<b>Q&A: The Pope’s New Document on Climate Change Is a
‘Throwdown’ Call for Action</b><br>
A professor who has studied Francis’ writings on climate says he
singles out the U.S. for overconsumption and takes “aim” at the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops’ denialism.<br>
Interview by Paloma Beltran, “Living on Earth”<br>
October 21, 2023<br>
From our collaborating partner “Living on Earth,” public radio’s
environmental news magazine, an interview by Producer Paloma Beltran
with Christiana Zenner, an associate professor in the Department of
Theology at Fordham University in New York. <br>
<br>
PALOMA BELTRAN: In June 2015, Pope Francis published a
groundbreaking document that made a theological case for climate
action called Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. That fall,
in a rare moment of unity, nations established the landmark Paris
Climate Agreement. <br>
<br>
Now, eight years later, the Pope is back with an even bolder update.
In “Laudate Deum,” or “Praise God,” Pope Francis says the world is
“nearing the breaking point,” condemns climate denial, and calls for
urgent climate action. The Roman Catholic church he leads is the
largest Christian denomination and has over a billion followers
around the world. <br>
<br>
Christiana Zenner is an Associate Professor in the Department of
Theology for Fordham University who is currently working on a book
about the Pope’s writings on the climate.<br>
<blockquote>CHRISTIANA ZENNER: This document is a total zinger
compared to Laudato Si’. So whereas Laudato Si’ in 2015, was
extensive, it was quite long, it was measured and pastoral and
expressive and philosophical, this document, Laudate Deum, is much
shorter. And it is super focused on the realities of climate
crises, the realism of climate change, anthropogenic climate
change in particular, as a moral, ecological social problem, and
on the responsibility of all people to take up action in order to
address these problems. <br>
<br>
So there’s a lot of really specific citation of science, there is
a lot of very specific invocations about the kinds of things that
need to happen. And then there is a little bit of philosophical
and theological framing. But it’s a really punchy document. <br>
<br>
And at some points, it’s actually even a little bit snarky. He
calls out the U.S. explicitly in the penultimate paragraph of the
exhortation. He says the rates of consumption are so far above
China, and even more profoundly above peoples and nations that are
far less developed. And so he’s really taking language that is
similar to the Kyoto Protocol and other kinds of agreements that
see consumption by particular nations as historically problematic
and in an ongoing way. <br>
<br>
It’s also, I think, taking a pretty specific aim at the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops and climate denialists. As you may
know, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has been pretty
focused on pelvic issues, on abortion and contraception, etc, as
its primary moral focus. And I think that it’s no accident that
the Pope uses a U.S. bishop’s document from 2019 on climate change
as the first citation, and then ends the document with this
throwdown about U.S. consumption. I think that’s a pretty
substantial frame.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: It seems like Pope Francis is not beating around the bush
when it comes to climate change.<br>
<br>
ZENNER: Oh, he is not. This is a throwdown document. It’s really a
zinger. So he’s also then, especially in the first part of the
apostolic exhortation, talking about climate denialism. And just
taking it down, point by point. He just says, no, this doesn’t
hold, this is not tenable. This is not a Catholic point of view,
it’s not even a reasonable point of view. And let me show you why.
<br>
<br>
And so in a very effective way, he just critiques those arguments.
