It's official, Environmentalism is Religion!

As if to confirm my previous post, a number of prominent scientists including the "godfather of Global Warming" James Hansen of NASA, have teamed up with the National Association of Evangelicals to advocate for political action on climate change. They just released a joint statement which stated:

We believe that the protection of life on Earth is a profound moral imperative. It addresses without discrimination the interests of all humanity as well as the value of the non-human world. It requires a new moral awakening to a compelling demand, clearly articulated in Scripture and supported by science, that we must steward the natural world in order to preserve for ourselves and future generations a beautiful, rich, and healthful environment. For many of us, this is a religious obligation, rooted in our sense of gratitude for Creation and reverence for its Creator.

...and so it is official. Environmentalism is a religion. Read more in this PDF release from the group. Hallelujah!!!

I guess this explains why Environmentalists are no more interested in debate and reason than Spanish Inquisition or Jihadis.
