Global warming is the new religion of First World urban elites

The Vancouver Sun

Geologist Ian Plimer takes a contrary view, arguing that man-made climate change is a con trick perpetuated by environmentalists

Ian Plimer has outraged the ayatollahs of purist environmentalism, the Torquemadas of the doctrine of global warming, and he seems to relish the damnation they heap on him.

Plimer is a geologist, professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, and he may well be Australia's best-known and most notorious academic.

Plimer, you see, is an unremitting critic of "anthropogenic global warming" -- man-made climate change to you and me -- and the current environmental orthodoxy that if we change our polluting ways, global warming can be reversed...

Global warming/environmentalism is a religion, plain and simple! It's also one of the most vain beliefs a person can hold. To believe that our everyday living and prosperity is damaging/destroying this planet, when there are everyday examples of natural forces far more powerful and with far larger effects on this planet than anything done by humans throughout our time on this planet is pure arrogance and the height of vanity.

We are to be good stewards of the earths resources, but they are just that RESOURCES. They are here for us to use, yes use wisely, but use none the less. We should also not be worshiping CREATION, rather it's CREATOR! There's going to be a price we pay for how we conduct ourselves using these resources and how we carry on in these manners, but it's going to be having to answer to THE CREATOR for not following His instructions.

Number 1, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

Number 2, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

Number 3, "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me..."

Now for the "elites" and "educated" amongst us I realize you're going to roll your eyes and view me as some sort of rube. All I can say is, try not to be such an arrogant elitist urban snob and be careful about going out in the the rain, you might drown with your nose turned up that much.
