The draft has already set the Internet ablaze as newspapers say the document pushes for action to cut carbon dioxide emissions. The Italian magazine L'Espresso leaked a draft copy of Francis' encyclical "Be praised." The Vatican has already come out saying this document was only an "intermediate" draft and the final text will be released Thursday. For months, environmentalists and skeptics have waited for Francis to weigh in on global warming. If the leaked draft is any indication of what the pope will say in the final encyclical, it looks like the pope will be surging for action ahead of the United Nations climate summit in Paris set for later this year.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_francis_pope.jpg
