Al the Prophet

A new and dangerous religion is rising in the world, which may leave us pining for Radical Islam. From the Globe and Mail:

It wasn't any old-time religion that drew these believers to Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto, but a concept they feel is every bit as crucial to humanity -- global warming -- that made them want to get close to Al Gore, the impassioned former U.S. vice-president, as he delivered his now famous Inconvenient Truth about climate change.
Like many a bygone leader who happened along at a key moment in history, Mr. Gore -- who has been sounding the environmental warning bell for years -- has suddenly inspired the kind of faith and fervour in others that he insists will be needed to overcome such a monumental problem.
"From my perspective, it is a form of religion," said Bruce Crofts, 69, as he held a banner aloft for the East Toronto Climate Action Group amid a lively prelecture crowd outside the old hall.

I think of global warming as a new religion because its increasingly a "heresy" to speak against it. Here's my own take on the new religion, which seeks to bring down world capitalism in favor of the Dark Age-Superstition Rises.