So, for example, he says that in recent years, some have chosen to
deride these facts, he’s speaking of climate change. Then he says,
they’ll bring up the allegedly solid scientific data, like the
fact that the planet has always had and will have periods of
cooling and warming. <br>
<br>
But then he goes on to say, they forget to mention another
relevant datum, that what we are presently experiencing is an
unusual acceleration of warming at such a speed that it will take
only one generation in order to verify it. And he does this a
number of times, this language that is basically some claim, or
some deride these facts, and they’ll present this kind of claim,
but they forget to include this other additional claim. And so in
a way that is rhetorically powerful and philosophically grounded,
he’s calling those folks to task and saying your philosophy is bad
and your science is too. Get with it.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: So what does this document say about the connection
between the Catholic Church and the scientific world?<br>
<br>
ZENNER: One of the things that’s really interesting, and in many
respects great about the Catholic Church, is that in the late 20th
century especially, it has had a pretty robust engagement with
contemporary sciences of the time. And this document continues
that trend. <br>
<br>
So if you look at the citations, like scholars love to do, if you
follow the footnotes, there are tons of citations to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, these kinds of
consensus documents that indicate the patterns, extent and
implications of anthropogenic climate change. And so not only are
those in the footnotes supporting a range of claims, there’s also
explicit numbers throughout the document. <br>
<br>
So I would say there’s a huge relationship between the Catholic
Church and science in this document. Because a lot of people
think, oh, the Catholic Church. Science. Well, Galileo, that
didn’t go well. But when we delve into it, you know, absolutely,
yes, lots of problems going on in that era for sure. But there are
also always really interesting moments that religious
institutions, in this case, the Catholic Church, can assess
developments in science and either hunker down and refuse to
engage the questions raised, or say, wow, this looks like a big
issue. What does this mean for theology, for morality, and for the
project of being human? And that’s what the Pope has chosen to do.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: Christiana, what surprised you the most about Laudate
Deum?<br>
<br>
ZENNER: What surprised me the most? Well, I think there are a few
things. One is how pithy and direct it is. The Pope knows what
he’s doing in this. And the structure of the apostolic
exhortation, as well as the tone is remarkably direct, very
readable, and, in many ways, at least from an interdisciplinary
ethics perspective, irrefutable on the dynamics of climate change,
and the science behind it, economic growth presumptions and the
dynamics of consumerism, and what Pope Francis calls in a slightly
more philosophical and theological way, the technocratic paradigm,
which is a fetishization of economic efficiency and technological
innovation. <br>
<br>
The presumption that those alone will solve ecological or social
problems. So I was, really, frankly, stunned and really happy to
see someone who is in a position of authority, yes, in a
hierarchical patriarchal context that has massive problems. But as
we saw in the reception of the 2015 Laudato Si’ document, he’s in
a position to get people’s attention. <br>
<br>
There’s one citation in there, citation 41, of feminist
philosopher of science, Donna Haraway. She’s an American, a long
standing professor at the University of California Santa Cruz,
someone who’s been very critical of normative gender hierarchies
as they play out in the practice and conceptualization of science,
and a real advocate for multi-species relations. So she shows up
in footnote 41, which is shocking, because she’s on record as
being anti-Catholic, anti-institutionally-Catholic, and
anti-theistic in that sense. So, how on earth did this citation
get into the apostolic exhortation? And what does it mean? I am
fascinated and a number of us are trying to dig into this.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: So Pope Francis cited Donna Haraway, what did he say
there?<br>
<br>
ZENNER: So she is cited in a section on anthropocentrism. The idea
that humans are at the center functionally, as well as morally, of
the earth and of theological significance. And so Pope Francis
says, the technocratic paradigm, which he had earlier critiqued,
can deceive us by making us forget that the entire world is a
contact zone. <br>
<br>
And he cites this book by Donna Haraway, called When Species Meet.
And then the section goes on to talk about well, we can’t have a
full anthropocentrism where humans are the only or exclusive
focus, we need a situated anthropocentrism that recognizes the
interrelations and the limits to human centrality and power. <br>
<br>
It is completely fascinating that the Pope chooses to cite her or
the Pope’s ghost writers, don’t know which one. But it’s kind of
a two-part thing. There’s that whole reaction of, oh my gosh, what
on earth? And then the second part is, isn’t it interesting, that
of all the women to cite, all of the experts who happen to be
women, the one he cites is Donna Haraway. And not the many, many,
many women within the Catholic Church.<br>
<br>
Celia Deane-Drummond, Brazilian ecofeminist liberation theologian
Ivone Gebara, there are so many brilliant scholars who are women
who have been working with eco-theologies and orders of nuns who
have been implementing ideas like this that far preceded even
Laudato Si’ in 2015. <br>
<br>
So the citation of Haraway is doubly bizarre. Because why not cite
women who are also engaging in the work of the church? And one
skeptical answer is, well, there’s a long history of excluding
them. And maybe it would mean that their critiques would have to
be taken seriously. I don’t know. But it’s one viable hypothesis.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: In Laudate Deum, Pope Francis specifically discusses
COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference beginning in
late November in Dubai. What do you make of these mentions?<br>
<br>
ZENNER: I think it’s really interesting and exciting that Pope
Francis is focusing this document on COP28. So clearly, this
document is meant to have a practical political lifestyle impact.
