In the Encyclical Letter, Laudato Si (Praise be to you, On care for our Common Home), the Pope writes about climate change.
He says we have to stop burning coal:"We know that technology based on the use of highly polluting fossil fuels – especially coal, but also oil and, to a lesser degree, gas – needs to be progressively replaced without delay. Until greater progress is made in developing widely accessible sources of renewable energy, it is legitimate to choose the lesser of two evils or to find short-term solutions."
He says our gift to the next generation may be desolation:"We may well be leaving to coming generations debris, desolation and filth. The pace of consumption, waste and environmental change has so stretched the planet’s capacity that our contemporary lifestyle, unsustainable as it is, can only precipitate catastrophes, such as those which even now periodically occur in different areas of the world."He says we have to act immediately:"The effects of the present imbalance can only be reduced by our decisive action, here and now."
