Anthropogenic Global Warming is the heart of a new eco-theology.

Along with political correctness and political environmentalism it is the spearhead of an assault on science which poses as the very thing it seeks to destroy.

Climate Change, this new religion, is not science. It is a faith - a belief held without evidence yet it claims a scientific foundation and holds scientists hostage through its new found control over Western governments.

Climate change alarmists have never been reluctant to use the name of science even though they actually despise it. You've all heard the slogan "the science is settled." I don't know how many times I've heard that very phrase from the mouths of activists at the Victiorian National Parks Association. The truth is, however, that the science is never settled and the debate is never closed.

Religion is somewhat different to science. It is the nature of religion to be prohibitive and authoritarian and strangely, this is not always a bad thing when the religion is open and transparent, as is Christianity. Traditionally we have believed that religion is a personal journey and that sin is a personal action or fault.

The new environmental religion is different in that it preaches a collective transgression and seeks a collective solution. This represents a blatant religious grab for political power -- a return to the Middle Ages.

But it runs even deeper than that. This religion makes an enemy of the very foundation of life on earth - carbon.

Carbon is the ideal candidate for original sin since no one can escape dependence on it. The very thing that gives us life is now branded toxic and a pollutant.

If this was a theological essay I would identify this new religion as a inversion of Christianity with the same themes of sin and salvation - something that many Christian people would claim was a diabolical attack on the truth.

In the modern world, at least until now, clairvoyance or fortune telling has mostly had a bad rap but in the ancient world divination was pretty highly regarded. And now, in these early years of the so-called Age Of Aquarius, we have divination back in the form of computer modeling and the new soothsayers are more than generously funded and inhabit the scientific faculties of universities which they have transformed into their personal temples.

At the end of the day the high priests of this religion are the enemies of humanity who see people as an inconvenience or a pestilence that can be disposed of. They're no better than the blood spattered Aztec priests who ripped out the hearts of the living before casting their bodies off cliff top altars as sacrificial victims to their bloodthirsty gods.
