Lotter says, "Pope Francis reminds us that climate justice is at its core a social justice issue." Does that mean that 97 percent of scientists who support the computer model theory of science are wrong? It is not a scientific certainty, not settled science? Does it mean that global warming is a religion, that changed it name? Does Lotter suggest there was no climate change before humans appeared on the earth? Before there were fossil fuels? Was the earth's climate unchanging then?
In a global economy driven by profits and exploitation, Pope Francis urges each and every one of us to reinvest in our future, our shared wellbeing, and our ethical integrity by turning away from fossil fuels.
Pope Francis reminds us that climate justice is at its core a social justice issue.

The Pope’s take-home message is that we have a moral obligation to address the main cause of climate change, which is the burning of fossil fuel.
