Overview

The relationship between ancient prophecies and today's ecological collapse is an appealing narrative device but dangerously misleading. While it is undeniable that many civilizations anticipated apocalyptic scenarios, attributing global warming to a prewritten destiny undermines its true nature: a scientific phenomenon that is explainable, measurable, and largely preventable. Merging religious myths with scientific data may be a fascinating literary experiment, but it is scientifically untenable. Climate change results from an economic model founded on the unbridled exploitation of resources, driven by an industrial and technological revolution without effective environmental regulation. It is neither a divine curse nor the fulfillment of millennia-old prophecies; rather, it is the predictable consequence of rising greenhouse gas emissions, massive deforestation, and ocean acidification. While science offers empirical evidence and climate models to understand and mitigate the problem, prophecies belong to the realm of speculation. Comparing wildfires to the ""fire of the Last Judgment"" is a seductive metaphor but a false one. Although climate change has exacerbated these fires, their occurrence follows natural cycles and-most importantly-direct human actions: poor forest management, agricultural expansion, and uncontrolled urbanization. There is no mystical force at work, only the negligence and inaction of governments and corporations. Biblical passages and Nostradamus's predictions, far from being clairvoyant warnings, reflect recurring fears in the human psyche. History abounds with natural disasters, famines, and wars, and people have always sought patterns in chaos. But climate science does not rely on vague intuitions or subjective interpretations. It is grounded in precisely measured data: atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, polar ice-melt rates, ocean acidification levels, and mathematical projections supported by decades of observation and computational modeling. The danger of blending esotericism with science is resignation: if destruction is inevitable, why fight it? This fatalistic mindset hampers climate action and reinforces political and social inertia. The environmental crisis is not the fulfillment of a prophecy but a challenge demanding pragmatic solutions: energy transitions, reforestation, reduced mass consumption, and strict regulations on industrial emissions. Ancient civilizations predicted the end of the world because they were unaware of the natural causes behind disasters. Today, humanity possesses the tools to understand and reverse planetary degradation. Presenting the climate crisis as a scripted destiny is an abdication of our scientific and ethical responsibility. The future is not predetermined; it depends on human action (or inaction). If you liked the book, leave a short review.
