SAN DIEGO The Pope reached across the aisle of all denominations and all nations to address the issues of global warming.
In a statement on the Vatican website, Pope Benedict XVI made a bold call to action for all people in all nations.
We are committed to ensuring that all inhabitants of this planet receive their daily bread, fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink, as we are aware that, if we want justice and peace, we must protect the habitat that sustains us. The believers among us ask God to grant us this wish.
The bold remarks came after the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS) presented new evidence on climate change to the Vatican.
