Pope Francis is calling for a bold cultural revolution to battle climate change. He issued a sweeping manifesto aimed at spurring action in U.N. climate negotiations.

"Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods," he wrote. "It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day."

He said that's turning the earth into an "immense pile of filth."

The pope seeks to explain the science of global warming in his new policy, urging people of all faiths and no faith to save God's creation for future generations.

The pontiff also called for changes to the "structurally perverse economic system" of the rich exploiting the poor.
