Abstract

The right-wing has accused the climate movement, and the climate science upon which it is based, of being apocalyptic to in order to discredit it. This editorial discusses whether we should accept describing the climate movement as apocalyptic. It does so by exploring the etymology of the term and its use in its religious/historical contexts. It discusses its relationship to the interrelated terms of prophecy, messianism, eschatology, and millenarianism. Through a deconstruction and demystification of the term apocalypse in its biblical historical context, it argues that we need to have a secular understanding of it which is indeed applicable to the climate crisis.

"气候启示录
右翼指责气候运动和作为其基础的气候科学是世界末日,以诋毁气候运动。这篇社论讨论了我们是否应该接受将气候运动描述为世界末日。为此,它探讨了该词的词源及其在宗教/历史背景下的使用。文章讨论了它与预言、弥赛亚主义、末世论和千禧年主义等相互关联的术语之间的关系。通过在《圣经》历史背景下对 "天启 "一词的解构和解密,该书认为我们需要对其有一个世俗的理解,而这一理解确实适用于气候危机。
