Pope Francis weighs in on UN climate conference

Pope Francis has weighed in on the United Nations Climate Conference, sending a message to participants at the Madrid event. In an opening address to the conference on Wednesday, the Pope said world leaders were not doing enough to address climate concerns. The religious figure warned words were far from concrete actions, and asked the participants if there was a political will to allocate resources to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. The Pope confirmed the need for a "clear, far-sighted and strong political will". Image: AP
