It would seem Isaiah also predicted climate destruction and our societal indifference to it: "Yet it is a people plundered and despoiled: All of them are trapped in holes, Imprisoned in dungeons. They are given over to plunder, with none to rescue them; To despoilment, with none to say “Give back!” (23) If only you would listen to this, Attend and give heed from now on! (24) Who was it gave Jacob over to despoilment And Israel to plunderers? Surely, the LORD against whom they sinned In whose ways they would not walk And whose Teaching they would not obey. (25) So He poured out wrath upon them, His anger and the fury of war. It blazed upon them all about, but they heeded not; It burned among them, but they gave it no thought.

Something in this reminds me of the Serpent's words to Eve about opening her eyes (Genesis 3:4).

I can't tease out what it is though.
