How Did Pope Francis's Encyclical On Climate Change

Climate change is very important to many people right now. There are lot’s of discussions between scientists asking, should we be worrying about climate change? Obviously, there are two sides between this topic. There is a natural side, these people don’t think that we should be worrying about this, and that the causes of this climate change are natural. There is also the side of people who think this is all caused by humans. They say that we should be worrying about this climate change. But is it really that important? I have chosen to send this letter to you because you are a part of ohio and are important, but there is one thing. Climate change, it’s not that important right now. Not that we should never worry about, but there are other

It was uploaded by Biola University, and features speaker Dr. Garry DeWeese. He is a sociology professor at Talbot University. His background includes attending seminary in Dallas, TX, being a pastor, and a attendee of the United States Air Force Academy. Right from the beginning of the video, he proclaims he is a Christian. He stated some good examples by talking about nature. I too enjoy the outdoors, and always feel serene when I'm out in nature by myself. So I took that speaking point to heart. He further goes on to discuss climate change. This is such a touchy subject in today's society. There is a huge rift in the world about global warming. What he said is true, people are demonized for their beliefs. That's not right. Everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs. I think if the issue of climate change was not polluted with politics in the first place, the issue would be much better addressed than it is today. As living organisms we have a responsibility to ensure our planet's future for those to

In 2010, Al Gore wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times claiming that global warming is a matter our generation must concentrate on in order to halt the rapid increases of change to our planet’s climate. He creates a strong, convincing argument by addressing and exemplifying issues pertaining to global climate change.

The face of Climate Change is humanity, its self, and this is a fact that has become less easy to refute, you can’t separate humans from the equation. My grandmother the head of Bitterroot Valley recycling has been saying this for years and maybe it’s because of people like my grandmother, that I’ve become interested in the Paris Summit and in particular Pope Francis’s word on how Ecology is Human. Yes, everyone who believes in climate change knows that we humans are part of the problem, but it wasn’t until the July 2015 Paris summit on climate change has anyone ever said that climate change issues were more than just deforestation or polar caps melting. Pope Francis has taken a stand and claims that humans are ecology and therefore the real

Lately scientists and politicians have stated, that the earth is not merely warming up, it is experiencing Climate Change or shifts in long-term climate patterns. These climate shifts could include air temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns (Baranski). Vice President Al Gore, is a leading advocate of climate change. His book and documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, has been rewarded for, “informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change” (“Al Gore”).

In this speech he touches on the topic of climate change in which he supported that we needed to change our way of living to save the world. “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms” he created ways to stop ice from melting in

Caritas begun in Australia in 1964 and is the Latin word meaning love and compassion that grew to become the world’s biggest humanitarian agencies. The Catholic Agency for Aid and Development work together with the poorest of the poor to live a life of dignity, in an organisation that helps these people become self-sufficient so that they do not rely heavily on charitable funds. When referring to the big issues of today’s society Caritas work to break the chain of poverty and injustice in over 30 developing countries. These organisations provide a glimpse of hope to many struggling communities, a sign that things will get better. One issue that Caritas is largely focused around is that of climate change, which is discussed firmly in Pope Francis’ Encyclical.

The author first starts off his argument by claiming that the climate change issue is no longer a problem for the next generation ; instead a trouble that the current generation will face and will have to solve. In order to raise awareness and the seriousness of the issue, Eduardo describes the issue as something that ‘we’ cannot do to prevent it ; an issue that is

Al Gore has spoken about the climate crisis for years. In 2005 he created a non-profit organization called the Alliance for Climate Protection. They issue campaigns and work to promote awareness of the pollution that causes climate change, ongoing dangers, and solutions to help fix and prevent the problem. He has written many books about his research about climate change like “The Assault of Reason”. Al made the Documentary Film “An Inconvenient Truth”. to spread awareness of the man-made climate crisis we have created.

