WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.840 Aqui é o Democracy Now, democracynow.org, o relatório de guerra e paz, 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:05.190 Eu sou Amy Goodman, apresentadora. 00:00:05.810 --> 00:00:09.290 Vamos para as notícas do Vaticano, onde o Papa Francisco convocou uma 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.190 ação para salvar o planeta da ruína ambiental 00:00:12.830 --> 00:00:15.060 pedindo aos líderes mundias que escutem 00:00:15.350 --> 00:00:18.710 o "choro" da Terra e o "choro" dos pobres. 00:00:18.710 --> 00:00:19.340 Mais cedo, o Vaticano 00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:22.500 publicou a tão esperada encíclica papal sobre 00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:24.610 meio ambiente e mudanças climáticas. 00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:28.030 O papa pediu uma 00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:29.160 mudança no estilo de vida e países ricos 00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:31.240 00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:36.110 joguem fora a cultura do consumismo 00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:37.910 e parem com atitudes que muitas vezes 00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:40.330 colocam o lucro acima do bem comum. 00:00:42.430 --> 00:00:43.620 Nossa casa vai ruir 00:00:44.270 --> 00:00:46.430 e isso prejudica a todos 00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:49.610 especialmente os mais pobres 00:00:49.610 --> 00:00:50.460 o meu é, portanto, um apelo para a responsabilidade, 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.020 baseado no passado, 00:00:54.470 --> 00:00:55.600 que Deus deu para todas as criaturas 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.320 manterem o jardim 00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:01.310 onde vivem. 00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:03.900 00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:07.260 00:01:07.570 --> 00:01:09.790 00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.590 00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.390 00:01:15.770 --> 00:01:18.960 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:22.880 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:27.060 00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:28.310 00:01:29.510 --> 00:01:32.960 00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:35.290 00:01:35.290 --> 00:01:38.550 00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:42.530 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.570 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:46.810 00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:50.020 00:01:50.020 --> 00:01:52.990 00:05:11.950 --> 00:05:13.650 very strong into journey 00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.060 delays half measures 00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:18.340 so-called market solutions it very 00:05:18.590 --> 00:05:20.180 specifically criticizes 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:22.290 carbon markets a carbon offsetting 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:28.690 everything. 00:05:28.690 --> 00:05:30.300 Probably the most significant parliament 00:05:30.590 --> 00:05:31.200 that the picture 00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:32.850 is the foreign grounding 00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:33.660 of 00:05:34.010 --> 00:05:35.020 the culture 00:05:35.290 --> 00:05:35.830 of frenetic 00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:36.860 consumption 00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:39.880 in the wealthy world among the wealthy, 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:43.350 and this is a really significant because I think large parts 00:05:43.640 --> 00:05:45.520 of the climate change discussion 00:05:45.750 --> 00:05:47.710 trial they have it all ways and say no, 00:05:47.710 --> 00:05:49.770 we just will just have a green growth. 00:05:49.770 --> 00:05:50.770 Well just how 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:52.860 well it will consume green products 00:05:53.230 --> 00:05:53.690 and 00:05:54.340 --> 00:05:57.650 you know this goes a lot deeper than that and says no. 00:05:57.650 --> 00:05:58.820 We need to get at the 00:05:59.090 --> 00:06:00.100 underlying there are used 00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:01.190 there are 00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:04.710 feeling this cultural frenetic conception that is entirely 00:06:04.940 --> 00:06:05.660 unsustainable. 00:06:06.630 --> 00:06:10.360 Now like you mentioned the fact that the pope calls repeatedly in 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.030 the encyclical for radical change, 00:06:13.030 --> 00:06:14.830 I want to ask you about a specific 00:06:15.110 --> 00:06:17.260 citation from the leaked document 00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:20.150 that period earlier this week, 00:06:20.150 --> 00:06:20.870 he said. 00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:21.730 And in a corrupt 00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:22.560 culture 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.310 we can't believe that laws will be enough to change behaviors 00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:29.920 that affect the environment, 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.820 could you talk specifically about that about the laws that he may 00:06:33.820 --> 00:06:35.180 be referring to there. 