Tell Trump to Hear Pope Leo XIV and Change Course on Climate

President Donald Trump used his speech to the UN General Assembly to mock climate change as a “con job.” But Pope Leo XIV—spiritual leader to over a billion people—delivered a powerful rebuke, calling on the world to embrace science and protect our planet. 

The evidence of climate change and the chaos it brings is everywhere. Flooded neighborhoods, burning forests, suffocating heat waves, and collapsing crops show us what the climate crisis means in real time. To dismiss this reality as Trump did in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly is not just ignorant—it is a betrayal of the president's responsibility.

Donald Trump should heed the words of Pope Leo XIV. His message is clear: denying climate science is not only bad policy, it is a moral failure. It mocks the suffering of families displaced by rising seas, farmers losing their livelihoods, and children choking on polluted air. Faith calls all of us to care for creation, and science shows us exactly how urgent that call is.

Every day we delay, the crisis deepens. Oil executives keep cashing record profits while frontline communities—often the poorest and most vulnerable—are left to drown, burn, and starve. This is not just a policy failure; it is a global injustice. We refuse to let the voices of science and morality be drowned out by greed and denial.

The climate movement is powerful, growing, and unstoppable. From the streets to the ballot box, from faith communities to youth marches, we are rising together to demand a livable planet. Please sign the petition to demand that Donald Trump follow Pope Leo XIV’s guidance to abandon mockery and stand with humanity. The world is watching, and history will not forgive leaders who laughed while the Earth burned.
