Well, we can't deny that there was a reaction can we?
A good reaction.

Those events are organised by the students/teachers of political studies.
There are debates about all sorts of things almost every week.

excuse me a religion? it doesn't matter if you belive in global warming. global warming = pollution, you can't really belive it. its really up to us to stop it so there is no point of beliving it. oh ya Arrianna try some universities in canada.

That's not completely true. Global warming isn't just related to pollution.

Recently I have been listening to people defending man made global warming against skeptics and I am being reminded strongly of fanatical religious discussions defending religion against skeptics. For them it is something one shouldn't even question. It appears to have become a matter of blind faith.

So as I was wondering to myself if it had become a matter of "religion" for many I discovered an article that hit upon what I was thinking.

World Watch by Orson Scott Card


So what do you think? Has belief in Global Warming risen to levels of religious fervor? Is it something that "must be believed" without question or is it simply a matter of some political debate?
