Climate Change Global Warming Just Another Religious Faith

Can Climate Change be described in similar terms to a religious faith? Both accept the basic premise of their belief on faith alone without actual first hand knowledge of that premise. Ask a warmist believer to explain the Science behind their belief and they cannot, other than in the most basic of terms, and some not even that. Yet, at the same time, they forget some of the basic Science they all learned in High School. Because a Scientist has told them it is so, and because it has been written down, and then peer reviewed, then that is good enough for them, in much the same manner as for believers of a religious faith.

“Climate Change Global Warming Just Another Religious Faith”

Not for the one perpetuating the fraud. They know full well there isn’t any truth behind the idea that humans and CO2 are causing the Earth to get warmer.

What kind of religion endures despite evidence to the contrary of its tenets?

You mustn’t confuse faith with credulity. Faith, by the best known definition, requires good evidence for belief in the thing not personally observed. Credulity does not, it wants to believe and seeks a reason to justify belief.

The current “Parboiled Earth” crowd may have something akin to religious belief but it is the old animism tarted up.

Yes it's exactly the same as evolution. It is accepted as an ultimate reality without proof. This is how religion works.

Is this theology or PR?
