Man made climate change belief now legally a religion

A British court ruling has given belief in man made climate change the same legal protections as religious beliefs.

This makes total sense...seriously though. Isn't a religion something one believes in but cannot prove on scientific grounds?

Even though Al Gore and co. like to say the scientific debate is over on man made climate change, there has been no conclusive evidence to prove their theories. So someone would have to have faith in the validity of the theory of man made climate change.

From Telegraph

An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly dismissed for his green views after a judge ruled that environmentalism had the same weight in law as religious and philosophical beliefs.

In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Michael Burton said that "a belief in man-made climate change ... is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations".

The ruling could open the door for employees to sue their companies for failing to account for their green lifestyles, such as providing recycling facilities or offering low-carbon travel.