And what I think is so distinctive about his approach in Laudate
Deum, this 2023 document, is that he has a whole section on COP28.
<br>
<br>
And he says that if we are confident in the capacity of human
beings to transcend their petty interests, and to think in bigger
terms, we can keep hoping that COP28 will allow for a decisive
acceleration of energy transition with effective commitments
subject to ongoing monitoring. And he goes on—there needs to be
binding forms of energy transitions that meet three conditions:
efficient, obligatory and readily monitored. <br>
<br>
And then he later says, and everyone needs to commit to them, it
can’t just be a kind of exceptional thing. So I think this is
pretty remarkable, because he’s basically saying, here’s what you
guys need to do: get it together. And in Section 58, he has a
defense of climate activists. <br>
<br>
This is really important, because around the world, we’re seeing
the silencing and the jailing of climate activists in a range of
contexts. And so into that space, Pope Francis says in paragraph
58, in conferences on the climate, the actions of groups
negatively portrayed as radicalized, radicalized is in quotes,
tend to attract attention. But he continues, in reality, they are
filling a space left empty by society as a whole, which ought to
exercise a healthy pressure. <br>
<br>
So this idea that there’s a need for what he calls a
multilateralism from below, that the voices of activists, the
voices of people affected by these things, that this matters, I
think, is really, really significant.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: And after the Pope has written and published this, what
happens next? What are Catholics expected to do with this?<br>
<br>
ZENNER: On the one hand, it’s in the written record, the Vatican
archives, as a pretty authoritative document, that anyone in the
world or anyone of goodwill, who is the intended audience of this
document according to Pope Francis, that anyone in the world can
access. <br>
<br>
I think it will be a resource for nonprofit organizations and
branches of the church and parish communities who really want to
take up the call to reflect theologically and in terms of ethical
action, and maybe even in terms of activism. I don’t know how
priests and other formal representatives of the church, especially
in the United States, will engage it. I think that’s one of the
questions that remains to be seen. But as I’ve said, it’s a pretty
fascinating, concise, pithy zinger of a document that is doing
something exciting, so I’m interested to see what happens with it.<br>
<br>
BELTRAN: Christiana Zenner is an associate professor of theology,
science and ethics at Fordham University. Christiana, thanks so
much for taking the time with us today. <br>
<br>
ZENNER: Thank you for having me.<br>

<b>Mental health professionals see demand for conversations about
climate change</b><br>
By Michelle Alfini, <br>
October 20, 2023<br>
LEICESTER, N.C. — Climate change can be a touchy subject. The topic
can spark debates between those who believe and those who don’t. It
can evoke feelings of stress or guilt, or at the very least, Lisa
Perry said many of the folks she talks to, believe bringing up
climate change will kill the mood.<br>
<br>
“Even if you talk to a lot of people, just down the street, or
family or friends or whatever and they say, ‘Oh yeah, we’re screwed.
