Steven, it's just another chorus of his Mercland climate change as religion chant.
It's the only tune he knows, so he felt the need to insert it here, completely off topic.

And some of us simply wipe our ass when we take a shit, even though we know it is gonna get dirty again, Merc. Nothing religious or dogmatic in it, at its core, it is a matter of self respect.

Long ago, during the darkest chapter of the 20th century, a movie was released entitled Hitler’s Children.

Since it's a strawman, tell me how 'global warming' differs from any other religion? It has it's assumed 'miracles' (you know when reality doesn't represent dogma), messiah, and 'commandments'. They gather to pray, condemn dissension as heretic, and (your personal favorite) they employ juvenile name calling when called on their 'science'. The religious global warmers refuse to employ scientific method. Their 'Book of Revelations' can't explain, and can't model, prior documented occurrences of prior climate changes.

Not that there is anything wrong with having faith in anything.

Humanity has a need to belief in a greater power. Having evolved from worshiping the moon and the sun, they created a higher power, a 'creator'. Sometimes benevolent, sometimes cruel, their god fit into society to explain the unexplainable. So is it with global warming. Meeting another basic religious requirement - leaders exploiting and personally benefiting from the 'faithful'.

We're not talking about environmentalism. I guess the religious comparison would be they believe in "some greater power"; they recycle, use 'environmentally friendly' products, and buy high MPG cars; however they do not belong to any organized group, or going to 'church' regularly, and every so often they put a soda can in with the regular garbage. A 'mortal' sin for the fanatical global warming followers; directly contributing to the demise of an acre of Brazilian rain-forest. That belief takes faith.

Global warming is clearly not science; what's left is religion. The believers are no different than any other organized faith backed group.

I don't employ it MM; I leave the inablity to make an argument and reponding with attempted insult and name calling to you. I indentify it for what it is, in my opinion.
