Pope Francis pushes action on climate at U.N.
"We human beings are part of the environment," Francis said. "We live in communion with it, since the environment itself entails ethical limits which human activity must acknowledge and respect. ... Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is harm done to humanity."
On the environment, Francis said “Christians believe with other religions” that man is supposed to take care of nature. “He is not authorized to abuse it and much less is he authorized to destroy it.”
