他把矛头直指美国，指出美国的人均排放量是中国的两倍，是贫困国家平均排放量的七倍。 虽然个人和家庭的努力正在发挥作用，但“我们可以说，与西方模式相关的不负责任的生活方式的广泛改变将产生重大的长期影响，”他说。

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis shamed and challenged world leaders on Wednesday to commit to binding targets to slow climate change before it's too late, warning that God's increasingly warming creation is fast reaching a "point of no return."
