In recent times, I have been writing about climate change and how
Ireland is not living up to its obligations. The situation is very
serious. Scientists are telling us that 2015 was the hottest year on

The issue will lead to the death and displacement of millions of people, but unfortunately our media and politicians have been slow to grapple with it in an effective and competent way. It is only very recently that the leadership of the Catholic Church has begun to take the environmental degradation of the planet seriously.
