3 Climate Change & the Environment: a new Religion?

Some have argued that the fervour of the ‘climate-change crowd’ is a new kind of religiosity, and modern environmentalism a sort of substitute religion with a highly paid priesthood. Is this justified? The great environmentalist Rene Dubos has written: “Our salvation depends on our ability to create a religion of nature." What do you think?

4 Outreach

At our January meeting we discussed whether MHK should get involved in charitable work. We decided to return to the issue at our March meeting and to temporarily remove reference to our doing charitable works from our website. We will have the discussion in the context of report backs from two recent meetings: a meeting held in Central MK at the Wetherspoon Pub (23 Feb) that explored what kind of local campaigning we might like to start; and a Regional Humanist Meeting at Bedford (7 Mar) attended by eight Humanist groups and Andrew Copson (Chief Exec. BHA).
