And it’s curious how certain “atheist” types, believe in global warming as if it were a religious faith.

That's an important observation, and one that I've often pondered. It seems to me that a desire to be "holier than thou" is a universal human tendency which exists wholly separate from any religious belief. Being morally or spiritually superior is a pleasing conceit. It inflates the ego, improves an otherwise poor self-image, and gives one license to rationalize acts which are otherwise wrong. Thus we see "Social Justice Warriors" and "Eco Terrorists" whose cause exempts them from normal rules of behavior, if not the law itself.
