Do you think that the rise in climate activism is a secular religion acting as a replacement for traditional religion? Climate activism as a secular religion has:

Both apocalyptic and utopian visions of the world.

Sacred texts such as An Unconvenient Truth.

Saints such as Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.

Acts of penance such as buying carbon credits.

The concept of privilege as a replacement for Original Sin.

You are now convinced. What's the way ahead to change the minds of the religiously committed who are on board the climate change... mob (shall we say) and all the destroy the economies to save the planet from CO2? Can it be done? One bit of good news is that you changed, but this seems to be an exceedingly rare occurrence.
