Pope Francis endorsed U.S. EPA's Clean Power Plan today in a White House Rose Garden appearance with President Obama. "Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution," the leader of the Roman Catholic Church said. The pope then urged "all men and women of good will in this great nation" to consider the impact of global warming for future generations of Americans and "millions of people living under a system that has overlooked them." "It seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to our future generation," Francis said. "When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the change needed to bring about a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change."
