A cityplanet (future earth?) where energy is harvested from shapes/structures underground, and directed across the world by horns on top of buildings.

Sometimes a person touches one of these energy producing structures and becomes huge and fiery, causing destruction until they die.

English, paperback, maybe 300-500 pages, read it at least 10 years ago.

Considering all earths resources are severe ally dwindled compared to earth thousands of years ago would humans even reach the Bronze Age considering bronze and iron deposits aren’t as easily attainable as they were thousands of years ago?

'The Structure of Heaven and Earth: How Ancient Cosmology Shaped Everyone’s Theology'

Cosmic Symbolism in Hellenistic Judaism

A fair amount of evidence has accumulated showing that Jews in the hellenized world were similarly concerned with astrology and the influence of the cosmos. Several early Jewish synagogues have been uncovered with intact floor mosaics that feature images of the zodiac, the seasons, the moon, and the sun in the form of Helios the sun god with his chariot. Jewish amulets from the first century onward feature a personified sun and moon as well as the stars and planets, represented in a manner implying astral piety. In some, the sun is identified as Iaō (Yahweh in Greek). (Goodenough, pp. 116-126)

The great temple in Jerusalem featured astral symbolism as well. According to Josephus, the outer veil of the temple, an enormous curtain 80 feet high, depicted a β€œpanorama of the entire heavens”, i.e. the starry sky (J.W. 5.5.4). According to both Josephus and Philo, the β€œholy candlestick” (menorah) in the temple had seven branches to represent the seven planets (cf. Philo, Heir of Divine Things, 221-24). Philo also identified the twelve stones on the high priest’s breastplate as symbols of the zodiac, worn in imitation of the true temple, which was the cosmos itself (Som. 1.215). Rabbinical sources averred that the twelve tribes of Israel were an allusion to the zodiac,⁸ as were the various furnishings of the first temple that came in twelves: basins, cups, spoons, oxen, etc. The round brazen sea in the temple was supposed to have represented the cosmos. (See Goodenough, p. 149 for sources.) ...

The Dead Sea Scrolls provide another example of a first-century Jewish community that was interested in the stars. Some of the Qumran documents focus on astronomy for the purposes of keeping religious calendars, and others for astrological purposes. Examples include 4Q186, an astrological handbook, and 4Q318, a document containing a zodiacal calendar with astrological predictions at the end.

Astral immortality β€” the Platonic conception of the afterlife β€” also gained a significant following in Judaism during this period. ...

Early Christianity: Jewish Tradition Meets Greek Cosmology

It becomes apparent now (to me, at least) that early Christianity was a form of Hellenistic Judaism that had been released from its ethnic restrictions β€” a blend of Jewish tradition with Platonic cosmology focused on a heavenly redeemer figure who was reconceived as the saviour not of Israel, but of the entire cosmos.

Landmark UN study: Melting glaciers, as well as ice sheets, raising Earth's seas | Mountain glaciers are significant drivers of sea-level rises, and their melting impacts hundreds of millions who depend on the structures for water

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)


> Paris - As the planet's polar ice sheets destabilise amid rising temperatures, a landmark UN assessment of Earth's retreating frozen spaces is also set to spell out how melting mountain glaciers will impact humanity in the decades to come.

> Glaciers high up mountains also lost around 280 billion tonnes of ice each year during the same period, raising seas a further 0.77 millimetres annually.

> There are roughly 200,000 glaciers - vast, ancient reserves of ice - on Earth and their relative smallness compared to the polar ice sheets makes them especially vulnerable to rising temperatures.

> The summary also warned that in regions with little ice cover, including Central Europe, North Asia and Scandinavia, glaciers were projected to shrink 80 percent by 2100.

> Despite this stark example of what can happen when glacial water supply is disrupted, Andrade said their was a paradox in explaining how melting glaciers are bad news for agriculture.

> "We have now more water from the glaciers because they are melting and farmers maybe don't realise that," he said.
