Global Warming Is The New Religion
Here is a link to a very interesting and provocative article based on a new book entitled “Heaven and Earth — Global Warming: The Missing Science” by Ian Plimer who is a geologist and professor of mining geology at Adelaide University in Australia.

Give it a good read. It points out, among other things, two ideas I happen to agree with.
One, that we as a prosperous society are being made to feel we have committed some grievous “sin” against the earth and must “repent” through changing our lifestyle of prosperity and success, as well as pay “penance” to the “church” of global warmists (does this sound at all familiar in the arena of Religion?) in order to be “forgiven” by means of cap and trade laws (among other “pending” fees and taxes).
Two, that throughout the history of this planet there have been ice ages and global warming ages and that the global warming periods were much more agreeable to a better life than the ice ages were.
But, read the article. It puts it into perspective far better than I could…..
