Remember kids, if some guy on a street corner or some kooky radio preacher was sermonizing about this stuff the Atheist echo chamber in here would go off its rocker in attacking religion.
But when we slap the magic word "Global Warming" on the same thing, now it's "science approved"!! Hell, even better: Those kook whackjob Christians who predict the end of the world on a precise date at least admit they were wrong when it doesn't happen! We don't even have to have that level rationality with our predictions, we just double down or claim that magical government regulations staved off Doomsday.
If the "whackjob Christians" actually had some evidence, instead of quoting from an ancient book, people might listen to them more. Science is funny that way. It actually requires evidence. Also, simply because someone accepts AGW or biological evolution, doesn't mean they are an atheist. AGW and evolution don't conflict with non-Christian religions, or any form of Christianity that is not the whackjob fundamentalist Evangelical type of Christianity. Unfortunately, we have a lot of them in America, though they are small minority world-wide (you know, the rest of the world - that place "outside America").
