COP26 is being held in Glasgow in November and could accelerate measures by the world's biggest polluters to tackle climate change, a challenge which activists, scientists and world leaders say could ultimately endanger the planet.
"I think that his voice will be a very important voice leading up to and through the Glasgow conference, which I believe he intends to attend," Kerry told the official Vatican News outlet after meeting the pope."Because he is above politics and outside of the hurly-burly of day-to-day, national conflict, I think he can sort of shake people a little bit and bring them to the table with a better sense of our common obligation," Kerry added.
Kerry is mid-way through a week-long trip to Europe, meeting government officials and business leaders in Italy, Britain and Germany, as well as the Vatican City, ahead of the summit. Francis has made many calls for environmental protection since becoming pope in 2013, and has repeatedly urged governments to take drastic measures to combat global warming and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Pope should exercise bigger moral authority in Jesus land having recently celebrated Prophet Abraham in Iraq? The Prophet behind all that hell in Jesus land? Quite possible faith could destroy the planet before climate hell? Kerry's climate hell?

Curious if the pope is an expert on climate change because he is a pope, or because he is a Marxist, or because he is a former bar employee ala AOC?
I don't think a leader of people who believe in the supernatural is going to contribute anything tangible.
