Pope Francis has declared that climate change has pushed the world to its limits, stating his concerns for the planet and humanity’s failure to address the crisis. He believes that the impact of climate change will continue to affect many aspects of people’s lives, including healthcare, employment, resources, housing, and forced migrations. The Pope, along with the Bishops of the United States, views climate change as a major challenge that is particularly harmful to vulnerable populations. San Diego Bishop Robert W. McElroy has emphasized the significance of addressing climate change, stating that it poses a greater threat to humanity’s future than even abortion. Pope Francis has criticized the United States for its contribution to the climate crisis, highlighting the country’s high emissions per capita compared to other nations. However, some have argued that China’s emissions actually surpass those of the United States. The Vatican will host a climate summit in May, with the Pope stressing that climate change is a pressing issue that affects everyone and represents a form of structural sin.
