Tim Nicholson, 42, was made redundant in July 2008 from his £77,000-a-year post as head of sustainability with Grainger, the UK’s biggest residential landlord.

He was preparing to sue his former employer, alleging that his redundancy was a direct result of his green opinions about the dangers of climate change - which put him at odds with other senior executives within the firm.

Don’t know about the lawsuit but Global Warming is certainly a religion.

The Left replaces religious meaning to life and peace with false religions such as multiculturalism and environmentalism.

That’s why they don’t need actual proof of global warming rail against non-believers: It’s their faith.

The fact that this bozo is not universally ostracized and subject to ridicule, and instead is financially rewarded for such b.s., is more evidence for the depravity of contemporary legal and political life in so many places. Unreal

So does that mean when a greenie weenie terminates a ‘denier’ that means he can be sued too?

I doubt it. If the terminated party had used a rational thought process to reach his conclusions that he would have no grounds to sue. Rational thought is probably not a protected belief system.

So if environmentalism is a religion, shouldn’t it be banned from schools?
