Climate, Catastrophe, and Faith
One of the world's leading scholars of religious trends shows how climate change has driven dramatic religious upheavals.Long before the current era of man-made climate change, the world has suffered repeated, severe climate-driven shocks. But these shocks were also religious events. These shocks have resulted in famine, disease, violence, social upheaval, and mass migration.
They were described in the language of apocalypse, millennium, and Judgment. Dramatic shifts in climate have often been understood in religious terms by the people who experienced them. Often, too, the eras in which these shocks occurred have been marked by far-reaching changes in the nature of religion and spirituality.
Those changes have varied widely--from growing religious fervor and commitment; to the stirring of mystical and apocalyptic expectations; to waves of religious scapegoating
