The concept of hell was deployed to explain climate science in a spiritual context by "Green Deen" in 2010, which characterized the fossil fuels driving climate collapse as "energy from hell." The explicit concept of climate hell began to be used in online English climate media beginning in 2015 with publications from [[Salon]] and [[New Scientist]].
In November 2022, the concept of climate hell was first thrust in the global spotlight following its use in a speech by the UN Secretary General at [[COP-27]].

Definition

Historical

Green Deen

In his 2010 rubric for a Green Deen, Ibrahim Abdul-Mateen defined fossil fuels such as petroleum, gas, and coal as well as nuclear energy as energy from hell because they are all:

1. Extracted from the ground;

2. Nonrenewable;

3. Dirty/polluting;

4. Climate risks.

Energy from Hell:

"Takes away from the Earth without giving back. It disturbs the balance (mizan) of the universe and is therefore a great injustice (zulm). A Green Deen calls for maintaining the Earth’s balance and treating it justly.[1]

At the core of this paradigm lies the recognition that energy from hell is fueling climate collapse.[2]

The United Nations

As reported by several outlets in September of 2014, the UN's "Weather Reports from the Future" series predicted "climate hell" by 2050 without a major course correction.[3][4][5]

In November 2022, the concept of "climate hell" was again thrust in the global spotlight following its prominent use in a speech by the UN Secretary General at COP-27.
