If readers need a concrete example of the way global warming has become a new cult among the chattering/singing class, simply consider the comments by singer Steve Wonder that global warming was responsible for the cancer that killed singer Aretha Franklin!

“I just feel that all these various diseases that we have and all these things that are happening in the world in part is because there are those who don’t believe in global warming, don’t believe that what we do affects the world. What we eat affects the world.” Wonder said. “I just hope that people will grow up out of the foolishness and know that we all, by how we think, how we view, how we treat others, we will never unlock the key until we truly let go of the hatred, the bigotry, the evilness, the selfishness. We do that and we can unlock some of those things that keep us in this place. If you read it closely, though, what Wonder said is even dumber than blaming disease on Global Warming. The truth is that he blamed the spread of cancer on those who don’t believe in Global Warming. “I just feel that all these various diseases that we have and all that is happening in the world in part is because there are those who don’t believe in global warming,” Stevie Wonder said. So the pro-science Wonder is telling the world that a lack of belief in Global Warming is what killed Aretha Franklin, is what gave her cancer."
Thus, in the end, it is lack of faith in global warming, which is producing diseases. That is not science, nor religion, but basically magic. We note that none of the climate scientists sought to call him out on this, probably either agreeing with him, or seeing his remarks as useful to their political globalist cause.