Deck’s theological works are often based on very practical matters, which is very common amongst Hispanic-American theologians and their works. He does not skirt around the facts in his works, instead he bluntly states them and uses them to form this works. He often notes that Latinos/Hispanics are quickly becoming the largest demographic amongst the Catholic Church in the United States; citing changing demographics in states such as Iowa, Alaska and North Carolina to show that the presence of Latinos is no longer a purely regional matter (A Latino practical theology: Mapping the road ahead, 274-275). With these observations in mind, Deck has identified several realities, issues and potential solutions relating to Hispanics throughout the Catholic Church in the United States. As touched on earlier, he has argued that the church leadership needs to add more Hispanic priests to its ranks to better tend to the unique cultural needs of its increasingly Hispanic membership. Fr. Deck also warns that, perhaps as a symptom of the previous issue, the clergy is turning its back on, or even actively shunning, popular religion while becoming overly professional and less close to the members of their respective parishes. Deck has expressed concern that these practices are directly harming and belittling the beliefs of Hispanics, who have always had popular religion popular religion play a central role in their religious lives, that by doing so the church may be alienating a large

The world around us is constantly evolving; decisions are made, technology is produced, and nature takes its toll. Human evolution has influenced the development of the earth we inhabit. Quite literally, the human race has coincided and coexisted with the shaping of the world. The human impact has been both helpful and detrimental to the well being of the earth, and in recent times we have been faced with helping preserve the world’s natural resources. Valuing climate change and global warming has become quite highlighted in the media, as it has become politically debated and blungeoned in light of the recent presidential election of Donald Trump. According to the media, President Donald Trump and many of his selected cabinet members do not

Recently, Pope Francis has modernized the Roman Catholic Church by urging followers to support scientists in preserving our environment. Pope Francis has drawn parallels between “the scientific and Christian communities, who are witnessing the convergence of their distinct approaches to reality in the shared goal of protecting our common home, threatened as it is by ecological collapse and consequent increase of poverty and social exclusion” (Pope Francis). As the contemporary world faces new problems, like climate change, Roman Catholic Christianity has supported the need for science as a means to preserve the Earth and guard humanity.

Even though there is evidence proving that the increasing danger of climate change and global warming is a threat to all life, anti-believers argue that although 2014 was deemed the hottest year on record, the year saw record snow and cold in all four hemispheres. Additionally, oceans are rising much less than predicted. In 2005, Al Gore predicted that oceans would rise 20 feet by 2100. However, 80% of the tide gauges show less rise than the official “global average”. In fact, many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years (Top Ten Reasons). These statistics accurately represent how torn many are on the subject of climate change. Although there are great points to be made on each side, it is always better to be safe than sorry, and the fight against climate change, believe or not, should be in the back of one’s mind at all

“There are many different views on climate change, and how people view it. Climate change is a debated topic by many different researchers and scientists. Some people think we are causing it, some people think modern technology is causing it, and some people think that it isn’t even happening at all. Creationists don’t deny climate change, but what they do deny is, The worldview-based assumptions that determine secular scientists’ interpretations and conclusions about the evidence” (Foley, Avery. “Science Confirms Climate Change!”). As Christians we need to use the earth in ways that benefit humans because we have been given dominion over the earth. “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” (New International

A meeting discussing global warming and the ongoing climate change (and the impact CO2 emissions have on the growing problem) has been in session in Peru for the past few days. Dozens of world leaders are gathering to discuss possible changes that can be implemented to halt the increase in temperature seen around the globe. However, many prominent scientists have stated that it may be too late for these world leaders to make any significant impacts (Associated). These scientists, and many other people around the world, believe that humans have contributed significantly to global warming, and as a result mankind needs to do whatever it can to combat this ongoing crisis. Nearly 3,500 miles away from Peru, United States Senator James Inhofe is in Washington D.C., representing Oklahoma in the United States Senate. Senator Inhofe is one of the loudest preachers of the belief that global warming is not the dire threat that so many scientists make it out to be. Inhofe has claimed that it is “arrogant for people to believe human beings are able to change what He (God) is doing in the climate” (Tashman). The Senator believes that only God controls the climate and the environment, and to even think that humans are impacting the earth’s climate is misguided (Tashman). These two opposing viewpoints bring with them questions of religion, politics, human responsibility, and ultimately the fate of the planet. On one side, there are those who say that the science is so concrete, and the
