MIT Climate Scientist: Global Warming Believers a 'Cult'

An MIT professor of meteorology is dismissing global-warming alarmists as a discredited “cult” whose members are becoming more hysterical as emerging evidence continues to contradict their beliefs.

During an appearance on this writer’s radio show Monday, MIT Professor emeritus Richard Lindzen discussed the religious nature of the movement.

“As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here. Think about it,” he said. “You’ve led an unpleasant life, you haven’t led a very virtuous life, but now you’re told, you get absolution if you watch your carbon footprint. It’s salvation!”

Lindzen, 74, has issued calm dismissals of warmist apocalypse, reducing his critics to sputtering rage.

Why can't people accept global warming?

because it's a hoax. the globe has been warming and cooling for ions. it's called cycles and man can't control what God put in place. how arrogant a thought. man bigger than God, just laughable.

if you are in this cult, you need to get help and get out now...

When after 20 years the temperature has not changed, 10:02.

But, that's not the overall subject. Global warming, as I see it, has probably been happening since the ICE AGE, (gosh, yathink?) which nobody seems to think about. It all happened before the "Industrial Revolution" when people burned oil and gas at twice what we do today.

Yes, I am calling you an idiot, and all your friends as well.Once you can digest facts and reality, we might become friends.
