Why we need a National Climate Assessment --
“For thousands of years, we humans have been making decisions based on the past: like driving down the road looking in the rear view mirror. But now, thanks entirely to human actions, we're facing a curve in the road greater than humans have ever seen.”

From his first moments as the global leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis swiftly emerged as the world's moral conscience on climate change and other environmental crises threatening the planet.
Pope Francis leaves legacy as environmental conscience for the world
The pope made ecological concern a cornerstone of his 12-year papacy and positioned care of creation as both a nonnegotiable pillar of the Christian faith and "essential to a life of virtue."
