The closest comparison I can make with the "fundamental religion" of environmentalism is that of the suicidal religion of Islamic fundamentalism. Both religions have believers firmly out of touch with reality and common sense. Also, here on Kauai, we are repeatedly reminded of the power of nature - 3 tourist deaths in the past 10 days or so in the ocean and rivers. A nearby ocean tourist attraction, Queen's Bath, has claimed 34 lives since 1970, almost all visitors. Yet when my 16 year old son warns the tourists of the dangers, they usually ignore him.

Disagree. Marxism has many of the characteristics of a religion (prophecies, inerrant scripture, promises of a better future, etc), and it takes the place of (normal) religion for its true believers. That's what the enviros are.

(Green is the color of Islam, though...)
