A guy that knows what he's talking about: Czech Pres: Environmentalism is a religion WASHINGTON, March 9 (UPI) -- Environmentalism is a religion that is based more on political ambitions than science, the president of the Czech Republic warned Friday. Speaking at the Cato Institute, a public policy think-tank, President Vaclav Klaus said that environmentalists who clamor for policy change to combat global warming "only pretend" to be promoting environmental protection, and are actually being driven by a political agenda. "Environmentalism should belong in the social sciences," much like the idea of communism or other "-isms" such as feminism, Klaus said, adding that "environmentalism is a religion" that seeks to reorganize the world order as well as social behavior and value systems worldwide. As for government spending on global warming studies, the former finance minister and of the Eastern European nation and trained economist said that such efforts were a "waste of money," adding that there was already sufficient scientific evidence for those seeking policy change to back up their proposals. Meanwhile, he pointed out that those seeking to protect the environment could do a great deal under the existing political framework and with existing technologies, such as importing less goods from far-flung regions that require enormous jet fuel use. http://www.upi.com/InternationalInte...ironmentalism_ is_a_religion/20070309-060020-3030r/ -- |

be wrong, as he is in this case. I know many people whose interest in the
environment is a result of their religion, environmentalism does not replace
their religion.
For atheists, environmentalism is not a religion, it is enlightened
self-interest. Is capitalism a religion?

Vaclav Klaus is free to form any opinion he likes and he is equally free to be wrong, as he is in this case. I know many people whose interest in the environment is a result of their religion, environmentalism does not replace their religion. |
One of several articles I've seen about religious beliefs mingled with
religion:
http://www.bayjournal.com/article.cfm?article=1522
Another, which I can't find at the moment, mentioned an X-treme Christian
congregation in Kentucky, IIRC, claiming that the earth was not ours to
destroy.

What's on the menu for tonight in your household? In about an hour I'll be
starting a 8 pound (Cook's brand) hickory smoked butt portion ham and
serving it w/ whipped potato & baby peas. Tomorrow I'll start a regular
white bread for ham or ham and pickle sandwiches. I grind my own h&p.
Hmmmmmm.

It was a bit confusing to see frequent references to "Pope" but not that
Pope. I'd like to see the Pope speak out on this more often. Perhaps he
does and I overlook it.

Great article, thanks. How did you happen to notice it? |
If I recall, my interest began with a story from Science Friday, the PBS
radio show produced by left wing tree hugging socialist communist fags. It's
a great show.
