NOTE: Only weeks before the Copenhagen climate conference in December, someone leaked thousands of internal emails from Britain’s University of East Anglia and its Climate Research Unit. These emails from environmental scientists and leaders in the United Nations climate network, revealed a long-time pattern of outright fabrications, blocked scientific investigation, and strategic exaggerations. Dubbed “ClimateGate,” it was painfully obvious that the so-called “climate science” was nothing more than a lapdog for international politics.
The following article by Cliff Kincaid touches on ClimateGate while demonstrating a disturbing side to Christendom – the move by major religious groups, Evangelical, Protestant and Catholic, toward a false, “green” religion. The pretext: save the world from global warming.
Cliff Kincaid is a veteran journalist, author, and researcher. He heads up the US-based watchdog organization, America’s Survival (www.usasurvival.org), a group that monitors the drive toward global governance. He’s also involved with Accuracy in Media, a body that monitors how major news outlets deal with stories and events of significance.
With the ClimateGate revelations of flimsy “science” behind the man-made global warming theory, the role of the religious left in promoting this fraudulent scheme now deserves serious media scrutiny. Walter Grazer, who served as the Director of the Environmental Justice Program for the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops from 1993 to 2007 and is now interim executive director of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment (NRPE), was asked for a comment on ClimateGate and replied, “I am really not up on that issue at all.”
Ignoring the growing scandal, the National Religious Coalition on Creation Care issued a press release on the occasion of the opening of the Copenhagen climate change conference, declaring that “climate change is a moral and ethical issue because it deals with lifestyle issues and choices that all people must face.”
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was quoted as saying that Catholic bishops will be promoting a new “Climate Covenant” and “take the message on the seriousness of climate change to every Catholic parish in America.”
But what is the real agenda behind the fraudulent “science?” Is it something more than political and economic control over people’s lives?
Dr. James Wanliss, Associate Professor of Physics at Presbyterian College, has written The Green Dragon, a book about how environmentalism is actually committed to “the reconstruction of a pagan world order” and “rejection of Christian spirituality.”
Wanliss argues that the environmental movement “is a religion with a vision of sin and repentance, heaven and hell. It even has a special vocabulary, with words like ‘sustainability’ and ‘carbon neutral.’ Its communion is organic food. Its sacraments are sex, abortion, and when all else fails, sterilization. Its saints are Al Gore and the InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”
“Both professing Protestants and Roman Catholics bear a burden of guilt for the current political mess we are in with the global warming and other hysterias,” he argues. “If the church had not turned from the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is unlikely the Green Dragon would have been able to so deeply sink its fangs into our lives.” . . . . .
