Pope Francis Could Achieve Breakthrough By Defining Climate Change As A Moral Issue
"Pope Francis Links"
Pope Francis could achieve a breakthrough by defining climate change as a moral issue. "The Pope's statement carries unique significance for the simple reason that he has unquestioned moral authority for millions of people. He threatens to situate the fight against climate change as a deeply moral issue, a matter of God's work on earth. Once it is so situated, it will slowly and inexorably drag culture and politics along in its wake. The right, which is entirely comfortable deploying moral arguments, understands this better than the mainstream, center-left environmental establishment. Large swaths of the center-left establishment (especially among the foundations that fund things) are besotted with dreams of technocracy and bipartisan civility." Vox
