Pope says earth has been plundered

Over the last year or so, Pope Benedict has been getting more comfortable with inserting green messages into his sermons as he speaks to the world's faithful. Nowadays, it looks like he's ready to take dead aim at the environmental issues of our day. In a speech yesterday, addressing 150,000 young pilgrims in Sydney, he acknowledged that the world's natural resources are being squandered away.Is the Pope going green? I'd say so. In the last few months he's made headlines for installing solar panels at the Vatican, asking tourists to green their vacation plans, and reminding people that pollution is a sin. Does the Pope have enough sway with the over 1 billion Catholics in the world to put together an attack on climate change? That'd be awesome. From his speech in Sydney:
"Reluctantly we come to acknowledge that there are also scars which mark the surface of our earth, erosion, deforestation, the squandering of the world's mineral and ocean resources in order to fuel an insatiable consumption."
