Court in the United Kingdom Agrees with EaBo Clipper, Calls "Global Warming" a Religion

by: Rob "EaBo Clipper" Eno

Sat Nov 07, 2009 at 14:18:50 PM EST


I have been ridiculed by the lefty blogosphere in this state because I have made the correlation between so called man-made Global Warming and a religion.  It seems that the United Kingdom threw her courts has bestowed the belief in Global Warming with religious status.

In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Michael Burton said that "a belief in man-made climate change ... is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations".

The ruling could open the door for employees to sue their companies for failing to account for their green lifestyles, such as providing recycling facilities or offering low-carbon travel.

The decision regards Tim Nicholson, former head of sustainability at property firm Grainger plc, who claims he was made redundant in July 2008 due to his "philosophical belief about climate change and the environment".

Of course Jedi is a legal religion in the UK as well but isn't it fun to see political correctness run amok?

HT Red State.

Seems tenuous. (0.00 / 0)
It counts as a religion because a recent law lowered the bar to include philosophical beliefs.

The grounds for Mr Nicholson's case stem from changes to employment law made by Baroness Scotland, the Attorney General, in the Employment Equality (Religion and Belief) Regulations 2003.

The regulations effectively broaden the protection to cover not just religious beliefs or those "similar" to religious beliefs, but philosophical beliefs as well.

The thing with Jedi being a religion is that it is what some people self identified as on the UK census.

Does anyone self identify their religion as being Global Warming Something?  Doubt it.

Hmm; sounds like a conspiracy .. (0.00 / 0)
This week I was busy booking accomidations for our vacation and I ran into a little snag finding places in San Ramon CR.
This is the kind of stuff that passes for relaxing out that way ..

For those looking to just relax, the private movie theater onsite provides the chance to watch first-run films in comfort, along with nightly showings of Al Gore's global warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth."

Hmm ..  I think I would rather crash out under a bridge except for the snakes.


If Global Warming is a religion............... (0.00 / 0)
then like Christianity it should be wiped out of every public place in the United States.  It can no longer be taught in public schools, encouraged on government land, forced on citizens through the legislative process.  No doubt the ACLU will be filing suit immediately to correct any of those indiscretions I just mentioned.

Oh no no no (0.00 / 0)
Global warming has the consent of the governments of the UN.

didn't you get the memo
government = good
belief in God = bad
