They just don't seem like the same 'leaps of faith' from where I'm sitting... the former seems just good common sense, the latter a wild flight of fancy, a story... are they the same type of belief? Is the same leap of faith required to believe in Environmentalism (well-being of the planet) as Christianity (rising from the dead, angelic hosts, immaculate conception, heaven/hell, etc.)? I'm not convinced.

Well just because you don't see it from where you are sitting doesn't mean that other people don't see it differently. From where I'm sitting I do see it as being the same leap of faith. I havn't seen or heard any evidence sufficient enough to make me believe in Global Warming.
