THE ENVIRONMENT: THE NEW FOUND RELIGION OF THE LEFT
To many Christians, Catholics & Evangelicals across the country, God is often conceived of as the Supernatural Creator and overseer of the universe.
The Left has now anointed and come to worship Al Gore as their new religious leader & overseer of their Environmental universe. The Environment has become the Left’s new religion and Al Gore their God.
Not too many may have read or heard about the Society of Environmental Journalists conference in Wisconsin last week and that is because once again Al Gore was at a loss for words when questioned by journalists about factual errors in his movie “An Inconvenient Truth”.
When pressed by one reporter about whether he intended to correct the record, a spontaneous wave of applause could be heard. But to the surprise of those in attendance, the other reporters in the room avoided witnessing the embarrassment of Gore by shutting off the questioning journalists’ microphone.
The question on why British schools are still required to issue the equivalent of a health warning that you might see on a pack of cigarettes – before showing his film was never answered.
And so the Church of Global Warming and Melting Icebergs continues with its sermons and orations from it’s chief propheteer, Al Gore. Al continues to tell his followers that the icebergs will melt, the sea levels will rise over 20 feet and New York City will be under water. Here, Here Amen. On any given day, this is some of the back and forth you might hear as his Holiness assures his flock that Global Warming is the Gospel.
Non-Believer : Wait a minute, I thought the IPCC said the sea levels would only rise 7 to 23 inches by the year 2100?
Environmental God : But haven’t I showed you that the snow is melting on Mt. Kilimanjaro?
Non-Believer : But I heard the melting was well under way long before SUV’s & Jumbo Jets?
Environmental God: Hmm. Hmm. Well, didn’t I tell you about Lake Chad and how it is disappearing right before our very own eyes? What do you have to say now?
Non-Believer: Isn’t that because of overpopulation, overgrazing and regional climates?
Environmental God: Ok. Ok. Didn’t I talk about all the Polar bears drowning because they have to swim farther to find ice?
Non Believer: I thought it was only 4 Polar Bears that actually drowned as a result of a storm? You know, I don’t need to stay here and listen to this crap for the next twenty years. This is all nonsense.
Environmental God: Non Believer, you will wind up under water like all of them!
This is the kind of verse & chapter that Environmentalists listen to intently. But when non believers question or criticize their religion, you are committing blasphemy. They try and silence you by tagging you as Evil Polar Bear haters or even worse.
I think it is now time for all of us to begin questioning the conventional wisdom and intent of this new religion and exposing its true intentions and at what cost.
It is time to start talking about how one man has been able to swindle so many millions from its followers like so many other religious leaders have done to their congregations in the past. It is reminiscent of the faith healer that promises to make the blind see, the cripple walk and the old young again. They line up and fill up every seat in the house for a chance to see a miracle. The Faith Healer talks and works the crowd into a frenzy until finally he handpicks someone in the crowd. Unbeknownst to the gullible crowd, the blind man that is made to see again is in on the hoax.
This is exactly what has taken place with this new religion. A faith healer - Al Gore, a God with powers beyond any other God has mesmerized throngs of believers. In this religion, it is the government that is playing the part of the blind man that can’t see. In this religion, it is the far left that sits in the church pews waiting patiently for their miracle only to see their God walk away with their money.

Really, these people love to call themselves "scientists" although they're religious fundamentalists. Just instead of cleric robes they where lab coats. At least to me the distinction is that the scientist has questions
As for ahol, whose name says more than I care to imagine, China is now the No. 1 investor, researcher and soon producer of sustainable green energy technology; the Chinese are very smart and realise their long erm economic growth can't be sustained by fossil fuels or even nuclear power and are slowly shifting their economy to green technology and investment in the sector is creating huge numbers of new jobs there (Tom Friedman has some good articles about it). So tell me RH, tell one person who does not give a damn about Al Gore, what you plan to do if you're wrong, or then call yourself a coward.
China is not going to wreck their economy. THey have seen what has happened in spain where the unemployment rate is 18% after investing in and changing over to a green economy. I applaud for learning from histroy in this one regard.
India has the same concerns. They are enjoying good economic growth and they do not want to gamble that on junk science.
We'll what direction this movement takes when they meet up again in Copenhagen and discuss Worldwide Climate Issues. I can't see this government going thru with any Cap & Trade Legislation and burdening Americans with more taxes.
Again, when you sell Global Warming under the guise of "Saving The Planet", people will listen. But as more information gets out, people will begin to see for themselves that this is nothing more than someones science project on steroids.
I think you now know how George Bush feels to have all the problems in Iraq & Afghanistan associated with his Presidency.
The problem I have with this entire Global Warming Issue is that it has not been turned into a Humanitarian cause. It has been turned into a money making scheme by way of using scare tactics from environmentalists and politicians alike who stand to profit handsomely from keeping the hysteria alive.
Environmentalists have been wrong on countless other related issues but I will reference one to highlight the madness of the hard-core environmentalist.
In Africa each year, millions of babies and families contract malaria. A devastating disease that kills and devastates anyone that comes down with it.
The only thing that works to control and reduce malaria cases is DDT, dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane.
Rachel Carson and environmentalist, who could be considered the Al Gore DDT, concluded wrongly, that it would have a devastating effect on birds, livestock and even humans that would disrupt ecosystems and so forth. Instead of doing the right thing by conducting objective scientific studies to determine the long term effects of DDT, she along with the environmentalist movement of the time mounted a campaign - much in the way that is being done today with Co2, to have DDT removed as a weapon against Malaria.
