Is GlobalWarming a religion?

Question

is Al its high priest?

It seems that those who have bought into the 'humans can destroy the weather but carbon credits can fix it' cult take on faith everything said by their priesthood , never mind the science that proves the cyclic nature of climatic change .

Answer 1

nope it not

Answer 2

Is Oil Addiction a religion?

Oil companies keep monitoring this site.

Answer 3

Yes, it IS categorized as a religeon because the devotees take all of their information on faith without trying to discerne for themselves what is true and what is not.

Answer 4

No, it is a phenomenon happening because of many different cause, many believe that humans are the source which is partly true but there are many other sources that cause it. If there are people that are sad enough to worships something such as this they have to get a day job.

Answer 5

It seems to be getting that way, doesn't it? When Al was on the Opera Show, she said "I bet you feel a lot like Noah, don't you?" and he said yes, the idiot. Also, in "An Inconvenient Truth", he says that seeing all these "calamities," so called, was like taking a walk through the Book of Revelation. He's just trying to seem pious, and to make all of us skeptics seem like heretics. Yup, environmentalism it's the new world religion, and the Greens are the clergy with Saint Al as their pope.

Answer 6

Sure seems so.If only because of the reactions of those who don't agree with any other opion.The answers to my questions(those who don't see it my way)have been very rude.And for whatever reason(denial?)most do not accept e-mails.Here's a little bit of trivia as an example of truth that seems to drive them nuts.  (Note the dates of some of the extreme weather,and tell me if things have changed much over the last 70 or 80 years ago)

Gordf snow in the search for survivors.

•Deadliest Canadian Tornado - June 30, 1912. A late afternoon tornado slashed through six city blocks in Regina, killing up to 40 people, injuring 300 others, destroying 500 buildings and leaving a quarter of the population homeless. Better known as the "Regina Cyclone", the tornado lasted three minutes but it took 46 years to pay for the damages.

•Black Sunday Storm - November 7-13, 1913. One of the most severe Great Lakes storms on record swept winds of 140 km/h over lakes Erie and Ontario, taking down 34 ships and 270 sailors. Days later, the crew of one ship was found lashed to the mast, frozen to death -- only the ship survived.

•Storm Claims Sealers - April 1, 1914. Seventy-seven sealers froze to death during a violent storm on the ice off the southeast coast of Labrador. At the height of the storm, from March 31 to April 2, the temperature was -23°C with winds from the northwest at 64 km/h.

•Fog Causes Ship Collision - May 29, 1914. Shallow river fog contributed to the collision of two ships -- the CP Liner Empress of Ireland and a Norwegian coal ship, The Storstad -- in the St. Lawrence River, 300 km seaward from Quebec City. The liner sank in 25 minutes, and 1,024 passengers lost their lives.

•Princess Sophia Sinks off BC - October 23, 1918. A Canadian steamship carrying miners from Yukon and Alaska became stranded on Vanderbilt Reef. Rescuers were unable to remove the 268 passengers and 75 crewmen due to a strong northerly gale. The next day, weather conditions worsened and the ship sank killing all on board.

•The Deadliest Heat Wave in History - July 5-17, 1936. Temperatures exceeding 44°C in Manitoba and Ontario claimed 1,180 Canadians (mostly the elderly and infants) during the longest, deadliest heat wave on record. Four hundred of these deaths were caused by people who drowned seeking refuge from the heat. In fact, the heat was so intense that steel rail lines and bridge girders twisted, sidewalks buckled, crops wilted and fruit baked on trees.

•Hottest Day on Record - July 5, 1937. The highest temperature ever recorded in Canada was reached at Midale and Yellowgrass, Saskatchewan when the mercury soared to 45°C.

•Worst Blizzard in Canadian Railway History - January 30 to February 8, 1947. A ten-day blizzard buried towns and trains from Winnipeg to Calgary, causing some Saskatchewan roads and rail lines to remain plugged with snow until spring. Children stepped over power lines to get to school and built tunnels to get to the outhouse. A Moose Jaw farmer had to cut a hole in the roof of his barn to get in to feed his cows.

•Coldest Temperature in North America - February 3, 1947. The temperature in Snag, Yukon dipped to -63°C, establishing Canada's reputation for extreme cold.

•Greatest Rainfall in One Day - October 6, 1967. A one-day rainfall of 489.2 mm occurred at Ucluelet Brynnor Mines, BC - a Canadian weather record that still stands.

