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.
