What’s sadly funny is that the AGW alarmists are generally people who would scoff at those who hold traditional religious vies, and yet THEY are the ones who have taken a true Fundamentalist Religious position on this matter. (Wasn’t it Chesterton who said that the man who believes nothing will believe anything?)

No criticism allowed! No skepticism permitted! Ye Must Believe, or be cast out of the Congregation!!! Heresy must be punished!

This new religion has got a Priesthood, (Jones, Mann, Hansen) dietary restrictions, (Gaia cries when you eat meat!) indulgences (er, carbon credits), and it’s even got the promise of hellfire and eternal damnation for all unless we mend our wicked ways!

REPENT!!! ye will all all perish in flames unless ye REPENT! Hear the word of the Prophet and REPENT!!!

At least they could try to get some new tunes — the hymns they’re singing are already getting pretty stale.
