When Rupert Dickinson, the chief executive of one of Britain's biggest property firms, left his BlackBerry behind in London while on a business trip to Ireland, he simply ordered one of his staff to get on a plane and deliver the device to him.
For Dickinson's then head of sustainability, Tim Nicholson, the errand was much more than an executive indulgence: it embodied the contempt with which his boss treated his deep philosophical beliefs about climate change.
In a significant decision today , a judge found Nicholson's views on the environment were so deeply held that they were entitled to the same protection as religious convictions, and ruled that an employment tribunal should hear his claim that he was sacked because of his beliefs.

Global warming is a religion.
This is just too good. :-)
Disagree. Global Warming is a “gullible” with a lot of little gullibles trailing as though GW was the Pied Piper.
Islam is quite similar.

I didn’t “try”, I read it. Thanks for the link. Good article.
I still disagree.
Global warming; climate change; Now we can say that public schools may not teach these “beliefs” because they are a religion. Our government forbids state support of any “religion.”
Five tests
In his written judgment, Mr Justice Burton outlined five tests to determine whether a philosophical belief could come under employment regulations on religious discrimination
• The belief must be genuinely held.
• It must be a belief and not an opinion or view based on the present state of information available.
• It must be a belief as to a weighty and substantial aspect of human life.
• It must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance.
• It must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not incompatible with human dignity and not conflict with the fundamental rights of others.
Humanism was given as an example meeting the criteria, while belief in a political party or the supreme nature of Jedi knights, from the Star Wars movies, were offered as ones that do not.
Oh pleazzzzzzz.
Now we live in a society where the judges are loony tunes.

Fire him because he's unqualified for his job. I presume he wasn't hired as a religious minister.
Huh? The guy is absolutely 100% correct. NOT a looney! I and many others have been saying this for years. Telling one of these idiot libs that AGW is total BS is like telling a Christian that there is no God. They go absolutely berzerk. Total fanatical belief in something that cannot be proven.
I did not mean to say that Christians go berzerk. That would be more Muzzie-like.
Sorry, misread.
