The Vatican goes Green, climate change a "moral imperitive"

OK Tone and gov (they're all pretty much Catholics) now even your church is telling you. Are you gonna listen to that or to Murdoch?

(Vatican Radio) The Holy See has called climate change a “question of justice and a moral imperative” at a meeting of the United Nations on Sustainable Development. 

Speaking on Thursday, the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York, Archbishop Bernardito Auza, told the assembly the fact developing and poor nations remain particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change is unjust, given that the primary factors of climate change, like high consumption and high-quantity greenhouse gas emissions, characterize highly industrialized societies. 

“It is a matter of justice to help poor and vulnerable people suffering the most from causes largely not of their making and beyond their control,” said Archbishop Auza. “One concrete step would be to make available to them the best in adaptation and mitigation technology.” 

He said states have the “grave duty” to make policy decisions and devise monitoring structures to ensure that present and future generations live in a safe and worthy environment. more
