Column: Environmentalism Is a Fundamentalist Religion

An opinion column appearing in (of all places) Newsweek, a profoundly liberal publication, appears under the headline, "Environmentalism Is a Fundamentalist Religion." That sure caught our attention! Written by Joel Kotkin, Presidential Fellow in Urban Futures at Chapman University, the column assumes that man-made global warming is happening (something we do not assume). But even operating with that assumption, Kotkin says what's needed to combat so-called climate change is a "pragmatic approach based on adapting to real and verifiable dangers." He goes on to say the left's "war" against climate change is doomed to make things worse for most people. Kotkin is one of the few on the left who is refreshingly honest!
