Where does Pope Leo stand on climate change?
He believes it's time to move "from words to action" (he's right on that!) and has previously highlighted the actions the Vatican is taking to reduce its own emissions through solar panels and electric vehicles.

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.

The comments section shows why everything is failing everywhere. Everyone is concerned about lowering prices and how regretful farmers will be upon this decision, but none of them reflect on the hundreds of humans who will remain hungry without the aid
US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
