They’ve all – Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Baptist – fallen for climate change chicanery; and the power-mongers of worldly and – in the case of Rome – corrupt churches have chosen a climategate moment to redouble their efforts at sinking into irrelevancy.

A total of 16 leaders of Christian Churches in the UK, including the Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols and the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, will join in a service to call on world leaders to act against climate change.

The ecumenical service that will be held in London this Saturday, December 5 aims to urge political leaders meeting in Copenhagen to ‘Act Now To Stop Climate Change’, Independent Catholic News reports.

Among others slated to attend are Bishop Declan Lang of Clifton, Head of the International Department of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference; Bishop John Rawsthorne of Hallam, Chair of CAFOD, Revd David Gamble, Chair of the Methodist Conference; Reverend Pat Took, Chair, London Baptist Association; Steve Clifford, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance; Colonel Brian Peddle, Chief Secretary for The Salvation Army UK and Republic of Ireland, the report said.

And in the UK, belief in anthropomorphic climate change has been legally given the status of a 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.

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 good news is that we can look forward with anticipation to Dawkins and his cronies mocking this as they do every other religion. Maybe not.

That bastion of meteorological political correctness, the BBC is backpedalling on climate change:

What happened to global warming?

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

Mere facts are insufficient to deter the pontificating padres of the Anglican Church, though, who continue to decry the “moral consequences of climate change”. And all this as, in Canada, icicles begin to form in the nostril hairs of trendy bishops who can no longer afford to heat the buildings from which they have purged their flocks in increasingly enthusiastic spasms of zealous heathenism.

Canadians urge their PM to follow Obama’s greenness:

Harper urged to follow Obama’s green lead

The Harper government is being urged to follow Barack Obama’s lead and inject billions of dollars into green jobs and green energy.

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity for Harper to beef up a few things. This is how Obama does Green:

US President Barack Obama has arrived in London for the G20 summit with a large contingent of the White House staff with him.

Hundreds of security guards, doctors, chefs and others are accompanying President Obama on his visit, and the entourage includes a number of presidential vehicles – including his new armour-plated limousine, The Beast, and aeroplane, Air Force One.

The 4,000 sq ft Boeing 747 is fully equipped for the president to work while he is in the air.

For Obama, to travel green means making the sacrifice of only using enough jet fuel to launch two four bedroom houses five miles into the air.

I expect the armour plated car uses a two cycle lawnmower engine, though.
