Pope Francis has spoken out on a number of issues confronting us. Now, he's telling us what he intends to speak on in 2015 - climate change. He will issue an encyclical on the subject, attend the UN Assembly in September to lobby for new anti-poverty and environmental goals and also address the body, he will call a summit of the world’s main religions. And he will try to influence a UN climate meeting in Paris, when countries will try to conclude 20 years of fraught negotiations with a universal commitment to reduce emissions.
He certainly is a different pope.
