"But there is something much more fundamental at work. I suspect that it is no accident that it is in Europe that eco-fundamentalism in general and global warming absolutism in particular, has found its most fertile soil; for it is Europe that has become the most secular society in the world, where the traditional religions have the weakest hold. Yet people still feel the need for the comfort and higher values that religion can provide, and it is the quasi-religion of green alarmism and what has been well described as global salvationism (of which the global warming issue is the most striking example), which has filled the vacuum, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as little short of sacrilege."
