I didn't have time to post this information previously. However, some of the key comments out of the argument from the above report that I linked to (it is an extremely long report) are:
"Real science does not talk about facts; it talks about observations which might turn out to be inaccurate or even irrelevant. The global warmers like to use the name science but...promote slogans such as 'The science is settled'...Science accepts various theories...Religion is different"
"Most religions seek to grow by means of proselytism. Science does not seek or need converts....Religions have...a growing cohort of believers that reinforces the beliefs of existing adherents and participating in the quest for converts helps assuage the inevitable doubts they might harbour."
"Demagorguery is also, therefore, a feature of religion. Some people have the ability to hold the masses in their thrall....One of the most notorious demagogues of the godless religion is Al Gore. His disregard for truth is exemplified by his characteristic and ubiquitous pose in front of a satellite photograph of hurricane Katrina. Even some of the most vehement climate “scientists” refrain from connecting that particular isolated and monstrously tragic event with global warming."
"Religions vary in their treatment of unbelievers, which ranges from disregard to slaughter. The new religion relies at present on verbal assault and character assassination...They call the infidels “deniers” – a cheap and quite despicable verbal reference to the Holocaust."
Apostates are universally even more reviled than infidels. They have turned their backs on the true faith...Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace, broke with the movement over its growing anti-human, anti-scientific tendencies and drift into extremism. He has, consequently, been subjected to a prolonged campaign of vilification, described as an eco-Judas, turncoat and traitor."
"Freedom of speech and publication is at the very heart of science. Even the most foolish of hypotheses is allowed to be offered for examination. In much of religion the opposite is true; challenging the established dogma is heresy...It is a curious repetition of history that those who advance the hypothesis that the sun is the controlling element in changes of climate are vilified...Yet the sun is clearly the driver for climate – if it stopped shining, the earth’s temperature would drop to near absolute zero."
"Confession and Salvation
the British Royal Society... now offers its fellows the opportunity to make public confession of their sins in the form of their “carbon footprint”. They even have a programme of “Carbon Control” directed at seven to fourteen year olds, urging them to take control of their carbon emissions. Young children now have nightmares about the burning planet, just as some of us once had nightmares about burning in hell unless we believed"
Just thought since it is such a long article a lot of people wouldn't bother reading it so as I said I posted some of the key points I noted while reading it.
