Pope Leo XIV has hit out at those who minimise the "increasingly evident" impact of rising temperatures in his first major statement on climate change.
Reiterating the words of his predecessor Pope Francis, the new pontiff lambasted critics who "ridicule those who speak of global warming".

Pope Leo also called for greater action from citizens the world over on climate change, saying there was no room for indifference or resignation.

Another Pope disappointment. (Sigh) I really had high hopes. 😞

Every time I think of returning to the church, one of these recent popes opens his pie hole and changes my mind.
