples most harmed by its exploitation.
