Jesus, Witches, and Global Warming

What would Jesus do? No seriously, I am not going down that path. But it is interesting to me that Global Warming is seriously starting to parallel witch hunts and religion. People believe the earth is in danger of Global Warming. They also believe that the Co2 output of mankind is solely responsible for this.

Let's talk about witches for a moment. During the early part of our history as America there were massive witch hunts. Leading members of science and the Church imbibed fear into us that these witches would do us great harm and were legions of Satan himself. It's a good thing that we had these people to lead us, as sheep, during these times because clearly we were not capable of logically understanding what a witch was or was not. And obviously, it was true, wasn't it? Since there aren't any witches today we can come to the logical conclusion that these people were spot on the money and eradicated all the witches.

So let's look at Global Warming. Despite that the entire scientific process of peer review has broken down, despite irrefutable evidence that Co2 is not the cause of warming, despite evidence that suggests a far more complicated model than we can comprehend, despite evidence that the earth has always had a dramatically changing atmosphere people still believe in Global Warming. Why is that?

How is it that conservatives, on the whole, can have faith and believe in Jesus and God without scientific proof, yet require this proof for Global Warming and don't believe the leftist media hype? However, if we look at the more liberal folks we typically see a strong belief in Global Warming DESPITE scientific evidence to the contrary, yet they also typically shun Jesus and God.

I find this to be a very frightening situation. You cannot prove, nor disprove, that God exists. Yet you can disprove the theories of Global Warming. So if people believe in it, with blind faith apparently, what is one to do?

What would Jesus do?
