Pope Francis has made a religious case for tackling climate change
speaking out against the destruction of the rainforest and calling
deforestation of the world's lungs a sin.
Pope Francis, who is a known advocate of the poor,
believes that environmental justice and economic justice 
are inextricably linked.

Ida, Bailey (6 yrs), Oliver (4 yrs), and Owen (1½ yr)

Take the opportunity to watch knowledgeable broadcaster Bailey's programme
  Lärkontoret (Learning office in Swedish), the first of many where he talks about
 robots, trees, and  the body.
I'm pretty curious about how dogs are happy which he will be explaining
in the next episode.
Until then some footage of polar bears playing with dogs!

Venice, once known as "The Floating City", can now be called
"The Sinking City" for not only is the town effected by the increase rise of sea levels
- obvious with flooding each high tide - but due to movement of tectonic plates and
the washing away of sediments scientists have found that the city is also
slowly sinking.