00:06:36.910 --> 00:06:37.130 Well, 00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:37.610 I think that 00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:39.630 when he referring to corruption 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.520 and I believe he referring to the influence of 00:06:44.090 --> 00:06:47.820 polling companies and multinational corporations which we also put 00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:47.930 out 00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:48.950 the encyclical 00:06:49.410 --> 00:06:52.520 and I think this is one of the most significant thing about the 00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:53.090 darkness. 00:06:53.090 --> 00:06:54.210 One might expect 00:06:54.490 --> 00:06:56.720 of a religious talking about climate change 00:06:57.390 --> 00:06:58.060 you erased 00:06:58.510 --> 00:06:59.410 difference right say 00:06:59.620 --> 00:06:59.920 we're, 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.430 we're all in this together 00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:02.930 and certainly a possibility. 00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:04.310 Earth has our common home 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.630 but it also recognizes 00:07:07.270 --> 00:07:09.330 explicitly the power dynamics 00:07:09.570 --> 00:07:09.820 in 00:07:10.210 --> 00:07:11.120 capitalism, 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.360 which is to say that there are forces witnesses 00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:13.940 and they're 00:07:14.340 --> 00:07:15.340 actively working against 00:07:15.870 --> 00:07:16.390 change 00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:17.180 and 00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:21.780 and that is probably well he's referring to when he's talking 00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:22.160 about 00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:26.390 how there may be lots that the laws are enforced. 00:07:26.390 --> 00:07:29.270 And you know I do you know the laws are also inadequate, 00:07:29.270 --> 00:07:30.240 which is also addressed 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.260 in the in the dark 00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:33.030 and it has a very specific 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:34.960 calls for 00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:37.750 know I'm not aware of all the environmental law. 00:07:37.750 --> 00:07:39.180 I wish to pay the darkness. 00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:40.760 I haven't been able to look at, 00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:41.120 look at 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:43.750 you know closely enough 00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:46.050 and another thing I have to say if you know I am. 00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:46.370 You know I 00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:49.050 have accepted and this invitation to 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:50.620 seek a confidence 00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:51.790 which 00:07:52.020 --> 00:07:52.280 is a 00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:54.280 do you more deeply into the darkness. 00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:54.480 Because 00:07:55.630 --> 00:07:58.830 there is an understanding that it does take time to digest a 00:07:58.890 --> 00:07:59.060 document 00:07:59.280 --> 00:07:59.570 at this 00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:01.050 this multi-layered 00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:02.910 and it 00:08:03.330 --> 00:08:03.910 requires 00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:05.270 that kind of deeper 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.250 and I think that this intervention 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.190 5 months ahead of the UN climate 00:08:10.610 --> 00:08:11.510 conference in Paris 00:08:11.970 --> 00:08:13.720 is tremendously significant, 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.640 it's going to push political leaders 00:08:16.030 --> 00:08:17.220 should go further. 00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:19.160 It's gonna be a tool for social movements, 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.940 a lot of the language of the kind of justice movement has just 00:08:23.090 --> 00:08:27.310 been adopted by the pope and you you know phrases like ecological 00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:28.080 debt. 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:29.700 The pub is talking about the death 00:08:30.270 --> 00:08:32.350 well world owes to the poor. 00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:33.350 This is a frightening 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.680 that comes, 00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:35.320 originally 00:08:36.330 --> 00:08:37.130 from Ecuador 00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:38.150 from the 00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:40.560 against drilling in the Amazon 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.830 and you know that he's he's. 00:08:42.830 --> 00:08:44.010 This is a phrase that was 00:08:44.650 --> 00:08:46.860 you never heard in mainstream circles. 