Recent extreme weather events, such as the hurricane that devastated parts of Florida, show that the time for climate change denial and scepticism is over, a senior Vatican official said on Tuesday.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Canadian who heads the Vatican's development office, made his comments at a news conference presenting "The Letter," a new film on the climate crisis by two-time Emmy award winner Nicolas Brown.
"Apocalyptic floods, mega droughts, disastrous heatwaves, and catastrophic cyclones and hurricanes have become the new normal in recent years; they continue today; tomorrow, they will get worse," he said. Francis, 85, strongly supports the goals of the 2015 U.N. Paris accord to reduce global warming and the use of fossil fuels. Former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the accord but his successor, Joe Biden, has rejoined it.
"The IPPC's assessment clearly points out that climate impacts and risk are becoming increasingly complex and more difficult to manage, and that accelerated and equitable climate action in mitigating and adopting to climate change is critical to sustainable development," said Lee, a South Korean economist.
