FOX News Panel: Liberals Are “Worshipping the Environment” Instead of God
By David Gee, September 22, 2019

Members of a FOX News panel discussing climate change — mocking it, of course — claimed that environmentalists have “forgotten about God” and are “worshiping the environment instead.”

Which is their way of saying God will fix everything, so no need for us to do anything.

The Outnumbered panel was picking on 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg when conservative pundit Buck Sexton decided to tie environmentalism — climate change, specifically — to a religion. He was backed up by his co-host.

“Climate change is a religious belief for people who think they’re too smart for religion,” Sexton said.

Outnumbered co-host Melissa Francis piggybacked on the religious switcheroo Sexton says liberals are doing with the environment.

“They’ve got Catholic guilt and they’re going to confession,” Francis responded. “But they just have forgotten about God, so they’re worshipping the environment instead,” she added.

No. Just no. Climate change isn’t religion. There’s a key difference between the two: Only one is supported by the evidence. We understand the threat of climate change based on the scientific consensus, which is based on mountains of data. Religion is wishful thinking that relies on hope and tradition.

Emphasis added.

So does this mean that those who stand by 'faith' stand with Faux News?
