We're taking the fight to the ecco-imperialist, social fascist vermin:
The above article, along with the illustration, ran on the front page of today's National Post which backed it up with the Editorial "The folly of Kyoto" & several opinion pieces including "Kyoto is economic suicide as is: Liberal adherence makes no sense unless all countries are signed on".

PING!

[mtbopfuyn]

I can't decide if that's the most hilarious picture I've seen all day or the most disgusting.

[cripplecreek]

Actually I liken it to the people's temple and Al Gore is their Jim Jones.

[BenLurkin]

Algore invented sainthood.

[e_castillo]

I was thinking that it was the new inquisition!

[Aikonaa]

No, it's not a new religion but rather a reframing of the one established by Marx, Engels and Lenin.

[BuffaloJack]

Any time humans are confronted with situations that they cannot explain, they form religions from it.

[Parley Baer]

And a wacko religion at that.

What happens when Deep Environmentalism meets Islam?

[GMMAC]

"What happens when Deep Environmentalism meets Islam? "

Radical feminism & homosexuality too!
Nothing beats watching the conflicted left's client constituencies running headlong into each other!

Personal recommendation: POPCORN !!!

I’m so pleased that this type of analysis of the modern environmentalist movement is beginning to show up in the media. There is a great amount of truth and insight in this article. People need to wake up to the fact that environmentalism is morphing into an apocalyptic faith devoid of facts based on traditional scientific method. The secular Left is promoting the movement as a substitute for religion which they have abandoned.

By destroying pagan animism [the belief that natural objects have souls], Christianity made it possible to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects,” he wrote in a 1967 issue of . “Since the roots of our trouble are so largely religious, the remedy must also be essentially religious, whether we call it that or not.” It was a prescient claim. In a 2003 speech in San Francisco, best-selling author Michael Crichton was among the first to explicitly close the circle, calling modern environmentalism “the religion of choice for urban atheists ... a perfect 21st century re-mapping of traditional JudeoChristian beliefs andmyths.”

It is time to insist on a seperation of religion and state

have you noticed the media saying they are "praying to the (walmart, paint, tile, weather, etc.) gods?

But he understands the unjustified faith that arises from the psychological need tomake predictions.