We’re doomed,’ and then they change the subject,” she said. “In
counseling people are less likely to change the subject.”<br>
<br>
That’s why the Leicester therapist believes her clients have been
bring up the topic more and more often in her sessions, especially
after 2020.<br>
<br>
Especially after major global disasters like wildfires or
hurricanes, Perry said she’s noticed some of her clients are eager
to share their thoughts and anxieties with someone and often that
defaults to her.<br>
<br>
“It’s just so there and it’s terrifying so people can kind of dance
around it because it’s hard to even touch,” she said.<br>
<br>
Currently though, while the American Psychological Association
recognizes climate change can have a psychological impact, there are
few if any standard guidelines for how therapists should navigate
these topics.<br>
<br>
The Climate Psychology Alliance, a nonprofit made up of mental
health professionals is working to change that, by creating a
network of what they call “Climate Aware Therapists.” Their mission
is simple, provide resources to help psychologists validate and
explore climate concerns with their clients, and help them develop
healthy outlets to manage those concerns.<br>
<br>
Sarah Rawleigh discovered the group when she started looking for
someone to talk to about her own climate-related anxieties.<br>
<br>
“I myself was struggling with emotions anxiety, hopelessness,
anger,” she said.<br>
<br>
As a clinical social worker herself, Rawleigh recognized those were
feelings psychologists are trained to manage around other subjects,
so she figured there had to be a way to explore them around climate
change. Through the alliance, she said she joined a group of other
psychologists interested in exploring the topic and she said it’s
not only helped her manage her concerns, but helped prepare her to
navigate those conversations with her clients.<br>
<br>
“Especially in groups, people start to realize, oh I’m not alone,”
she said.<br>
<br>
Rawleigh believes that perceived isolation one of the major factors
driving the anxiety in her clients, but data shows climate concerns
are growing more and more common.<br>
<br>
According to a study from the Yale Program on Climate Change
Communications, nearly three in four Americans believe in global
warming and 64 percent are very or somewhat worried about the
phenomenon. Yet at the same time, the study shows 59 percent of
Americans underestimate how common those concerns are.<br>
<br>
For Perry, being a climate aware therapist means creating a space
where her clients can feel comfortable bringing up those concerns
without feeling judged or like it’s going to spark a debate.<br>
<br>
“I’m just trying to be welcoming and it just seems to blossom,” she
said. “Sometimes it’s what’s going to happen to my home or am I
going to be able to feed myself. Do I want to have children? That
constantly comes up. If somebody does have children, how can I
protect my children?”<br>
<br>
As with other issues outside of their clients’ control, Perry said
there’s no easy answer to those questions and concerns, but so far,
she said just being a sounding board can help.<br>
<br>
“We’re all new at this,” she said. “We’re all pioneers.”<br>
<br>
Both Perry and Rawleigh have joined the Climate Aware Therapist
directory, but they say so far, no one has sought them out solely
for to talk about climate concerns. Instead, they say those
anxieties come up organically in session and they navigate them
accordingly.<br>
<br>
Rawleigh is also hoping to start a series of “Climate Cafés” to give
those concerned another place to talk about climate change and come
up with ways to take action.<br>
<br>
“We’re not trying to pressure people,” she said. “It’s just more
helping them work it out themselves or inviting them to join
groups.”<br>

Global ocean surface temperatures are so high that climate

global average surface temperatures obliterated the previous record
high, causing those same scientists to declare the result 'shocking'
and 'out of control'. The consequences for the world's largest ice

<b>Abstract</b><br>
The abyssal ocean circulation is a key component of the global
meridional overturning circulation, cycling heat, carbon, oxygen
and nutrients throughout the world ocean1,2. The strongest
historical trend observed in the abyssal ocean is warming at high
southern latitudes2,3,4, yet it is unclear what processes have
driven this warming, and whether this warming is linked to a
slowdown in the ocean’s overturning circulation. Furthermore,
attributing change to specific drivers is difficult owing to
limited measurements, and because coupled climate models exhibit
biases in the region5,6,7. In addition, future change remains
uncertain, with the latest coordinated climate model projections
not accounting for dynamic ice-sheet melt. Here we use a transient
forced high-resolution coupled ocean–sea-ice model to show that
under a high-emissions scenario, abyssal warming is set to
accelerate over the next 30 years. We find that meltwater input
around Antarctica drives a contraction of Antarctic Bottom Water
(AABW), opening a pathway that allows warm Circumpolar Deep Water
greater access to the continental shelf. The reduction in AABW
formation results in warming and ageing of the abyssal ocean,
consistent with recent measurements. In contrast, projected wind
and thermal forcing has little impact on the properties, age and
volume of AABW. These results highlight the critical importance of
Antarctic meltwater in setting the abyssal ocean overturning, with
implications for global ocean biogeochemistry and climate that
could last for centuries.<br>

<br>
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at
how the birth of industrial capitalism led to the birth of fossil
fuel use at an industrial scale. Specifically, I look at how
capitalist forces led factory owners to embrace fossil fuels over
water power, despite water being cheaper and more prevalent.
