In a previous blog, “Camping Out at the Carnival of Climate Denial,” I discussed how we seem to have come to a strange place as a society on climate change, where scientists have been telling us for over a decade how serious the problem is, and lately they’ve been telling us that unless major changes are begun soon, dangerous tipping points could be reached that could produce devastating dynamics that cannot be “undone.” And yet instead of listening to these warnings from the experts, too many of us are stuck at the carnival of climate denial, allowing the carnival barkers and hucksters to entice and intimidate us into staying, and helping to immobilize our country’s response in the process.
It is well past time for those of us still at the carnival of climate denial to exit the gates and allow the love of God to help us see and face the truth about climate change or global warming and the need to act. Once we do, we will discover that overcoming global warming presents us with tremendous opportunities to love God back and create a better world.
The puffington reverend should review his ten commandments. CO2/IPCC worship might not be such a good idea
you shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth
You shall not bow down to them or worship them
Thanks Rev, but I am gonna stick it out here at the carnival till I win one of those stuffed polar bears.

Back in the late 1990s I remember reading some enviro newsletter where the author was going on about the need to hook up with churches. All they needed to do was get the leaders convinced and they would get the whole flock. And for the most part, religious leaders ain’t too scientifically literate so it was a pretty easy sell for the New Age religious types.
Bit of an irony with this guy complaining about “carnival barkers and hucksters.”
International Panel of Climate Carnival! Good description! False Prophets is also fitting for the so called “Experts” in their field. They are equal to the side show freaks at the carnival. Maybe that is their expertise.
THE 9th COMMANDMENT
Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.

Finally, someone gives the correct context to AGW belief. Now all I am waiting for is its Jonestown.
Technically he is a pagan
