Climate Hell
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.
