Why bless ice?
The answer is to raise awareness about climate change. The chunk of ice he blessed was actually a chunk of the Greenland glacier. Blessing the piece of glacier at the “Raising Hope for Climate Justice” conference near Rome, Pope Leo called on world leaders to act boldly against climate change.

I assume Leo will lead by example. Get rid of his popemobile and his private aircraft. Replace them with a donkey and a sailboat.
Oh, and cut off all electrical power to Vatican City. Go back to the days of candles in the night.
Leo will do all that, right?
