The exhortation\u2019s publication coincided with the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron of ecology, whose famous canticle inspired the title of <em>Laudato Si\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though only about one-fifth the length of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/encyclicals\/documents\/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Laudato Si\u2019<\/em><\/a> (which it references extensively), the exhortation\u2019s message is even more urgent. \u201cThe world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point,\u201d Pope Francis wrote. \u201cClimate change is one of the principal challenges facing society and the global community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLaudate Deum\u201d reiterates key messages that have resonated throughout Pope Francis\u2019 papacy \u2014 among them, concern for the marginalized, care for creation, human ecology and a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/12\/embracing-synodality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">synodal<\/a>\u201d approach to resolving global problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the effects of climate change \u201cborne by the most vulnerable people,\u201d the issue is \u201cintimately related to the dignity of human life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressed to \u201call people of good will,\u201d the exhortation declares that \u201cit is no longer possible to doubt the human \u2026 origin of climate change,\u201d citing data from sources such as the United Nations\u2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe overwhelming majority of scientists specializing in the climate\u201d support the correlation between global climate phenomena and spikes in greenhouse gas emissions, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While noting that \u201cnot every concrete catastrophe\u201d is due to global climate change, humans bear responsibility for specific changes that have led to \u201cextreme phenomena\u201d \u2014 such as storms, heat waves and flooding \u2014 that are \u201cincreasingly frequent and intense,\u201d the pope said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pointed to rapid, human-driven increases in greenhouse gas emissions, which trap radiation from the sun in the earth\u2019s atmosphere and warm the planet. The global average temperature \u2014 a metric that tracks changes in the earth\u2019s surface temperature against long-term averages for a given location and date \u2014 has risen over the past 50 years at a rate that could approach the recommended ceiling of 1.5 degrees Celsius in just 10 years, the pope said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That acceleration has a profound impact, causing dangerous shifts in climate and weather with effects ultimately felt \u201cin the areas of healthcare, sources of employment, access to resources, housing (and) forced migrations,\u201d Pope Francis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International climate conferences held over the past several decades have had mixed results, said Pope Francis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/11\/catholic-cop27-delegates-call-for-reparations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COP28<\/a>, set to take place Nov. 30-Dec. 12 in Dubai, will either prove to be a turning point for decisive action or \u201ca great disappointment\u201d that imperils any progress made so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Francis said the planet itself has become a mirror of a deeply flawed view of human life and activity. Such a \u201ctechnocratic paradigm\u201d exalts technological and economic power as sources of reality, goodness and truth, promising unlimited potential if methodically developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, that paradigm has advanced still further, with a goal of \u201c(increasing) human power beyond anything imaginable, before which nonhuman reality is a mere resource at its disposal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poor pay the highest price while inflicting the least damage on the planet, Pope Francis said, citing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/resources\/annual-report-2022?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA3aeqBhBzEiwAxFiOBhvlYmYj3RVCzC9fnDwv4XtOrqTJcbN8fKyVXvrHodpS7elKg4z0VBoCLOwQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations Environment Programme\u2019s 2022 Emissions Gap Report<\/a>, which found that per capita greenhouse gas emissions of richer countries far exceed those of poorer ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question of human power itself must be reexamined, and \u201chuman beings must be recognized as a part of nature,\u201d the pope said, stressing that \u201ceverything is connected\u201d and \u201cno one is saved alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gina Christian is a national reporter for OSV News.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Featured Image: Birds fly at sunset near the mountains of Assisi, Italy, the birthplace of St. Francis, patron of ecology.