00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:47.360 Until 00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:48.270 now, 00:08:48.270 --> 00:08:49.400 just now actually, 00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:49.610 I mean, 00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:51.170 I've never seen such a mainstream 00:08:51.530 --> 00:08:52.950 use of that term. 00:08:52.950 --> 00:08:54.200 So it is very important 00:08:54.730 --> 00:08:55.400 in that way, 00:08:55.400 --> 00:08:57.370 but I mean I have to say on a personal level, 00:08:57.370 --> 00:08:57.610 that 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.030 as as thrilled as I am 00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:02.050 that the, 00:09:02.050 --> 00:09:04.010 that that that the Vatican is leading in this way, 00:09:04.010 --> 00:09:05.550 you know this pope is leading this way 00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:09.590 and bringing together the fight against poverty with 00:09:10.530 --> 00:09:10.920 the fight 00:09:11.170 --> 00:09:11.840 on climate change. 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:12.600 That doesn't mean 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:14.410 there's a 00:09:14.630 --> 00:09:17.150 complete merger between the crime and justice movement in the 00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:17.680 Vatican, 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:17.860 you know, 00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:20.680 I mean obviously there are huge differences that remain over 00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:21.230 issues 00:09:21.470 --> 00:09:21.650 like 00:09:21.900 --> 00:09:22.600 is quality 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.290 a reproductive rights and freedom 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:26.920 to name just a few. 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:29.430 Nathan Schneider your columnist 00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:32.110 with the Catholic weekly America 00:09:32.830 --> 00:09:36.950 you've been covering Catholic engagement with climate change. 00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:39.100 Talk about the scope of this, 00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:42.350 I mean just for people to understand what this encyclical is the 00:09:42.350 --> 00:09:43.540 number of languages. 00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:45.600 It's been released and how large it is 00:09:45.930 --> 00:09:48.060 and what it means for the Catholic community. 00:09:48.350 --> 00:09:48.480 Well, 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.040 this is really the first 3rd world and cyclical 00:09:51.490 --> 00:09:53.130 you know this is coming from a pope 00:09:53.780 --> 00:09:54.810 who was shaped 00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:58.910 in really significant ways by economic crisis during the Cold War 00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:00.270 in Argentina 00:10:00.890 --> 00:10:01.220 and 00:10:01.910 --> 00:10:04.150 being in the middle of a battleground between 00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:07.590 between the first and second world powers 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.120 it was drafted by 00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:11.530 a cardinal from Ghana, 00:10:11.530 --> 00:10:13.050 so this is coming from 00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:16.080 the side of the world that we don't normally hear from 00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:16.940 and 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:17.580 it's 00:10:17.860 --> 00:10:20.940 very much in line with things that popes have been saying 00:10:21.180 --> 00:10:22.330 for decades. 00:10:22.330 --> 00:10:22.580 You know, 00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.710 going back to Paul. 00:10:23.710 --> 00:10:25.610 The 6th and John Polis second 00:10:25.910 --> 00:10:26.270 Benedict, 00:10:26.270 --> 00:10:27.270 the 16th, 00:10:27.270 --> 00:10:28.150 so a lot of 00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:31.670 the content is actually not so new for Catholics 00:10:31.880 --> 00:10:33.670 but the emphasis and that 00:10:33.930 --> 00:10:34.240 that 00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:35.570 that that 00:10:36.380 --> 00:10:38.300 that the language of climate debt 00:10:38.510 --> 00:10:41.320 the language is the recognition that there is a 00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:44.550 a divide here between the rich countries in the poor 00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:45.840 and this is a cry 00:10:46.090 --> 00:10:46.570 from 00:10:46.780 --> 00:10:48.340 the developing world from 00:10:48.850 --> 00:10:49.600 what has been 00:10:49.930 --> 00:10:51.160 labeled the 3rd world 00:10:51.780 --> 00:10:52.250 for change. 00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:54.440 We're gonna break and when we come back, 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.280 we'll hear 00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:56.800 the words of Cardinal 00:10:57.260 --> 00:11:00.260 Peter Turks and himself of Ghana.
