Peter Lilley: Global Warming as a 21st Century Religion

Chesterton said that "when people stop believing in orthodox religion, rather than believe in nothing, they will believe in anything". One of the ersatz religions which fills the void in recent years is belief in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming. It claims to be based on science. But it has all the characteristics of an eschatological cult.

What most clearly distinguishes the Catastrophic Global Warming cult from science is that it is not refutable by facts.

5 Principles of Sustainable Architecture

What makes architecture sustainable varies widely and can include anything from a building which is constructed entirely of recycled materials to being one which is powered completely by the sun. By following sustainable principles, architects are able to create environmentally sound and energy efficient buildings which promote conservation and a consideration of environmental impacts and historical preservation.
