Gov Jerry Brown was speaking ahead of meetings organised by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on climate change
Pope Francis’s encyclical letter on the environment was “appropriate and absolutely essential” for waking people up to the dangers of climate change, the Governor of California has said.
“The world is going its merry way, with a few notable exceptions, and climate change is building up in very soon-to-be irreversible ways that will very dramatically increase human suffering,” the 77-year-old governor Jerry Brown told Catholic News Service in Rome.
Brown was scheduled to speak from July 21 and 22 at meetings organised by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on climate change, human trafficking and the UN’s sustainable development goals. Most of the participants were mayors from about 60 cities around the world.
In the encyclical, Pope Francis had written specifically about the role and responsibility of politicians in enacting policies to safeguard the environment and counteract climate change.
“In the absence of pressure from the public and from civic institutions, political authorities will always be reluctant to intervene, all the more when urgent needs must be met,” the Pope wrote in Laudato Si’, his encyclical letter.

To be accurate it should read...
“Participants were LEFTIST mayors from 60 cities around the world.”
But lest I criticize wrongly, perhaps leftist mayors are the only ones elected nowadays.
They always say that. Back in 2003, we were told that this year is the tipping point, after which global warming will be rapid and irreversable.
