Pope repeats climate change calls

(ANSA) - Vatican City, January 31 - Pope Francis on Saturday reiterated his call for the world to take action to avert the threat of climate change in an audience with Italian farmers' association Coldiretti. The pope told the farmers to "continue to produce good food for lives of everyone... even when climate stability is in danger, when the air, water and the soil lose their purity because of pollution". In a hard-hitting address, the Argentine pontiff added: "Let's not be like those people without feelings who end up selling their mothers, let's not give in to the temptation to sell our Mother Nature".
