Y’know what? I really do think there are those on the Left who care nothing about “Global Warming” but get behind it because they have been feeling sorry for Al Gore for six years and just want to humor him and make him “feel better.”
Oy.
Christians would view it as worshipping false Gods. Atheists may view it as the "God part of the brain" manifesting itself.
Interestingly, the majority who "believe" don't "practice." This is why we see the hypocrisy in global warming nutcases. They fly around in private jets, then preach or make movies for their atonement.
It is the same thing as drinking and carousing on Saturday night, then going off to Church to be forgiven on Sunday morning.
Some global warming nuts only attend "church" on holidays (free concert), others weekly (Prius drivers) and still others approach Taliban levels of "devotion" (politicians outlawing conventional light bulbs). Most all of them rely on faith, while there are some who will invent bad science to justify their religion.
