Looking at this photo of Al Gore, the first thing that comes to my mind is how similar this image is to the style of televangelists.....particularly, the style of the now disgraced Jimmy Swaggart.Today,I came across a piece in Catholic Exchange entitled Global Warming and Religion.Googling the subject, I find out that the idea isn't new.From Dec.2004,we have Meteorologist Likens Fear of Global Warming to 'Religious Belief' and from Feb. 2005, we have a piece called The New Religion is Global Warming .As an aside, I think this jumping,screaming, televangelist persona is what ultimately defeated Al Gore in his presidential campaign.That persona may appeal to Liberal voters, but your typical, mainstream American finds that style a bit embarrassing.