Ultimately, capitalism needs power that is both flexible in time
and consistent in space and fossil fuels were able to cater to
that.<br>

<b>Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global
Warming</b><br>
by Andreas Malm<br>
The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate
change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this
mess?<br>
<br>
In this masterful new history, Andreas Malm claims it all began in
Britain with the rise of steam power. But why did manufacturers turn
from traditional sources of power, notably water mills, to an engine
fired by coal? Contrary to established views, steam offered neither
cheaper nor more abundant energy—but rather superior control of
subordinate labour. Animated by fossil fuels, capital could
concentrate production at the most profitable sites and during the
most convenient hours, as it continues to do today. Sweeping from
nineteenth-century Manchester to the emissions explosion in China,
from the original triumph of coal to the stalled shift to
renewables, this study hones in on the burning heart of capital and
demonstrates, in unprecedented depth, that turning down the heat
will mean a radical overthrow of the current economic order.<br>
<br>
Reviews<br>
<blockquote> "Malm forcefully unmasks the assumption that economic
growth has inevitably brought us to the brink of a hothouse Earth.
Rather, as he shows in a subtle and surprising reinterpretation of
the Industrial Revolution, it has been the logic of capital
(especially the need to valorize immense sunk investments in
fossil fuels), not technology or even industrialism per se, that
has driven global warming. "<i> Mike Davis, author of Planet of
Slums and Ecology of Fear</i><br>
<br>
"Fossil Capital is a theoretical masterpiece and a
political-economic-ecological manifesto. It looks unblinkingly at
the catastrophe that could await human society if we fail to act
on the words System Change or Climate Change. It is a book that I
will return to again and again—and take notes." <i> John Bellamy
Foster, University of Oregon, author of Marx’s Ecology</i><br>
<br>
"The definitive deep history on how our economic system created
the climate crisis. Superb, essential reading from one of the most
original thinkers on the subject."<br>
<i>Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock
Doctrine</i><br>
<br>
"A unique reconceptualization of the relationship between nature,
capitalism, and Marxism.<i>" Jacobin</i><br>
<br>
"The best book written about the origins of global warming ...
Like Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything, Fossil Capital
trenchantly demonstrated that capitalism and capitalists are
responsible for climate change." <i>Michael Robbins, Bookforum</i><br>
<br>
"If we are to rescue ourselves from the looming catastrophe that
is climate change, one of our tasks must be to understand how we
became enmeshed in an economy powered by fossil fuels. It would be
hard to find a more illuminating book for this purpose than Fossil
Capital , a history of the rise of coal-fired steam power in
Britain. In the tradition of historians such as Robert Brenner and
Ellen Meiksins Wood, Andreas Malm gives central importance to the
capitalist social relations in which steam power is deployed as a
form of power over people, challenging technological determinist
accounts of the rise of the fossil economy (that steam power was
inherently more efficient), as well as the “ Anthropocene
narrative” that sees the fossil economy as the inevitable outcome
of human use of fire, and the Ricardian-Malthusian narrative that
coal power was adopted because it was more abundant and cheaper
than water." <i> Michael W. Howard, Socialism and Democracy</i><br>
