Comments on: Now that the Vatican has listed pollution as a sin, you may now call global warming a religion?

I know that just being silly, but we already know that the belief that humans are causing climate change is a kind of religion.
Taking such a leap of faith to believe that humans can cause heating, cooling, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc etc
It is also a religion, because it ignores any science, and not allow the debate on the issue.
This religion also allows indulgences in the form of "carbon credits". Persons who violate the commandments of the religion can purchase absolution by purchasing these things.
When you think AGW is a state run religion.

No, even people willing to take a leap of faith can not deny science when the evidence is overwhelming.
Global warming theory has been studied and confirmed the theory of evolution. Do you deny that the theory as well? Will they then claim that the earth is 6000 years old? Maybe you stop believing in the gravitational theory and simply float away?
Unfortunately, denial will not just disappear, they will put on the consequenses faster and more severe effects.

Pope says only that the pollution was a sin. Schools do not teach children to pollute the same, because they do not teach children to kill or steal. The Catholic church is not really into the whole of the creation of new religions, either. Actually, your question (or series of sub-questions) is not a problem.

Nope. It's just scientific fact.
This is science and what counts is the data.
"I was not convinced by any one person or interest group is the data I have. I was totally convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if not anything about it, we would be in serious trouble. "
Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (r)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut
Here are two summaries of the mountain of the revised data that truly convinced Admiral and the great majority of the scientific community, short and long.http: / / http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Ima…http:// IPCC-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1-report ….
summarized as: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report …
There is a lot less controversy about this is the real world is on Yahoo answers: http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a …
And much less controversial in the scientific community than you can guess from the few skeptics talked about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_…http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi / content / fu …
"There'sa better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue that I know … Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this time. You really can not find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away. "

Religious speech has been worrying the political and scientific ages.Whats going to hurt another? Do not make one wonder if we are to escape despite the primitive philosophy. Each and every generation is under some kind of apocalyptic dilemma. If you spawn with the consensus of science, religion or politics.

It's great when things like this because deniers. It is solid proof that they have nothing sensible to say.

The church also forbids the killing. Should the murder also fall under the separation of church and state?

global warming is a religion - a belief system are united by faith, not science.
In that stupid "movie": no, it would not be the same: at least the Ten Commandments have a social redemption to the quality of your item.
