Logic Lifeline not the only place claiming Global Warming is a religion

Debra Saunders writes an excellent article titled Global Warming Fever. The underlying point she makes is that the claims made by Al Gore about man causing global warming that will doom the planet is all based on belief. So basically like me, Saunders is claiming that the Global Warming crowd is engaging in a religion. Here are some of the highlights that speak for themself:

Former Veep Al Gore's new movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," however, shows how unscientific -- and downright faith-based -- the left has become.

There are a number of well-known scientists who don't believe that global warming is human-induced, or who believe that if it is, it is not catastrophic.

Hurricane expert William Gray of Colorado State University believes the Earth will start to cool within 10 years.

Neil Frank, former director of the National Hurricane Center, told The Washington Post that global warming is "a hoax."

Climate scientist Robert Lindzen of MIT believes that clouds and water vapor will counteract greenhouse gas emissions.

I thought Gore's chart comparing carbon-dioxide increases to temperature spikes was dramatic. But because Gore omits what he does not want to see, I have to listen to former NASA scientist Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama, when he tells me: "It is an alarming chart, but there are so many alternative explanations for what he's showing. He's giving it one possible explanation and making it sound like the only explanation." Spencer says it is "more likely" that the higher temperatures increased carbon dioxide levels.

Duh. Warmer climate means more vegetation growth which puts out more carbon dioxide. You can miss the forest for the trees in scenarios like that one.

Besides, whenever the establishment says you have to believe something, you want people who question the establishment. Or as global cooling guru Gray once said, "Consensus science isn't science."

Now there is the crux of the matter. How many Global Warming proponents do you see who welcome other opinions. The more you look at it, the more you see that this subject is being treated as religious dogma. No alternative explanations or theories are welcome. Instead of meeting on Sundays, however, they hold church every day.
