Is it mainly the moral majority type right wing christians who complain that global warming is a religeon?
LOL! It sure seems so! If they wanted to engage in intelligent discussion, avid deniers would offer scientific evidence to support their position instead of insulting babble about global warming “religion”, “hoaxes”, “liberals” (oh, what a scary label), and Al Gore. The science has nothing to do with any of that scare tactic garbage. Of course I’m not referring in any general way about “conservatives” (I am one, when there’s a conservative party not discarding our Bill of Rights) since many key climate scientists such as Dr. James Hansen are conservatives: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=2… I’m also not referring to thoughtful skeptics, since testing and refining scientific theories is exactly how scientific understanding moves forward. The current counterproductive CO2 “solutions” proposed by politicians deserve the most skepticism (as Dr. Hansen eloquently points out). This is far more complex than the
I never heard that but if they called support for Obama a religion, (that he was our Messiah) then it would not surprise me. They know that those who accept scientific facts generally disagree with a religious belief system explanation. To claim it is a religion is to insinuate that their facts are just belief instead of facts. I have stated that even if there was no Global Warming, there is evidence that the burning of fossil fuel causes air pollution. Smog endangers the health of the young children and the elderly. That is reason enough to develop alternative energy. Not wanting to argue that fact in a post I get insulting emails instead. In defense of Christians, I am a Christian. Not all are closed minded about science. Not all think the world is only 6,000 years old. Some believe in “Intelligent Design” which accepts the concept of other explanations for creation. The thumbs down is no surprise. Being a Liberal, Educated person leads to rejection from the Christian’s right wing. B
I am not a moral majority type by any stretch of the imagination. The Global Warming crowd that accuses the rest of us of being criminals because we live in homes that are heated by fossil fuels, bathe in water heated by fossil fuels, and use motorized transportation are lunatics. The Global Warming believers who accuse the rest of us of being criminals do not deserve to be considered religous. I would say that a better descriprion of the Global Warming believers is that they are members of a bizarre cult. If the Global Warming believers were really religous about the subject they would practive what they preach. the global Warming believers would not live in homes or apartments that are heated by fossil fuel, they would not bathe iin water that had been heated by fossil fuel and they would not use any sort of motorized transportation. the Global Warming believers would be like the Amish if Global Warming were a religion to them. Like the Amish they would set a standard for the rest of
