Environmentalists have bastardised science as a gospel truth. The extent to which environmentalism echoes old religious values is eerily striking - a biblical belief in an "end of days" scenario  - today its the environmentalists who make shrill warnings about the end of the world.

wtf was he talking about? There is no scientific proof, no scientific research, no scientific statistics on environmental issues? Did he really understand science? Well, if environmentalism is a religion, then the Business-As-Usualism is a religion too, and, even an much evil one.

Crichton was a medical doctor from Harvard, I believe the man had a pretty good grasp on science. You're a jack off on the internet. I think Mike might win on that one. Plus "Business-As-Usualism" (not sure where you conjured that up) does not fit the bill for anthropological definitions for religion. Wake up. Pay attention. But most importantly shut the **** up.

The girl suggested that calling environmentalism a religion is a prejudice. This is interesting because it implies a prejudice against religion. Most interesting.

Good WORK Lord Monckton.
I hope that you will noted and honoured as you should be.
Please continue until this matter of Global Warming is sealed to never return again.
So that we can all get back to focusing on local pollution - were we actually can effect change to our local environment, without needing a global carbon tax to do it.
Cheers to you Monckton

Read his book State of Fear where he throughly research AGW arguement. If he was alive today he would be all over Climategate and he would be scolding Barbara Boxer for her rude treatment with him.

Didn't you hear Crichton's remarks distinguishing environmentalism as a science from the religion of environmentalism? He was clearly for environmentalism as a humane, open-ended science, not as a closed-minded, straight-and-narrow religion that cares more about "correct" behavior and thought than the well-being or safety of humans or the achievement of its stated mission. Listen again to what he says.

Science ≠ Religion (not the same thing)

environmentalism is for gays and hippies, not for common everyday people.
just want to make it clear.
