I wrote something similar once before as a comment to a previous PJM article, but I’ll paraphrase myself now. I am not a scientist, I wouldn’t presume to have a scientific opinion about global warming. With that, I almost find myself hoping that it is true, because if it is not, the alternative explanation is that the scientific establishment has become ideologically compliant to the political Left. That is a frightening thing.
But while I may not be a scientist, I do know something of religion. I’m a religious person myself, and I know full well the difference between healthy faith that affirms life, breeds charity, and demands thoughtful introspection; and sick-souled faith that craves dogma, persecutes heretics, and rationalizes hatred. The global warming movement has fallen to that second kind of believers. Even if global warming is true, that truth is irrelevant to them.
This is an apocalyptic religious movement, and it shares with all others of its ilk the obsessions with dogma, heresy, heretics, and eager anticipation of watching humans destoyed for their sins. Substitute the wrath of nature for the wrath of God, and rising oceans for hellfire, and it would sound the same.
May Gaia have mercy on our souls.
