Making it Official

This from the London Telegraph:

Climate change belief given same legal status as religion
An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly dismissed for his green views after a judge ruled that environmentalism had the same weight in law as religious and philosophical beliefs.

Gil,
Judges may rule that legally one cannot be tossed for their understanding and confidence in the science of anthropogenic Climate Change; that does not make it a religion or belief structure.
The science is real and compelling. The nay-sayers are not credible and have never submitted their work for peer review as science demands. It is clear we are harming, possibly past a point where our civilization can continue in anything resembling what we know.
You may not like the conclusions or the decisions we will have to make, however please stop denigrating the science.
Ad Astra Per Aspera,
Kevin
