Recently, I came across adverts for people to attend religious establishments to pray for divine intervention against climate change. They were marketed as a way to escape “bad news” and hear “good news” instead.
Initially, I thought it was just a cynical ploy to raise more funds for religious groups, but on reflection, such publicity can also mean that more people are becoming stressed about the severity of the impacts of climate change, and are now open to seeking spiritual and divine guidance for handling a complex problem.
