In decline and fall of the Roman Empire, Gibbons focuses a lot on the people’s climate fears. The people believed that there was nothing that could be done and that they deserved nature’s wrath. In the 1600s, Lisbon was leveled by an earthquake. Some thought that God was punishing them others saw it as an opportunity to rebuild and grow stronger. Today, Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I pray for people to end the fear and believe in a bigger future. Happy new year.
