No human is illegal.
Ephesians 2:12

So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors: you are citizens like all the saints, and part of God’s household.

Was listening to @laurielaybourn.bsky.social's @overshootpod.bsky.social final ep while editing this - in some ways the ClimatePilgrim.com series is stumbling around looking for the "ethical and psychological" cope with the post-1.5°C world we've entered, to which Laurie devotes the last section.

I see Carney's reversal as a sign moral cowardice. A refusal to act on his past convictions and fight for the good. I'm not a practitioner of his religion, but I can't help but feel that Pope Francis saw clearly to heart of matters in his 2023 LAUDATE DEUM www.vatican.va/content/fran...

It's a little specific vs my usual Wicked Problems beat but I think the climate crisis in 2025 can't be understood if you limit it to a tech/econ problem without exploring the ethical/spiritual context. That's what I'm attempting with climatepilgrim.com. Some of it isn't too bad!

The Pope “warned against those who ‘deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change to ridicule those who speak of global warming, and even to blame the poor for the very thing that affects them the most,’ and urged citizens to pressure governments for ‘rigorous regulations and controls.’”
