Pope Francis on Thursday called on world leaders to heed the Earth's 'chorus of cries of anguish' stemming from climate change, extreme weather and loss of biodiversity.

Francis said rich countries have an "ecological debt" because it is they who had caused the most environmental pollution over the past two centuries, marring nature's song."Tragically, that sweet song is accompanied by a cry of anguish. Or even better: a chorus of cries of anguish. In the first place, it is our sister, mother earth, who cries out. Prey to our consumerist excesses, she weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and to her destruction," he wrote.
"Likewise, our brothers and sisters of the native peoples are crying out. As a result of predatory economic interests, their ancestral lands are being invaded and devastated on all sides, provoking a cry that rises up to heaven."
