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.
