Give Up Calling People Names
“Once and for all, let us put an end to the irresponsible derision that would present this issue [the climate crisis] as something purely ecological, “green,” romantic, frequently subject to
ridicule by economic interests. Let us finally admit that it is a human and social problem on any number of levels. For this reason, it calls for involvement on the part of all. In Conferences on the climate, the actions of groups negatively portrayed as “radicalized” tend to attract attention. But in reality, they are filling a space left empty by society as a whole, which ought to exercise a healthy “pressure”, since every family ought to realize that the future of their children is at stake.” Pope Francis (LD58)
