Soft Paganism

The Religious Left gathered to worship at aging rockers' and airhead models' feet. Jonah Goldberg, NRO, Tribune:

It's nice that Nemcova didn't want to blame the messenger, but it's hard to feel a similar reluctance about Live Earth's impresario in chief. Former Vice President Al Gore recently penned a book in which he rails against the current "assault on reason" by the evil forces of Earth-hating right-wingery. He repeatedly invokes science as if it's his exclusive property. But the soft paganism on display in Nemcova's faith-based assertion that a suboceanic earthquake was the result of Mother Nature sending us a message is typical of greenhouse gasbaggery.

Gaia on the loose.

(But Al, the preeminent Gaia oracle has become a nuclear power worshipper. How inconvenient.)
