Is global warming a religion

Answer 1

A religion entails belief in a supernatural controlling power, especially a God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. There are those who with excessive zeal promote action to stop global warming, as well as those who, again with excessive zeal, deny its reality or our ability to do anything about it. However, excessive zeal on either side does not constitute religion.

Sometimes it seems so. Any religion is based on unprovable beliefs, and religious people have faith that their beliefs are true. "Faith" implies a lack of PROOF; if you had proof, you wouldn't need faith. Further, most religions differentiate between good actions, and "sin" - where "sin" is described as "evil actions".

Many of the claims of global warming lack any real scientific basis, and most do require an element of faith - belief without proof - by their supporters. People who do not accept the claims of "global warming" are frequently denounced as "evil", and as "environmental sinners". Given that "sin" cannot exist without a religious belief, many global warming advocates do act in distinctly "religious" ways.

The writings of any religion are not subject to question or scrutiny by the faithful, and this is certainly the case with the canons of global warming. Any attempt to verify the claims, to examine the fundamental data, or to question the proclamations of the priests are strenuously opposed.

Answer 2

We prefer the term global climate change to "global warming" now. And no, it is not a theory. It is a fact. Global climate change is happening. Right now. While it is true that the global climate of the earth changes over time (we've had ice ages, haven't we?), the speed of that change is alarming when we look at the present. And it is man that is causing it to change so rapidly.

Answer 3

The religious view of global warming is that although human beings are seen as the most intelligent life form on earth, they are responsible for almost all the damage done to the planet. Imagine the earth is aged 46 - all the damage done has taken place in the last 60 seconds of the earth's life.
