Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion "as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity," according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world's would-be environmental watchdog. – FN
Czech President Vaclav Klaus recognizes environmentalism for what it is: a new religion:
In the wake of the attention recently given to a policy paper that urged the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to elevate environmentalism to a new religion, Czech President Vaclav Klaus is charging climate-change fanatics with having pursued precisely that course of action.
A paper entitled “The UNEP We Want” briefly attracted media attention just prior to the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, and one line that drew particular attention was the assertion: “The environment should compete with religion as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity.” Such a bizarre assertion would essentially establish the global environmental watchdogs as a type of priesthood for Mother Earth.
Whether or not global warming is man-made is up for debate but there is no confusion over the fact that environmentalism religion has been fabricated in the minds of men.
