“It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion,” Lovelock observed. “I don’t think people have noticed that, but it’s got all the sort of terms that religions use … The greens use guilt. That just shows how religious greens are. You can’t win people round by saying they are guilty for putting (carbon dioxide) in the air.”

Yes, the alarmist viewpoint no longer rests on science, data and the scientific method but on religious-like guilt-tripping people into taking actions which will do nothing for the temperature of the earth and much to enriching the coffers of the enviro-activist NGO's.

Note that this quote if from James Lovelock, the originator of the 'Gaia' theory.

The poll is from the Toronto Sun. VERY large sample size, but not 'scientific'
