The art exhibition of York Brimstone did not get rescheduled despite the occurrence of the energy resurgence.
Not everyone believed that this energy resurgence would grant them special abilities. The authorities did all they could to dispel such rumors, using "science" to explain the phenomenon. Basically, it was attributed to a celestial body passing by Earth, causing abnormal magnetic field fluctuations, which led to the "revival of all things."
They also clarified that only plant life was affected by this magnetic disturbance.
This explanation was the result of collaborative research by many scholars. Even though many people had their doubts, most people around the world trusted in science. The mysterious magnetic field fluctuations causing rampant plant growth, coupled with previously observed strange phenomena, were largely seen as just a spectacle.
