| Summary: | The world has repeatedly suffered severe climate-driven shocks, which have resulted in famine, disease, violence, social upheaval, and mass migration. Such episodes have often been understood in religious terms, through the language of apocalypse, millennium, and Judgment.

Philip Jenkins shows how climate change has redrawn the world's religious maps, and how man-made climate change is likely to do so once again. |
