Pope Francis Takes Time To School Oil Executives On The Subject Of Climate Change

POPE PAUL FRANCIS

Pope Paul Francis, who has long pressed for strong climate action and wrote his 2015 encyclical on the environment, has been trying to change the hearts and minds of those resistant to this message including his holding a forum at the Vatican where he took the time to talk to oil executives in June 2018.

He has said “We need an exchange that unites us all, because the environmental challenge we are experiencing, and its human roots, regards us all, and affects us all.”
