Integral Ecology
- Considering two 'Integral Ecology' threads:
- "Integral Ecology" developed in the 1990's as a cosmology of physics, a 'Kosmos' and paradigm of whole system conceptual thought;
- and "Integral Ecology" being articulated in the second decade of the 21st century through the Catholic Church.
- The eco-encyclical -- Laudato Si: "On Care for Our Common Home" -- put forward in 2015 by Francis, the Catholic Pope, is the most thorough eco-doctrine of the Church and deserves special attention as 1.2 billion members of the two thousand year old religion carry exceptional reach and impact in global affairss.

Two groups expressing doubt about the wide scientific consensus regarding global climate change have strongly criticized an upcoming Vatican summit on the issue, hosting a press conference in Rome where they also forcefully warned Pope Francis against speaking on the subject.
Claiming that globally used models of the effects of carbon emissions on the environment are invalid, speakers at the event said the pope would be making a "great mistake" if he expressed support for Tuesday's Vatican event or tackled climate change in his upcoming encyclical of the environment.
