Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar has likened champions of the fight against global warming to creators of an intolerant religion. Aznar said Wednesday he does not deny global warming, but rather questions the fact that so much money is being dedicated to combat it while the world is in an economic crisis. “Many of the champions of the idea of climatic apocalypse have little or nothing to do with science,” he said. “They are something else. It is more like a new religion that condemns to the public bonfire those who dare question their theses, forecasts and warnings,” Aznar said. He added: “The smallest doubt as to the man-made origin of climate change is automatic cause for eco-excommunication.”
