Obama officials channel Pope: EPA climate regulations part of a ‘moral obligation’
Environmental Protection Agency head Gina McCarthy and Ambassador to the Vatican Ken Hackett wrote Monday that the EPA’s carbon rule fits with Pope Francis’s moral call to action on climate change released last month. “He makes clear our moral obligation to prevent climate impacts that threaten God's creation, especially for those most vulnerable,” McCarthy and Hackett wrote in the post on the EPA’s blog and The Huffington Post.
