Climate change belief given same legal status as religion

"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."

One more excerpt:
Mr Nicholson, 42, from Oxford, told a previous hearing that his views were so strong that he refused to travel by air and had renovated his house to be environmentally-friendly.
But his beliefs led to frequent clashes with Grainger's other managers, while he said that Rupert Dickinson, the firm's chief executive, treated his concerns with "contempt".

Once Mr Dickinson flew a member of staff to Ireland to deliver his Blackberry mobile phone after leaving it in London, Mr Nicholson claimed.

Mr Nicholson hailed the Employment Appeals Tribunal ruling as "a victory for common sense" but stressed climate change was "not a new religion".
He said: "I believe man-made climate change is the most important issue of our time and nothing should stand in the way of diverting this catastrophe.
"This philosophical belief that is based on scientific evidence has now been given the same protection in law as faith-based religious belief.
"Belief in man-made climate change is not a new religion, it is a philosophical belief that reflects my moral and ethical values and is underlined by the overwhelming scientific evidence."

I like this.
I admire this man, he stood up for his beliefs.
And yes, climate change is extremely important.

What do you think?
Are the views on the importance of environmental protection capable of amounting to a philosophical and/or religious belief?"An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly... more

PETA Sides With Glenn Beck.... Al Gore a hypocrite?

In the run up to the big United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee holds a hearing on the "Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act"; the president tours a solar energy center, and we get this from the United Kingdom: Stop global warming by stop eating meat.

If that sounds familiar it's because the U.N. brought it up before, but this time it comes from the U.K.'s climate chief Lord Stern of Brentford, who told The Times of London: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."

But Americans love our steaks, chops and burgers; we wouldn't stand for that would we?

Well, in Baltimore, Maryland, public schools have started "Meatless Monday" — no meat on the menu for the 80,000 kids they serve — so the students can "eat and learn about healthy, environmentally-friendly choices." The school board did this in concert with the group called Meatless Monday who say they are "committed to cutting out meat one day a week for their health and the health of the planet."

But back to England where Lord Stern says over time people's attitudes will change towards eating meat just like they have for other things, adding: "I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible."
And he is right. As late as the 1970s, some people treated drunk driving like a sport. Think how much that has changed. Not just the laws, but the way people think about it — socially unacceptable.

How about fur? Furs used to be a sign that you "made" it. Now, thanks to celebrity protesters joining groups like PETA, attitudes have changed. People still wear fur, but they're are in danger of getting covered in red paint.

But now we are talking about food choice as social responsibility. Celebrities from Paul McCartney to Pamela Anderson don't eat meat. Fine — good for them. It's a personal choice; they can do what they want.

That's why I am siding with PETA on this one — once again asking Al Gore: If you really want to save the planet, put down the cheeseburgers and pick up the veggie burgers. Time for soy milk and to-furkey. No more delicious chocolate cookies — how about a nice bean-thing. That is, if you want to save the planet.
