Environmentalism as Religion

Michael Crichton was a famous author and speaker whose many books have been made into movies such as: Jurrasic ParkCongo, The Andromeda Strain, Sphere, and many others. He also was the creator of the successful and popular ER television series.

Before his death in 2008 from throat cancer, he had became an outspoken skeptic of man-made global warming and wrote and spoke on the topic and environmentalism in general. I reviewed his book, State of Fear in 2007 which deals with the topic of man-made global warming.

This is an interesting video clip where he comments on Environmentalism as a religion through his training in anthropology. I think his perspective is very interesting and informative. What do you think?
