Scientists now pushing FAITH as the most important factor in “climate change” — if you believe it’s real, then it’s real

Has climate change gone from being just a scientific theory to a pseudo-scientific cult? A new “study” from the University of Warwick seems to underline the fact that the push for people to comply with the belief in global warming and human impact resides more in “faith,” than in science. In a world where anyone who even dares to question a single aspect of climate change and the hypotheses that are purported as facts is labeled “anti-science” and a “denier of truth,” it is more than ironic that they’ve actually shown faith, of all things, to be more important than anything else, when it comes to global warming.
The researchers found that when people were encouraged to believe that they could personally do things to help stop climate change, they were more likely to engage in personal actions to reduce their “footprint,” so to speak. For example, the team found that members of the “High Efficacy Climate Change” group (who received messages that encouraged them to believe in their impact on climate change) were more likely to adopt behaviors to “stop” climate change: They drove less, air-dried their laundry, used less water and were more stringent with their household thermostat settings.
The team also found that pushing the belief that certain behaviors could help “make a difference” increased the “moralization” of these actions. In other words, they found that in addition to getting people to reduce their energy use also encouraged them to have a stronger belief in the morality of what they were doing: Saving energy was good, and using energy was “bad.”
While conserving the use of resources like water is, of course, very important, the concept of “climate change believers” believing themselves to be more “moral” would seem to imply that people who do not engage in similar actions would be viewed as “immoral,” — a very cult-like mindset that has overtly religious undertones. It’s no secret that in early America, people deemed “immoral” by the majority were subject to a multitude of inhumane punishments: How long will it take for dissenters in modern America to experience the wrath of climate believers?