The results were devastating, over 30 million babies have died as a result of malaria in Kenya & most of West Africa as a result of caring more for the birds and environment than a human life.
The fact of the matter is that no other chemical works as good or at a lower cost in stopping malaria or other mosquito borne diseases. There is no proof that when used responsibly, this chemical does any harm to birds, animals or the environment.
The WHO is finally listening to the health community that was once ridiculed for opposing the DDT ban, and have now started supporting DDt's use in combatting malaria and saving millions of lives.
Despite all of the positive results, Environmentalist continue to threaten parts of Africa and for that matter any coountry that uses DDT, with agricultural bans and sactions.
It is eerily similiar to how Al Gore continues to worry about hypothetical problems from the emission of CO2 instead of reaching out and embracing other studies and research that counter his in an attempt to really zero in and what is and isn't causing harm to our planet.
I just gave one good example about how the fervor of one Environmentalist has caused the death of millions of Africans. I am afraid that this same fervor will lead to millions of Americans losing their jobs, see their electricity rates sky rocket, experience blackouts, and diminish the way of life for millions of Americans. This planet has been around for Billions of years and has experienced catastrophic events worse than a little CO2 being emitted. There have been Ice Ages, Droughts, hit by meteors, eruptions, and through it all it is still here.
I am not ready to commit myself to this cause becasue there is evidence to the contrary that refutes and precisely points out that Global Warming is exaggerated.
But the great thing that makes this country is opinion & looking back at history. Let's not make the same mistake that Rachel Carson made many years ago.
I respect your position that the Earth has seen a lot and that there is a certain amount of evidence against warming being a global catastrophe, however, I would ask that you disassociate this from the motives of a liberal cause, because it is not one. I do not think that the world is immediately coming to an end, but by associating these causes with political factions, the import of what is happening is reduced; whether we are talking about deforestation, a major problem, or air and water pollution. I apologise for calling you a coward, or intimating such. Thanks for the reply.
why don’t you ask the british since it is apparently their rule
“Non-Believer : Wait a minute, I thought the IPCC said the sea levels would only rise 7 to 23 inches by the year 2100?”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/mar/11/sea-level-rises-climate-change-copenhagen
“Environmental God: Hmm. Hmm. Well, didn’t I tell you about Lake Chad and how it is disappearing right before our very own eyes? What do you have to say now?
Non-Believer: Isn’t that because of overpopulation, overgrazing “
i hate to tell you but overpopulation and overgrazing is one of the points being made about what is causing global warming. You know the MAN MADE interference to our environment part
I know why they won't show the fils without that disclaimer. Because the Supreme Court there ruled that the film contains flaws and outright lies or exaggerations that distort the truth.
You can choose to ignore the facts, but as long as Al Gore keeps running from the truth and fails to correct the record on these flaws, he holds no credibility.
The problem is that he is putting himself out there as one of the leading voices but he refuses to correct the record on flawed information he used in his film. Information that many people take as the Gospel and does a real disservice to the debate. He is also benefitting immensely from this hysteria while everyone else will be stuck with icreasing utility bills ($1,792 on average per family).
I would wish that he debates real scientists that offer a different view instead of hiding behind this video that is so factually inaccurate.
I have read many of the early IPCC reports and many of those scientists were silenced when their opinions contradicted the desired outcome.
I am not blind to see some human intervention may be attributable to some pollution, but to place all my faith and money on one guy is a a bad bet. Thanks for opinion.
So you would rather see your neighbor possibly die it meant seeing to it that a Polar Bear was saved or a bird species was protected?
As I pointed out, and this is why I said this was a Liberal cause. Liberals by their track record of protecting the unborn and pro-abortion stances, would naturally side with the species over man dilemma.
then i guess they can join the scientist that silenced under the bush administration when their data contradicted the desired outcome
I hate to disagree with you but I will.
DDT was and is the most effective way to combat malaria and any other mosquito born disease. The reason this goes underreported is because malaria has been under control in the US & Europe and so it is not at the forefront of concerns. I urge you to research & look up DDT & Malaria information and the death tolls caused by banning this substance.
We are seeing similiar disregard for human righ here in the US in California. Farmers and thoussands of valley families are being decimated and thier livelihoods are being destriyed on account of protecting the Delta Smelt fish which is about 3" long and not in any danger of going extinct.
Once again, I will place more value on life than on any animal or species or plant. This is why this has been labeled a Liberal Issue. When it comes to protecting Life, Liberals always look the other way.
I think if our politicians were straight forward with us and told us what is really going on instead of having to rely on profiteers like Al Gore, I would be less cynical. I do understand that we have to protect our planet and leave in as good a shape or better than when we got it. But it just irks me to no end to have so much of this junk science shoved down our throats by people that are out to just profit from it.
Until I see more, it's going to be People before Polar Bears
so with that logic, let the people die anyway...
I am respondong to your comment. You said:
"mosquitoes have built up a resistance to ddt so it doesn't work any more".
And my answer to that was, according to that logic, then we should let the people die anyway?
It sounded like your argument is, that why bother with the millions that die in Africa since DDT does nothing for them..
Exactly my point. Unfortunately there are many people out there that don't take the time to do so and are reeled in.
