I agree with Jerry Pournelle's comment on Intelligent Design and global warming here, although I see the two as more related by both being symptomatic of worrisome macro trends in education, rather than by cause & effect. He's right about how global warming has become a kind of pseudo-religion for some folks, with no debate being allowable or possible since the stakes are viewed by them as just being too high to permit continued skepticism and examination of data.
