Pope Francis has spoken out against climate change deniers, calling them ‘fools’ in his first-ever interview on American television.
He shared his views during a talk with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell at the Vatican, discussing various topics like violence in Ukraine and Gaza.
When asked about climate change deniers, the Pope didn’t hold back. He expressed frustration, saying some people are foolish and ignore research that proves climate change is real. He emphasized that climate change is a serious issue that we can’t ignore.
The Pope’s comments come amid alarming reports about climate change. Last year, records for greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, and other indicators were broken. The UN Secretary-General warned that urgent action is needed to address climate change’s impact.
