The pontiff spoke with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell at the Vatican this week to give his thoughts on violence in Ukraine and Gaza and other important subjects. However, he made a pointed effort to express his displeasure with those who deny climate change when asked what he says to those who deny it. 'There are people who are foolish, and even foolish if they show you them research. they don't believe it,' he said through an interpreter
Behind a chain-link fence in a corner of San Joaquin County sits one of California's — and perhaps the world's — best hopes for combating climate change. Here at the nation's first commercial direct air capture facility, towering trays of limestone mineral powder are working round-the-clock to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Robots skitter and whir around the 40-foot-tall columns, which are part of a multi-step process that will ultimately convert the CO2 to concrete, rendering the...
Scorching hot days and frigid cold spells may be contributing to an increasing number of deaths and disabilities from stroke, according to a new study.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that removing carbon from the atmosphere is now essential to fighting climate change and limiting global temperature rise.

Case in point: the media love Francis on climate change, and often hail him as a “progressive”. Watch as O’Donnell does both of these things: NORAH O’DONNELL: Francis is...
