A geologist’s speed reading guide to the pope’s climate encyclical.

Pope Francis’ encyclical “Laudato Si, On Care of Our Common Home” of May 24, 2015, is 184 pages long. The Pope, trained as a chemist, turned the eye of both a scientist and a religious man toward climate change. Bob Raynolds, Research Associate of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, went through it all and provides a 1,240 word synopsis.
Pope Francis calls on all of us to devote more care to our home ecosystem. Time and again, he calls for us to recognize the interdependency of nature and human society. Because they are linked, damage inflicted on nature corrodes our social fabric. http://www.theglobalist.com/pope-francis-environment-climate-change/
