An excellent analogy. Your points are well-founded and appear accurate, with the possible exception of Al Gore as Pope. Perhaps he would be more like a Bishop, with Hansen or even the IPCC as Pope.
On second thought, perhaps the IPCC could be seen as the counterpart to the Vatican?
Anyway, kudos to you for pointing this out. I have noticed it myself, but haven't had time to try and put it all together. Even if I had, I doubt I could have done better.
One final thought: does my recent thread, Lets finish this! Numbers do not lie. make me a counterpart to Copernicus?

You know, you could be onto something with this Cult idea, I never considered it until now. What I DO know is that you feel like you have to justify your position every time you say that you don't believe there is such a thing as "global warming" & that there's not enough true & unbiased scientific evidence to support it.
Every damn time!
And yet, its funny how once you do state your position as a non-believer, how many more people pipe up & say they agree with you. It so much like a secret society!!! Yep, the Secret Society of People Who are not Stupid Enough to Fall for GW Lie!! I like the slant you've put on this, thanx for that!

SD, you know a lot of my recent threads are thanks to you. You helped me see the correlation in several things.
Care to discuss this hypothesis, or will you just give a hit and run tactic.
Well, I am in this topic as in most others, agnostic ... that is to say that I accept the limitations of both my knowledge and my understanding of the knowledge I have. Though my last thread on the topic perhaps didn't convey it (hey I just tried something new to try to inspire a different way of looking at something for its own merit) I am rather humble in my claims of truth or knowledge. Fact of the matter is I simply don't know. If I had to guess i would guess that there is truth on both camps, and much more to be discovered.
But I have to say I always cringe a little when I see intellectual "mobs" forming for or against an idea or theory. They remind me of the Simpsons episode where they think a comet is going to crush them only to burn off on entry ... and Moe says: "Let's go burn down the observatory so this will never happen again." I see an awful lot of folks right now jumping on the AGW hoax bandwagon, in a exactly the same way others jumped on the GW bandwagon ... hence my "other side of the same coin" statement.

You know it's funny you mention the "asshats" in Washington ... hey, I live here, i run into them the whole time. They really are asshats, and they can't order desert much less construct and maintain a conspiracy.
