The Religion of Climate Change and its Rituals

I have spouted for months about how the global warming/climate change extremists are very “religious” about their so-called “science,” and how their zeal is far more like religion than science. The science these people use is horrid, in fact it isn’t science at all, but more like religious in nature. I love how Michael Barone (writes for The Washington Examiner, Feb 4, 2010), puts this issue, and I’m passing it on.

“The secular religion of global warming has all the elements of a religious faith: original sin (we are polluting the planet), ritual (separate your waste for recycling), redemption (renounce economic growth) and the sale of indulgences (carbon offsets). We are told that we must have faith (all argument must end, as Al Gore likes to say) and must persecute heretics (global warming skeptics are like Holocaust deniers, we are told). People in the grip of such a religious frenzy evidently feel justified in lying, concealing good evidence and plucking bad evidence from whatever flimsy source may be at hand.”

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama alluded to "the overwhelming evidence on climate change," Suggesting that no one could reasonably disagree, then he threw a left jab (pun intended) at the skeptics by adding, "even if you doubt the evidence." The religious faithful of the Climate Change Church are closing ranks, and intend to purge all disbelievers and heretics from the discussion.

From the president on down, from the former vice president, to the faithful followers in the pews of the Democratic Party, belief is essential, because in this false religion there is little truth, bad science, and a whole of shaking their finger going on at those who disbelieve.
