Global warming is the new religion of First World urban elites

[NeonSamurai]

Only thing I would comment on is why would I want to listen to a geologist? It is almost like going to a car mechanic for medical advice...

Now granted he may know a bit about warming trends in the past from geology (not much though, those trends tend not to show up very well unless they change the geology in an area (like a glacier for example), most of what we know comes from the fossil record instead which is pretty separate from geology). But he is way outside his field of expertise when it comes to current environmental patterns and changes, and determining the causes of those changes.

That he has papers and books out on the subject doesn't matter, like most books and papers out there, they probably are not worth the paper they are printed on.

So why should I listen to him?

and Al Gore is a certified expert?

Yes lets just dismiss this and continue to throw good money after bad. After all the goal is to overwhelm the system.

Didn't say I would listen to him either.

Religion is about faith. Research is about evidence.
While it is clear that some of the people that accept the recent (and not so recent) research on climate change seek to promote a political agenda (including the aforementioned Al Gore), the very wording of Ian Pilmar leaves no doubt that he is more interested in that agenda than in his own field.

Pretty much describes Tchocky right here:

...Purging humankind of its supposed sins of environmental degradation has become a religion with a fanatical and often intolerant priesthood...

You have only one religion. Global Warming.
