Our Green Pope

Pope Francis made a very strong impression on American people during his last visit, and while each sides of the public opinion spectrum tried to spin what he said to their advantage, he was pretty clear that he expressed pretty clearly that man had trashed the planet and that it was time to do something about it.

What the Pope didn't suggest, though, was that climate change was just the symptom and not the reason for Earth's endangerment. The reason, as still too few people yet understand is that humans are far too many on the planet and that something needs to be done about it.

Of course, we need to give Francis some slack; he is running a very conservative organization and he will need a few more years before publicly acknowledging that we have a major problem with overpopulation!
