The Religion of Global Warming

If a teacher admits to praying, especially if it is a Christian prayer, they can lose their job in some school districts. Sarah Palin admits to consulting God in the big decisions and she is pilloried by the press. Some talking heads at MSNBC actually went ballistic over that one. If you say that human evolution is still only a theory and not established fact, you are derided as being absurd, nonintellectual and possibly a danger to modern society. Declare that abortion, whether legal or not is still the taking of a human life, and you are called every name in the book, few of them printable, but not one of the protesters can offer scientific evidence to dispute the declaration.

The separation of Church and State is one of the primary mantras of the left. Before I continue, I have to make a point. By the left, I do not mean Democrats. The left is fairly inclusive and has adherents from every party except possibly the Independent American Party whose plank, by its very nature excludes any liberal thought.

Elitism, such as the left expresses, considers the Christian Church to be the greatest danger America has ever faced. The very idea of a politician even associating with Christianity is anathema to the left. They cannot wrap their tiny little minds around the concept that there may exist a being who is the creator and who may judge their actions. Even discussing the subject causes anger, and in some cases rage. But then comes along Al Gore and the Church of Global Warming, or the GW church.

Christianity’s detractors consistently bring up the Catholic inquisitions and other heinous acts by those who purported to be church leaders. They also consistently forget that Christ himself warned of wolves in sheep’s clothing. So why do these same detractors so avidly follow the church of Global Warming? Archeology has proven many times over that the bible is not a simple work of fiction, but there has yet to be a single scientific proof to the claims of Global Warming’s chief prophet. In fact, in a recent article published in the Telegraph in the U.K., the numbers used by the GW church were based on lies.

Within the article are these paragraphs: “So what explained the anomaly? GISS's computerized temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious "hockey stick" graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new "hotspot" in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year.”

The Telegraph article goes on to describe the fanaticism of one Dr. Hanson. Dr Hansen almost single handedly began the Global Warming scare in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Later on Hanson was forced to admit that the Global temperature in the 1930’s was warmer than it was in the 1990’s. In fact, rather than gaining a degree, as the GW church prophesied, the earth has cooled by a third of a degree. But facts do not affect religion. For example, polar bears are actually breeding faster than humans. Those famous photos of a bear on a “shrinking” ice berg, do not show the endless ice sheet a few degrees to the right of the photo. When an elementary school teacher was given a report detailing facts contrary to Global Warming’s claims, she said. “That’s nice, but I know what I believe.” That is a statement of faith, not of knowledge.

Global Warming adherents are expressing a faith, not facts. Far too many truly reputable scientists have brought forth evidence that nature and the universe, not humanity has had a far greater affect on earth’s global climate. Volcanoes, the sun, meteorites and comets have all left their mark on the archeological record. For those in the Global Warming Church who scoff at this fact, I just have one question. How many SUV’s did prehistoric man drive?
