...“Science points to a great risk of climate change on the planet and there is a need to address this issue more swiftly,” Mr. Dias said. “Brazil, as a country that captures carbon dioxide and emits oxygen, has an estimated $30 billion in receivables.”...
Given what we know, it's likely that Pp. Francis will institute ecological reparations as the 7th Law of the Church, and put a statue of Pachamama on top of St Peter's.