•Crater in Quebec Opens During Rainstorm - May 4, 1971. Tragedy struck the village of St-Jean-Vianney, Quebec when heavy rains caused a sinkhole 600 m wide and 30 m deep to appear in a residential area. The crater/mudslide killed 31 people and swallowed up 35 homes, a bus and several cars.

•Ocean Ranger Disaster - February 15, 1982. Bad weather caused the sinking of the largest semi-submersible drilling rig in the world, 300 km east of Newfoundland. In total, 84 people died in the world's second worst disaster involving an offshore drill ship. Winds of 145 km/h, waves of 21 metres and high seas hampered rescue efforts.

•Worst Air Crash in Canada - December 12, 1985. An Arrow Airlines DC-8, after refueling in Gander en route to Kentucky, crashed seconds after take-off, killing 248 members of the US 101st Airborne Division and 8 crew. Just before the crash, freezing drizzle and snow grains were reported. The temperature was -4.2°C and winds were light from the west.

•Record Wind Chill - January 28, 1989. It was bad enough when the temperature dropped to -51°C in Pelly Bay, NWT but the wind made the air feel even colder when the wind chill equivalent reached -91°C.

•Hailstorm Strikes Calgary - September 7, 1991. A supper-hour storm lasting 30 minutes dropped 10-cm diameter hail in Calgary subdivisions, splitting trees, breaking windows and siding, and crushing birds. Homeowners filed a record 116,000 insurance claims, with property damage losses exceeding $300 million -- the most destructive hailstorm ever and the second costliest storm in Canada.

•Canada's Only World-Weather Record - September 11, 1995. The QE2 ocean liner was struck by a 30-metre wave during Hurricane Luis off the coast of Newfoundland, marking the largest measured wave height in the world. The massive storm covered almost the entire North Atlantic, almost 2,000 km across.

•Greatest Single-Day Snowfall Record - February 11, 1999. Tahtsa Lake, BC, received 145 cm of snow, a new Canadian single-day snowfall record, but well below the world's record of 192 cm at Silver Lake, Colorado on April 15, 1921

•Rogers Pass Avalanche - March 5, 1910. Sixty-two train men and labourers perished 2 km west of Rogers Pass, BC, when their engine was hit by an avalanche and hurtled 500 metres into Bear Creek. Over 600 volunteers used pick axes and shovels to dig through 10 m o

Answer 7

Al Gore merely reports a very tiny amount of the science.  With or without him there's still a vast amount of scientific research that indicates humans are partly respensible for the current unprecedented rises in temperatures.

The "science that proves the cyclic nature of climatic change" is the same science that proves these cycles occur over periods of thousands and millions of years, not a few decades which is what we're witnessing now.

Answer 8

No way, it's a scientific theory that anyone may or may not believe

Answer 9

There is more proof in Global warming than there is on the subject of God and Jesus Christ..

Religion is a way to control people, Global Warming is some thing us Humans are doind to the Planet,,It is more important to make money than  it is to take care of the Planet...

and why do the religiuos nut cases have to push their beleifes on us who don't feel the same way...

So to answer you question..NO Global Warming is not a religion..

Peace

Answer 10

NO NOT YET

Global warming it is hardly a religion ,

its just the opposite ,but who knows we could end up like that.

Religions prepare people for death and to accept the fate the Gods have in store for them

a blind acceptance

and like brainwashed drones ,the religious ones expect to be led to their paradise when they have screwed up this planet completely,and they don't care because their beautiful wonderful heaven is waiting for them ,it does not seem to bother them that they are expected to die first

--------------------------------------...

then there are those who love this planet ,

,who are concerned with what happens here ,and who want to go on living here, in  an Earthly  paradise ,with out having to die first ,

it seems to me ,to make everybody happy ,the religious ones should go to their Paradise ,

like maybe tomorrow ,

so that we can get on with taking care of ours

this would solve many problems ,it would make a big dent in overpopulation,take the pressure of agriculture to feed an extra 70 million people every year & water supplies  ,slow down urbanization , deforestation & desertification

the planet would be rid of many enemies and to turn the whole thing into a religion ,we could help the present religious ones on their way

with dignified tastfull ful moon parties ,and if we also use the remains to fertilize the fields destroyed by irresponsible agriculture ,absolutly everybody and everything comes out the winner

all ending up so very happy

Answer 11

Don't be such a dupe, if you want some real science why don't you check the summation of 30 years of atmospheric research from an international team of objective scientists:
