Faith to save humanity?

According to the International Herald Tribune, the EU now urges religious leaders to do more to fight climate change.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said that churches, mosques and temples all have a role to play to help save the planet. “Climate change obliges all of us to take urgent action,” Barroso said.

The Archbishop of Church of Sweden, Anders Wejryd, has already made a false start by inviting a select group of internationally recognized opinion-makers from different faiths, cultures and continents to a climate summit to be held in Uppsala, Sweden, in November 2008.

Is this some desperate tactic to get us to finally succumb to the hypothesis of man-made global warming? If science doesn’t work, try faith. Faith does not need any evidence. And there truly is no evidence for AGW.
