Do you ever get the feeling that climate change is a cult? Does it ever seem like its adherents are immune to reason as they vindictively lash out at anyone who questions their beliefs? Wouldn’t it be nice if they just left you alone and let you live your life?

Well, too bad. You live in 2019 and you use modern technology and conveniences. You eat food that actually tastes good. You’re guilty and you need to confess. Repent, sinner!

I submitted my own confession: “I work in an air-conditioned newsroom at NBC.” They haven’t published it yet, but I feel better already.

Hat tip to Mark Hemingway, who notes: “This from NBC News is amazing. Climate change is some kind of religion — all eschatology, minus the redemption.” In other words, you’re always guilty but you can never be saved.

There’s a lot of that going around lately:

Today in chapel, we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life? pic.twitter.com/tEs3Vm8oU4 — Union Seminary (@UnionSeminary) September 17, 2019

Confession to my plants: I’ve been stalking you.
