Obama's "Church of the Unholy Climate Change" Violates First Amendment

President Obama and other mindless Administration and Congressional adherents to the global warming hoax are but a few steps away from violating the First Amendment's Establishment Clause with their policies, or so suggests George F. Will.
Last week, Todd Stern, America's Special Envoy for Climate Change -- yes, there is one; and people wonder where to begin cutting government -- warned that those interested in "undermining action on climate change" will seize on "whatever tidbit they can find." Tidbits like specious science, and the absence of warming?
It is tempting to say, only half in jest, that Stern's portfolio violates the First Amendment, which forbids government from undertaking the establishment of religion. A religion is what the faith in catastrophic man-made global warming has become. It is now a tissue of assertions impervious to evidence, assertions which everything, including a historic blizzard, supposedly confirms and nothing, not even the absence of warming, can falsify.
Why invoke any jest? The behavior of warmists has all the hallmarks attributed to devout believers in any religion. Religious faith simply cannot be supported by existing science, and indeed, faith in The Climate Church simply cannot be supported by existing science. Well, that's all good and fine, as long as membership in this church is not forced upon Americans through senseless laws and ludicrous policies that will affect every single American's pocketbook, not to mention freedom.
Now, even with the notion of such "settled science" thoroughly discredited, President Obama and the high priests and priestesses of his Environmental Protection Agency continue the federal government's effort to establish climate change control based only on faith impervious to logic or reason.
All together now -- join hands and, no matter what happens or how cold it gets, chant with the high priests and priestesses: "Warming is real, and it's caused by human actions." If that's not establishing a religion -- what is it?
Anyone who still clings to the final straws of the AGW myth is a fool. Luckily there is a fool's church just for such folk. Unfortunately, it is supported by the rest of us taxpayers.
